Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

June Jenkins: 10♣10♦All in
Seamus Cahill: 7♥5♥

Cahill's flush was vulnerable to a board pairing, and the J♦ turn gave Jenkins a full house and left Cahill drawing dead. The 7♣ was a formality.

Tristan Forge: 5♦4♦All in
Adrien Lacabe: A♠K♣

Forge needed help, but he had plenty of outs. However, it was a case of one too many, as the A♥ turn and 2♠ river gave Lacabe a full house.
