The flop came K♥8♦7♥ and Soverel check-raised all in over Zamani's bet of 80,000. Zamani, who had about 150,000 behind, tossed his cards into the muck. Soverel showed Q♥J♥.

The next hand, Alejandro Lococo got it all in preflop with pocket queens against David Coleman's pocket fives. Lococo's hand held, earning him the double up.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Martin Raus from under the gun, raised all-in for his stack of 64,000. Action folded to Brian Altman in the small blind, who made the call. After the big blind folded, the two were heads-up with Raus at risk. Before the cards were revealed, Raus joked, "I'm living and dying with this hand."

Martin Raus: 9♠9♥ All in
Brian Altman: A♠J♥

Raus had been short-stacked after losing two flips with pocket nines earlier in the level, and he needed to hold this time to avoid being the bubble boy. However, after the board ran out 2♣5♦J♦Q♠3♠, Altman improved to a pair of jacks, eliminating Raus and bursting the bubble.

Tyler Boyer

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Martin Raus raised to 19,000 from early position, and it folded to Wagner Wysotchanski in the small blind who three-bet all in for 66,000. Once the big blind folded Raus made the call to put Wysotchanski at risk.

Wagner Wysotchanski: A♥K♠ All in
Martin Raus: 9♥9♣

It was a flip with Wysotchanski at risk, and the J♥10♠7♣ flop brought extra outs for Wysotchanski. The 6♥ on the turn was no help, but the A♦ on the river gave Wysotchanski the best hand with his pair of aces, to secure the double up.
