"Brother Justin" Goes Runner Runner for Knockout

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

"MilotheCat01" moved all in for 61,000 and change from under the gun, and "Brother Justin" made the call with {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. They were in bad shape against the pocket eights of "MilotheCat01", and the hand looked all but over after the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. However, the {9-Diamonds} turn gave "Brother Justin" a glimmer of hope, and that glimmer shined through on the {6-Spades} river to give "Brother Justin" an unlikely knockout.

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Vince "FuglyFunGuy" Lestingi raised to 20,000 in middle position, and "161joe161" called in the big blind. The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}, and "161joe161" check called a bet of 30,000. Both players would check the {3-Clubs} turn, and the river brought the {7-Diamonds}.

"161joe161" checked a third time, and Lestingi went for a big bet of 80,000. This was for most of "161joe161"'s stack, and they called with {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for top pair. Lestingi showed ace high, and a nice pot was sent over to "161joe161."

"monsta_banks9" Scores a Double Up

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

"monsta_banks9" open shoved all in for 78,000, and big stack "Schnauzer17972" shoved all in over the top to isolate. "Schnauzer17972" showed {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}, and they had two live cards against the {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades} held by "monsta_banks9."

The flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} missed both players, and the {a-Clubs} turn meant that only a queen would work for "Schnauzer17972" now. However, the {8-Clubs} came instead, and "monsta_banks9" secured the double up.

Aces vs. Kings for Lestingi

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

After an early raise to 12,000 and a call, "yahtzeeb0Y" reraised to 28,850 in the small blind. From the big blind, Vince "FuglyFunGuy" Lestingi would put in a four bet to 90,000 even.

Everyone else folded, but "yahtzeeb0Y" went for it all, moving all in for 220,000. Lestingi quickly called with {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and they had "yahtzeeb0Y" in a world of hurt with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. The board came down {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and the aces held to push Lestingi towards the top of the counts, with nearly 500,000 in chips now.

Lestingi Hits River to Double

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Vince "FuglyFunGuy" Lestingi open shoved all in from under the gun for his final 88,000 and change, and massive stack "LeComedien83" called to put him at risk with pocket jacks. Lestingi showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

The flop of {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} completely whiffed for Lestingi, as did the {3-Diamonds} turn. However, the {k-Spades} came on the river to send a huge pot over to Lestingi.

"PIT_Canuck" Wins Flip to Double

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

"Badbeat2315" kicked off the action with a raise to 11,500, and after a mid position caller, "PIT_Canuck" would three bet shove for just under 73,000. "Badbeat2315" called with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and they were flipping against the {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} of "PIT_Canuck."

The flop of {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} gave "PIT_Canuck" the lead, but also gave "Badbeat2315" a straight draw. A king on the turn gave "PIT_Canuck" two pair, and the river changed nothing further.
