After a preflop shove-fest, four players found themselves all in, with Pablo Valdivieso covering.

Player 1: {q-}{j-}
Player 2: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Steven Snyder: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Pablo Valdivieso: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Although Valdivieso was in the lead with his king-queen, the flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} quickly changed that as it gave Snyder a flush and left his opponents drawing stone dead. The board completed with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} to secure his victory as two players were sent to the rail and Valdivieso was left short.

Tran Sees Triple, Makes Double

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jaime Tran was in the big blind when made it 7,500 to go preflop and was called by Guillaume "Frenchie" Starek in early position and the small blind.

The flop came out {6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and the small blind checked to Montes, who continued for 7,000 and only Starek made the call.

On the turn {10-Spades}, Montes moved all in for around 28,000 and Starek went into the tank.

After a good minute in though, he set his calling chips across the line and the cards were tabled, with Montes at risk.

Jaime Tran: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Guillaume Starek: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Tran was a big favorite going to the river, but he still needed to dodge a jack that would give Starek a straight. Fortunately for him the river was a brick {8-Hearts} and he was awarded the big pot for a double-up.

Karanam Triples with Kings

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a three-way turn of {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Sudharshan Karanam moved all in for a little over 15,000 and was called by Dustin Holladay on the button, but then Shane Scorza moved all in for a total of 43,600.

This put the pressure back on Hollaway, who went deep into the tank for almost 3 minutes.

He finally decided to fold, showing {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for an over and combo draw while the other players tabled their cards.

Sudharshan Karanam: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Shane Scorza: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Karanam was well ahead with his pocket kings, as he just needed to dodge a queen to win the hand. The river was kind to him as it came a brick {7-Hearts} to secure his victory for a triple-up.
