Priyank Shah opened to 3,000 from early position and faced an all-in re-raise from Noel Rodriguez for 10,000 from the next seat over. It folded to Zachary Bergerin, who called the 10,000. Shah also called to keep the pot three-handed with Rodriguez all-in and at risk.

Shah and Bergerin checked down on the Q♦5♥K♣5♣3♥ board.

It was a bonanza of pocket pairs as Rodriguez showed 7♣7♥, Shah tabled 8♦8♥, but it was Bergerin with the best of it as he revealed 9♣9♥ to take down the pot and eliminate Rodriguez.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Forrest Kollar began the hand with a raise to 2,500 from under the gun. Allan Fernando went all-in for his final 24,400 from middle position. Kollar called to put Fernando at risk for his tournament life.

Allan Fernando: J♣J♦ All in
Forrest Kollar: A♦Q♠

Kollar pulled ahead on the 9♣10♠Q♣ flop, but Fernando still had outs with a straight draw as well as outs to a set.

The 9♥ was disheartening for Fernando as he was one card from elimination, but the K♥ on the river gave Fernando the straight and new life in the game as he secured the double against Kollar.
