David Salituro

A player in the hijack moved all in for 28,000 and Yaser Al-Keliddar called in the small blind. "Aces. Just kidding," Al-Keliddar said.

"Don't give me a heart attack," his opponent replied.

All-in player: K♣J♦ All in
Yaser Al-Keliddar: A♣9♣

"First two face cards I've seen in like three hours," the at-risk player said going to the flop, which came Q♣9♥3♥. The turn was the 7♣, while Al-Keliddar made a flush on the 6♣ river to send his opponent to the rail.

Roie Sheskin raised to 10,000 under the gun and was called by Christopher Chatman in the hijack, Lee Sommers on the button, and George Karmires in the big blind.

The flop came K♣10♦8♠ and action checked to Chatham who bet 20,000. Only Sheskin called.

Both players checked the 10♣ turn, and Sheskin led out for 60,000 on the 7♦ river. Chatman called and Sheskin showed A♣J♠ for ace-high, while Chatman had K♦Q♠ for a pair of kings to win the pot.

Kai Nicholls bet 11,000 under the gun on a flop of 3♥9♣10♥ and Kyle Dishongh, fully decked out in Dodgers gear and anxiously sweating out Game 7 on his phone, called in the big blind.

The river came the J♦ and Dishongh checked to Nicholls who bet 20,000. Dishongh called, and Nicholls showed A♠A♣ to win the pot.

Craig Delisle three-bet to 24,000 on the button before Chunyu Yang moved all in for 83,000 in middle position. Delisle snap-called.

Chunyu Yang: Q♣Q♠ All in
Craig Delisle: A♦A♠

Delisle had woken up with aces and was poised for a knockout as Yang stood helplessly by the table to await his fate. The 10♦5♥4♥J♦4♦ board offered no help, and he was sent to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Matthew Sabia was among the last to join before the close of late registration and got in his stack against Spencer Meads.

Matthew Sabia: 8♠8♣ All in
Spencer Meads: 10♠10♦

The 7♥Q♦6♥A♥K♦ board was no help to Sabia, and he quickly busted his new bullet.

At another table, Chris Pritchard had shoved for 50,000 on the button. "Alright, let's do it," Louis Bailey said as he called in the big blind.

Chris Pritchard: A♥9♠ All in
Louis Bailey: 10♦10♣

The A♦ fell right in the window to give Pritchard a pair, and it was followed by 3♣4♣8♥Q♥ to give him a double up.
