Both players checked to the river on the 5♦K♣6♦J♦J♥ runout, before Zaki bet his last 75,000, which Weissman called.

Zaki tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, and Weissman tossed 9♥9♦ into the muck to give Zaki the double up on the bubble.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Joey Weissman was the first to act, and raised to 45,000, which was called by the big blind Joao Simao.

The flop came 2♠2♣4♣ and Simao checked to Weissman, who bet out 20,000. Simao took some time, before raising all in for his stack of 260,000, which Weissman snap-called.

Joao Simao: 7♠7♣ All in
Joey Weissman: A♠A♦

When Weissman called Simao said "I guess I have two outs?" and Weissman confirmed by tabling his aces.

Simao then said "Why didn't I fold pre like I wanted to" before adding "come on SEVEN!".

The dealer obliged and instantly put out the 7♦ on the turn, and the 5♠ on the river to give Simao a double up on the stone bubble.

Joey Weissman	690,000 190,000	190,000

In a heads-up pot with the board showing J♥10♣9♦ Paul Roy bet out 200,000.

Brandon Wilson took some time before raising all in for Roy's stack of 565,000, which he called to put himself at risk.

Paul Roy: A♣K♠ All in
Brandon Wilson: 8♣7♠

Wilson flopped a straight, and Roy would need to find a queen to make a bigger straight. But the board ran out 3♠4♦ to give the pot to Wilson and eliminate Roy.
