Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Greg Raymer moved all in preflop for around 65,000 and John Lammle made the call to put him at risk.

Greg Raymer: A♦Q♥
John Lammle: A♣K♣

Although Lammle had Raymer crushed with his superior holding, the flop of 4♠Q♣A♥ gave his opponent the lead with two pair. The turn 10♠ gave Lammle a few more outs as he picked up a gutshot straight draw but the A♠ on the river did not get it done as it further improved Raymer to a full house to award him the double-up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After an open to 4,500, Brian Frezel moved all in for 57,000 and the action was then on Grant Juric to his left.

"Well, I guess I call," he sighed as he set out his chips and action folded around to leave them heads up.

"I have tens," Juric announced as he flipped over 10♥10♠.

"Ok, I have ace-king," Frenzel replied as he tabled A♠K♦.

The board ran out 2♥2♠3♥7♠10♦ to give Juric a full house on the river and Frenzel was eliminated from this flight.
