Abdellatif Busts Allain; Doubles Ramdin

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jonathan Abdellatif had just eliminated a player and proceeded to score the second knockout in a row, sending Adrien Allain to the rail. Abdellatif raised and was called by Shyam Srinivasan in the small blind, as well as Allain in the big blind. The {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop was checked to Abdellatif, who continued for 13,000. Srinivasan came along and called, then Allain check-shoved for what appeared to be 65,000.

Abdellatif called and that forced out Srinivasan.

Adrien Allain: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Jonathan Abdellatif: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The {A-Spades} turn and {J-Hearts} river failed to improve Allain and he was sent to the rail.

One hand later, Abdellatif raised to 11,000 and Victor Ramdin shoved from one seat over.

"What are you doing? I am slaying people right now. Can I have a count please?" Abdellatif inquired and the all in was counted to be for 62,500. The Belgian called and it was Ramdin at risk with the best of it.

Victor Ramdin: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Jonathan Abdellatif: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

On a board of {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, Ramdin made trips aces and locked up the double.

Magnus Runs Into Big Slick

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With a completed board already spread across the felt, Nadya Magnus was left heads-up versus Jared Palmer. The board read {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Palmer was the first to act, sliding in a bet of 43,500.

With well over 100,000 already in the pot, Magnus went into the tank for a couple of minutes before making the call. Palmer turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and Magnus flew her cards to the muck.

Linda Johnson
Linda Johnson

Yiannis Liperis opened for 10,000 in the cutoff and Linda Johnson jammed in the small blind for 114,500. Liperis took some time before dropping in a stack of chips to call.

"Not much," Johnson said, showing {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

She was in trouble against {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. She found an ace on the flop but {10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts} left her all but dead. The {3-Hearts} confirmed her demise on the turn.

Lybaert More Than Doubles

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andrea Benelli raised to 9,000 from under the gun and Darren Elias three-bet to 30,000 from the early position. Action folded to Bart Lybaert in the big blind who shoved for 187,000 in total. Benelli considered his options for a while and then decided to also shove with the bigger stack. Elias quickly got out of their way.

Bart Lybaert: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Darren Elias: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for Lybaert to hold with the aces to double up through the Platinum Pass winner.
