Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After a few rounds of all in and calls that resulted in double ups, Alex Todd raised from under the gun and Ricky Murphy three-bet to 35,000 from the button. Todd moved all in for 88,000 and Murphy called. The action was frozen until the TD announced the hand and players flipped their cards.

Alex Todd: K♥K♣ All in
Ricky Murphy: A♣A♦

In a brutal bubble cooler, Todd had run his pocket kings into aces. The flop came 10♠A♠4♠ to improve Murphy's hand to a set of aces. Todd was drawing extremely slim as the 9♦ turn and 3♦ river ended his tournament chances. He was eliminated on the stone bubble as Murphy dragged in the pot.

Daniel Walsh open-raised from the hijack and Javier Saez Hernandez was all in for 13,000. Players flipped their cards, with Hernandez at risk on the bubble.

Javier Saez Hernandez: K♥K♣ All in
Daniel Walsh: 4♠2♠

The room laughed as the cards were revealed, as Walsh was drawing super slim until the A♠9♠K♦ brought a sweat in the form of a flush draw. Hernandez, meanwhile, made a set of kings. The turn came the 9♦ and river the 3♦, so Hernandez held to double his short stack.
