Zimmerman Runs Into Kravets' Aces

Daniel Iachan raised to 12,000 in early position and Boris Kravets called in the hijack, and did Torsten Boker on the button. Diane Zimmerman then three-bet to 48,000 in the small blind and Kravets moved all in. The rest of the table got out of the way, while Zimmerman called for 220,000.

Diane Zimmerman: A♥Q♣ All in
Boris Kravets: A♦A♣

Kravets had woken up with aces to leave Zimmerman at serious risk of elimination, and she got no help on the J♠6♠9♣5♦5♣ board and was sent to the rail.

At another table, Brandon Mueller was all in for 99,500 on the button and up against Michael Bohmerwald in the small blind.

Brandon Mueller: Q♥Q♠ All in
Michael Bohmerwald: A♦K♣

It was a classic race, and Mueller stayed in the lead with his queens on the 2♥2♠J♦6♦9♠ board to earn the double up.
