: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After reaching the final table at the Hippodrome leg of the tour recently, Justin Bateson knows what it is like to come close to winning a Platinum Pass.
Things are looking a lot more promising after he moved all in over one player, only to get called by another and win the three-way showdown. Bateson had king-jack against pocket eights and jack-ten and when the flop came with a jack and a ten, it was looking like big trouble for Bateson, until he was saved by a king on the river.

Rungarun Thononsung opened the hijack to 40,000 and one player moved all in for 149,000 on the button. The player in the small blind went all in over the top and after tanking, Thongnonsung made the call.
Rungarun Thongnonsung: 
Opponent one: 
Opponent two: 
The shortest stack had pocket-sixes and Thongnonsung was at risk with ace-queen to pocket-kings. The flop came 
, which was no help to her but the 
turn was exactly what she was looking for and she celebrated with a "Yes!" The 
completed the board and she is flying with around 300,000 more than the average now.

Feature Table: Victor Nitel opened to 42,000 in early position with 
and Chris Moneymaker was the only player to come along, calling from the small blind with 
.
The board came a dry 
and it went check-check. The 
turn gave Moneymaker a full house and he elected to check, with Nitel checking it back. Moneymaker went for a third check on the 
river and Nitel didn't take the bait checking it back. "I think you lost the min and I won the max" said Moneymaker once the hand had played out.

Christina Ilie opened the action to 32,000 and a player moved all in for 59,000. Martin Ferreira flat called behind and when the action came back to Ilie, she did the same.
On the flop, Ilie checked to Ferreira who bet 42,000 and it was enough to convince Ilie to fold. It was the right choice as Ferreira turned over two pair with 
and his opponent was in big trouble with a gutshot or running outs only with 
in the hole.
The 
turn, gave him a little hope but the river locked it up for Ferreira.
