On a flop of 4♣5♥K♦, Jeremy Lohrmeyer shoved all in and was snap-called by big stack Stacy Bush.
Lohrmeyer proudly turned over A♠K♥ for top-top but was then shown the goods of K♣K♠ by Bush for top set.
"Deuce!" Lohrmyer shouted as the turn came the 5♦ to give him a gutshot straight draw.
And just like that, the river came the 2♦ to give Lohrmeyer a straight to keep him alive with a huge double-up.
"Well played, sir," was all Bush said as he tapped the table while Lohrmeyer stacked up his new chips.

Eric Shepherd opened to 12,000 preflop but then Kyle Anderson moved all in, covering him.
Shepherd then went into the tank for around 30 seconds before he shrugged and made the call for his tournament life.
Eric Shepherd: A♥J♥
Kyle Anderson: K♥10♣
Anderson needed some help to catch up to Anderson's ace-high, but the board of 9♦3♥2♥5♣A♠ gave Shepherd the win with his pair of aces.
Shepherd's stack is now sitting at 100,000 while Anderson is left with around 20,000.

Coverage has resumed for the final flight of the RGPS Kansas City $1,100 Main Event with 36 players remaining of 157 total entries.
With the elimination of Carolina Terrazas, play for this flight has stopped with 6:24 left in level 14 as the remaining 22 players have now begun the bagging process.
There will be a short break in the coverage before it gets picked back up for the latter part of Flight C, so stay tuned!
On a heads-up flop of 6♦9♥2♥, Carolina Terrazas led out for 45,000 but then big stack Joseph McCaig moved all in to cover her.
Terrazas went deep into the tank, and after a good while she finally announced a call and tossed out a chip, putting herself at risk.
Carolina Terrazas: 10♣10♠
Joseph McCaig: 9♠9♣
The table let out a collective groan when they saw Terrazas was up against top set and had only two outs to hit. The runout could not do it for her as it came A♣2♦ to award McCaig the pot and she was eliminated on the stone bubble.

The field is now down to 23 players, and with 22 bagging, they are now on the money/bag bubble and hand-for-hand play is now in effect.
On a heads-up turn board of 5♦A♥5♥2♠, Tyson Langley checked to Matt Riffel who moved all in for 38,000 into the pot of around 60,000.
After some thought, Langley made the call to put Riffel at risk and the cards were tabled.
Matt Riffel: A♠Q♠
Tyson Langley: A♣J♠
Riffel was ahead with his queen kicker, and the river Q♦ only further solidified his victory and he was awarded the substantial pot.

Nick Burris and Casey Henry got all of the money in the middle before the flop, with Burris at risk.
Nick Burris: A♣J♣
Casey Henry: 9♠9♣
The board ran out 4♦4♥2♦2♠2♣ to give each player a full house, but Henry's boat was bigger as he had nines full of deuces versus Burris who was playing the board. Henry was awarded the pot while Nick "Big Deal" Burris was sent to the rail just a few spots off of the money.
