Dessert for Two

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Paul Coyle open-jammed for 105,000 in middle position. Anton Herrmann isolated by making it 310,000 in the small blind, which was enough to force a heads up showdown.

Paul Coyle: QJ All in
Anton Herrmann: KQ

Both players flopped a pair on KJ7, but Herrmann's top pair remained ahead on the 45 runout to knock his opponent out.

Over at another table, John Dwyer made a pot-sized shove for about 450,000 on the 10548 turn from the big blind and was quickly called by Francesco Gisolfi in the hijack.

John Dwyer: J10 All in
Francesco Gisolfi: 1010

Dwyer's pair was drawing dead against the set of Gisolfi, and he said his goodbyes as the meaninngless 9 rolled off on the river.

Porter Sees Aces Hold

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Luke Porter and Robert O'Neill had amassed a pot of 700,000 when Porter moved all in from the small blind on the 5JK9 turn. O'Neill weighed his options under the gun before deciding to call with the covering stack.

Luke Porter: AA All in
Robert O'Neill: KQ

The 6 river did not improve O'Neill's pair, meaning Porter's aces remained best to take the pot.

Savio Runs Into Kings

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Seeing a raise in the hijack ahead of him, Minh Duc Vu opted to call in the cutoff. When the action folded to Damir Savio in the big blind, he moved all in for roughly 350,000. The initial raiser folded, but Vu snap-called.

Damir Savio: AK All in
Minh Duc Vu: KK

The 6810 flop kept the standings as they were preflop before the K turn left Savio drawing dead.

As Savio readied himself to leave, the dealer completed the board with the inconsequential 10.

Kassouf Left Short After Flip

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

Erison Pata got his 200,000 remaining chips in from the hijack against Will Kassouf in middle position, who had him covered.

Erison Pata: 99 All in
Will Kassouf: AJ

"Any aces or jacks about?" Kassouf wondered out loud.

However, the deck had none in store for him when 748QQ ran out as the board, doubling up Pata and leaving Kassouf with less than 18 big blinds in his stack.

Vambeck and Laurila Hit the Rail

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Tero Laurila
Tero Laurila

When action was on Conal Vambeck in early position, he moved all in for 280,000. Robert Sherwood called a couple of seats to his left, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Conal Vambeck: 105 All in
Robert Sherwood: AK

It was big slick for Sherwood, up against a hand he wasn't expecting to see.

The JQ3 flop reduced Vambeck's immediate outs, seeing him require five.

The 3 turn card was unforthcoming, and the K river only served to improve Sherwood to top pair.

On a nearby table, former champion Tero Laurila said his goodbyes to his table, as his ace-jack fell to the ace-king of Mircea Stanescu, on a 10Q3J10 board.

Ciaran Cooney got his 755,000 chips in from the hijack against Gerard Harraghy in the cutoff, and was covered by just 10,000.

Ciaran Cooney: KK All in
Gerard Harraghy: AK

Cooney faded an ace on the 2Q85J runout, doubling up. Harraghy, meanwhile, was left with just one small blind to try and spin back up.
