Action folded to the player on the button who moved all in, and was called by Michael Johns in the big blind.
Button: 10♠10♣
Michael Johns: J♠10♦
Johns was in rough shape, with only having one over card to the button's pocket tens. But when the board ran out 2♦7♣9♠8♥3♦ Johns turned a straight to take the pot and eliminate his opponent.
Action was picked up with a player all in for his stack of 86,000, with Wesley Jones putting him at risk.

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 14,000 in the pot and the board showing 10♦10♥5♥.
The player in the big blind bet all in for her stack of 14,500. The player in the cutoff folded, and Jacob Foley quickly made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Big Blind: Q♠10♠
Jacob Foley: A♥8♥
The big blind flopped trips but would need to fade Foley's flush draw. The 6♣ on the turn was safe, but the 9♥ on the river gave Foley the flush and the pot, while knocking out his opponent.
Action was picked up with Logan Langley all in for 23,100, and Stephen Joseph putting him at risk.
Logan Langley: A♦J♦
Stephen Joseph: 10♠10♥
It was a flip with Langley needing to improve, but after the Q♦7♠10♣ flop, he was left with just a Broadway draw as outs after Joseph flopped a set. But the 2♦ on the turn gave him additional outs in the form of a flush draw, which came right in once the 4♦ hit on the river, giving him the nut flush to secure the double up.
Level: 8
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
Papa Karn opened the action from early position with a raise to 2,000, which was called by the small blind, and Jacob Foley in the big blind.
All three players checked the A♦3♠5♣ flop, which brought the 5♠ on the turn. The small blind then bet out 2,200, before Foley raised to 6,000. Karn quickly folded, and the small blind gave it some thought, before mucking his hand and giving the pot to Foley.
A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 2,200, which was called by Joshua Brower in the hijack, and the big blind.
All three players checked the K♣9♥Q♠ flop, which brought the 4♥ on the turn. The big blind checked to the middle position player who bet out 3,000, which was called by Brower, and the big blind folded.
After the 5♠ on the river, the middle position player check-called a bet of 6,000 from Brower, who tabled K♦J♦ to take the pot, as his opponent quickly mucked.
