The {6-Diamonds} was added to the board on the turn and Medic checked again. Tehan raised his bet sizing this time to 6,200 and slid it across the betting line. Medic folded.

Boom! Triple Elimination for Al Janedi

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

From middle position, George Lind rasied to 700. Joe Ingram called and then action moved to Joe Serock on the button. He moved all in for 3,525. Sameer Al Janedi reraised all in from the small blind for about 50,000. Lind made the call for his 37,000 or so and Ingram also called for his approximate 14,000 to create a big four-way all-in situation.

Lind: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Ingram: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Serock: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Al Janedi: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The flop, turn and river ran out {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Al Janedi's kings held up to be the best hand. He had all three of his opponents covered and won the pot to move over 100,000 in chips. He also collected three $2,000 bounties on the hand and earned himself $6,000.

Mercier's Aces Cracked

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jason Mercier was all in preflop against Shannon Shorr over on the feature table. Shorr held the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, but was severely crushed by the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for Mercier.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} and kept Mercier way in front. The {K-Hearts} landed on the turn and gave Shorr a glimmer of hope going to the river.

The river completed the board with the {K-Clubs} and BAM! Shorr went runner-runner to crack Mercier's aces and double up. Mercier was left severely crippled while Shorr moved to over 60,000 in chips.
