"Somebody Call An Ambulance"

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

Eric Douglas moved all in for 15,000 from middle position which saw Brett Slezak move all in for 36,500 from late position and Charles Aron called on the button while all subsequent action folded.

"Somebody call an ambulance," Slezak said with a smile on his face as he turned over his cards "but not for me."

Eric Douglas: Q♥5♥
Brett Slezak: K♥K♠
Charles Aron: A♦J♣

The board ran out 10♣9♦5♦J♦10♦ and the script was flipped as Slezak's kings were cracked by Aron's rivered flush. Aron raked in the pot at the expense of Slezak and Douglas who wished their opponent's well as they exited the tournament.

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

A player in middle position called and action folded to Mo Nuwwarah in the big blind who checked his option.

The flop came out K♥7♣3♣ and Nuwwarah bet 3,000 which his opponent called.

Nuwwarah bet a second time on the Q♣ turn, this time to the tune of 12,000 and his opponent called once more.

On the J♦ river, Nuwwarah bet again and sized up to 27,000 which saw his opponent ponder his decision while counting out the chips before tossing his hand into the muck.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ben Ludlow raised to 5,000 from middle position and a player in the cutoff and another player in the small blind came along.

The flop of 10♥5♦9♣ rolled out where the small blind led out for 15,000 and Ludlow clicked it to 30,000. The cutoff folded which prompted the small blind to move all in for 49,500 and Ludlow called.

Opponent: 7♠5♠
Ben Ludlow: A♥10♦

The board ran out 4♠J♠ and the ace-ten held up for Ludlow to add to his growing stack.
