Frankie Zeta: 10♥10♦ All in
Charles Furey: A♦Q♦

It was a fair fight, but Furey pulled ahead on the 5♣2♠Q♠ flop, pairing his queen. The A♠ turn and K♦ river offered no help to Zeta and he was sent to the payout desk.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action went heads-up to a flop of J♥Q♠5♣ in a hand between Melanie Hennigan on the button and Torsten Boker in the big blind.

Boker check-raised all in for 1,950,000 over Hennigan's bet of 350,000 to put himself at risk. Hennigan thought for a brief moment before making the call.

Torsten Boker: Q♦9♣ All in
Melanie Hennigan: A♣Q♣

The K♥ turn and 2♣ river offered no help to Boker and his impressive tournament run came to an end.
