Kitauchi: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Kitauchi found a great flop as {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} hit the felt, but the {9-Diamonds} limited his outs a bit on the turn. The river was a {4-Diamonds}, and Zachowicz scored the knockout.

Lai Shoves the Turn

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player limped under the gun and Aki Virtanen made it 1,200 to go. Kwok Chun Lai called on his left, and the limper made it three to an {8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop. With two checks in front of him, Lai bet 2,200. Only the limper called. The turn was an {a-Spades} and Lai shoved all in for about 14,000, over the size of the pot. That was enough to convince his opponent to fold.

He was all in for about 13,000 effective against a player on the button, who thought things over for about a minute and then dropped in his stack.

Ko turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. His opponent mucked, but per tournament rules, the dealer turned over {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} as he walked away.
