Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up with Wei Zheng all in and at risk versus Niall Farrell.

Wei Zheng: K♠Q♠ All in
Niall Farrell: J♠J♥

Farrell offered to switch hands with Zheng as he believed he wouldn't win. However the J♦3♠9♣ provided Farrell with top set. Still thinking he would somehow lose, those thoughts were quashed on the J♣ turn as Zheng was now drawing dead. The K♣ was inconsequential and Zheng was eliminated.

Bonanata Scoops Sizeable Pot

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up with Marcelo Bonanata, Maksim Petrov and Ryan Stiner having committed 20,000 chips each to the pot.

The 9♥10♥3♣ flop saw Bonanata move all in from the small blind for 29,300. Stiner called and Petrov folded.

Marcelo Bonanata: 8♣7♣ All in
Ryan Stiner: K♦K♥

Stiner was drawing dead on the 6♣ as that gave Bonanata a straight and a redraw to a flush, not that it was needed. The 9♠ river was a mere formality and Bonanata took the pot.
