On the river, Alt jammed for 125,000 and Moreno snap-called. Alt tabled {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for top pair, top kicker, but was bested by the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} held by Moreno, who had flopped a set.

Holz Sends Day Into the Night

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Christopher Day raised it up to 30,000 from the cutoff and Fedor Holz three-bet shoved all in on the button with only shorter stacks left to act. Day quickly called off his stack of around 200,000 and the cards were tabled.

Christopher Day: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Fedor Holz: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The flop of {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} left Day in a great position to double up. However, the {5-Clubs} peeled off on the turn and Holz spiked a two-outer to grab the lead. The river was the {8-Clubs} and Day was sent home.
