Bergin Has Excellent Timing; Docherty Flips Out Khorchidian
Maria Konnikova moved all in from the button and Gergo Szabo called for his last 15,000 in the small blind. Conor Bergin in the big blind took a peek at his cards, then snap-called for 35,000.
Gergo Szabo: 10♥10♠ 
Conor Bergin: A♣A♥
Maria Konnikova: A♠8♦
Bergin had woken up with two aces, and the 9♠8♣5♦5♣6♣ board kept him in the lead as he scooped the pot to earn a double up off Konnikova and send Szabo to the rail.
"Half an hour ago he had 1K," a dealer watching the table said.
At another table, Nichan Khorchidian had shoved for 30,000 from the button and David Docherty put him at risk in the big blind.
Nichan Khorchidian: K♦Q♠
David Docherty: 5♣5♥
Khorchidian needed to win the flip to stay alive, but he couldn't connect with the 3♣8♣8♦J♣8♥ board as Docherty secured the knockout.
