Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Walt Lustgraaf opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Thomas Houston called in the small blind. In the big blind, Nick Hall three-bet to 210,000. Lustgraaf deliberated for a moment and he folded before Houston snap-jammed for 420,000 total and Hall called.

Thomas Houston: A♠K♣ All in
Nick Hall: A♦A♣

It was a cooler scenario with Hall having the best of it. Nothing changed on the Q♣5♥4♠3♣7♥ runout as Houston hit the rail in brutal fashion.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jordan Nelle opened the cutoff and was called by Eric Kyle in the small blind.

On the 9♠7♣5♠ flop, Nelle continued for 17,000 before Kyle check-raised to 50,000 and Nelle called.

Kyle fired again for 77,000 on the 7♦ turn. Nelle raised to 200,000, and Kyle immediately jammed for 650,000 effective as the covering stack, and Nelle quickly called.

Jordan Nelle: K♠7♠ All in
Eric Kyle: 5♥5♣

It was a brutal cooler as Kyle made a boat on the turn against the trips and flush draw of Nelle. The 8♠ river changed nothing and Nelle collected the largest pot of the tournament this far.
