Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Rommel Santos opened to 4,800 and Rommel Santos moved all in right behind him for 11,200 total. When the action folded back around to him, Santos made the call to put Holcomb at risk.

David Holcomb: A♥8♦[alin]
Rommel Santos: 5♣5♥

Holcomb would need to improve to win this flip, but the runout of J♣6♣K♠Q♦Q♥ failed to do so and he was sent to the rail while Santos dragged the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a heads-up flop of 6♠7♥8♣, Scott Dobbins checked to his opponent, Ronald Ponferrada, who bet 6,500. Dobbins then tossed out a call and the two went to the turn 4♠.

Dobbins checked, Pnferrada fired for 17,000, and Dobbins replied by moving all in. Ponferrada quickly called to put himself at risk and flipped over A♠A♥, but quickly realized he was drawing stone dead once Dobbins flipped over 9♣10♠ for the nut straight.

The river 5♠ ironically put a straight on the board while the pot was pushed to Dobbins while Ponferrada headed to the exit.
