Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jeremy Becker was just seen raking in a pot after scoring a big double up through RJ Sullivan on his right. Becker held two black aces and Sullivan's cards were already in the muck on a queen-high board.

"It's the table that just keeps on giving to you," Drake Kemper said to Becker.

"What do you mean? I just lost a huge flip," Becker replied. "But I didn't give up. I didn't quit. I didn't moan."

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Darren Elias raised to 25,000 in the cutoff and John Hennigan three-bet to 62,000 on the button. Cary Katz four-bet shoved all in for 110,000 in the small blind which got Elias to fold but Hennigan quickly called.

Cary Katz: A♣Q♥ All in
John Hennigan: A♠A♦

The flop came J♦10♠6♥ and Katz pointed out that he picked up four outs with a straight draw. The 3♣ on the turn and the 8♥ on the river did not help him as Hennigan was awarded the pot.

"I tried to manifest it," Katz said. "I manifested my exit. Someone eat my steak when it comes."
