Jacques Kalifa
Jacques Kalifa

Jacques Kalifa: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Kevin Houghton: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Kalifa moved into the lead following a dream flop of the {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Kalifa just had one immediate out and he was unable to hit after the {3-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river.

Bedy was deep into the tank for over four minutes and looked tortured before relinquishing his hand. He pleaded for Wayne to show one card which she refused.

There was a huge commotion on table 12, with the entire table on their feet with their phones out. There was a huge preflop three-way all-in between Giovanni Palma (hijack - 50,000) Noah Gorosh (cutoff - 41,700) and Nico Jarnstrom (button - 71,000).

Noah Gorosh: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Giovanni Palma: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Nico Jarnstrom: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Gorosh would find a triple up, while Palma held to stay alive for the smaller side pot following the {q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} runout.

Just a few moments later, Palma would head towards the exit following his elimination.

Karl Skolin opened to 2,100 from early position. Robert Lim jammed for 16,600 on Skolin's immediate left. Action folded back to the preflop raiser and he called.

"Just my luck," exhaled Lim but he was soon jumping for joy after he outflopped the pocket kings on the {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{9-Spades} runout.

On the opposite table, Miro Kaarna couldn't replicate Lim's performance and headed out of the door.
