Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Over at Table 3, Katrina Weaver got her stack of roughly 30,000 all in preflop and was flipping for her tournament life against Niroshan Loganathan.

Katrina Weaver: K♣Q♥ All in
Niroshan Loganathan: 6♥6♦

Weaver was the one in need of improvement and she got it when the Q♦A♣2♦ flop delivered her a pair of queens. Neither the 2♣ turn nor 8♣ river changed a thing and Weaver shipped the double.

Stan Jablonski: J♣10♣ All in
Jonathan Tamayo: A♠8♣

Jablonski had a nut flush against Tamayo's top two pair but missed the 5♠ turn and 4♥ river as the reigning world champion scored the knockout.

Hirschfeld Calls Off But Needs to Fade River

Chad Holloway

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

Ehsan Amiri raised to 3,000 from early position and Tyler Hirschfeld three-bet to 7,500 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Amiri, who called to see a flop of 8♥6♦J♣.

Amiri check-called a bet of 2,000 and the 3♥ appeared on the turn. Amiri then spiked in a stack big enough to put Hirschfeld all in, and indeed he quickly called off for 19,000.

Tyler Hirschfeld: J♠J♦ All in
Ehsan Amiri: A♥6♥

Hirschfeld had a set of jacks but Amiri had turned a flush draw. The 10♣ river was safe though and Hirschfeld doubled through Amiri.
