Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to the small blind Jeremy Becker, who was titled after getting bluff by Justin Saliba the previous hand, and had to pay him $500 because they were playing the "eight-three" bounty game.

He said, "Whatever, send me home" and moved all in for roughly 450,000, which Chino Rheem in the big blind quickly called to put him at risk.

Jeremy Becker: 6♠6♣ All in
Chino Rheem: 10♥10♣

Becker ran into the bigger pocket pair and could not find help on the 4♦2♥9♦8♦8♣ to be sent to the rail in 11th place.

Action was picked up with a ton of chips in the middle, as Neil Warren was all in and Justin Saliba putting him at risk.

Neil Warren: Q♥Q♣ All in
Justin Saliba: K♠K♦

It was a huge cooler for Warren, who ran into the bigger pocket pair of Saliba, and was unable to find any help as the board ran out 2♦10♠A♦A♣J♣ to send another massive pot to Saliba, as Warren hit the exits.

Tyler Boyer

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

John Riordan opened from the cutoff with a raise to 60,000. It folded to Justin Saliba in the small blind who put in a three-bet to 205,000. It folded back to Riordan, who four-bet all in, which was snap-called by Saliba.

John Riordan: J♦J♣ All in
Justin Saliba: A♦2♦

Riordan was in a great spot to double, but the board ran 6♥A♠3♥5♥8♣ and Saliba paired his ace, making Riordan the bubble boy for back to back events at the PokerGo Studio.
