Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Scott Downey was down to just a single big blind according to his table and has since recovered after a couple of double up. Downey was recently all in for 15,000 and Zhehao Jin reraised to 30,000, isolating the rest of the table.

Scott Downey: A♠K♠ All in
Zhehao Jin: 9♥9♦

The flop of A♣8♥4♠ gave Downey the lead with a pair of aces. The 6♣ on the turn and the K♦ on the river was a clean runout to push Downey over starting stack once again.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ablahad Salim raised it up in middle position and Mary Anne Madruga defended her big blind. The flop came A♦9♦2♥ and Madruga check-called a bet of 8,000 from Salim.

The turn was the J♠ and Madruga checked again. Salim shipped all in for 41,000 and Madruga gave it some thought before making the call. Salim tabled A♠K♥ for top pair while Madruga just had a flush draw with Q♦8♦.

The river was the 8♥ which was not enough for Madruga who was left with just a few big blinds and eliminated on the very next hand.

Michael Souza raised it up from under the gun and Nan Chen defended from the big blind. The flop came K♣10♣6♣ and the two players got all of their chips in the middle with Chan at risk for 37,500.

Nan Chen: Q♣7♣ All in
Michael Souza: 5♣3♣

Both players flopped a flush but it was Chen who had it all but locked up on the flop already. The Q♦ on the turn secured his double up as the 8♦ completed the board.
