Break Time

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

Action will continue until the final 12 players are left to bag up for the night.

Table 12 Chaos Sees Nia Out

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

John Fagg's stack of 60,000 was all in on the 109Q flop, with Saeed Nia also all in for around 18,000 more. Richard Pearl covered both opponents, and the hands were turned up.

John Fagg: QJ All in
Saeed Nia: 1010 All in
Richard Pearl: KK

Nia was in the lead after flopping a set of tens, and the 7 turn did nothing to change that. The dealer completed the board with the K river, seeing Pearl spike a better set while Fagg made a straight.

That left Fagg surviving with a triple-up, while Pearl took the side pot to knock Nia out. Pearl's remaining short stack did not last long, as the remaining players broke to two tables.

Matthew Smith

Jonathan Snyder moved all in from under the gun for 27,500, and Kraig Krueger tossed in a calling chip holding slightly more in his stack. Matthew Smith then announced all in from the cutoff, and Krueger called of his remaining chips.

Jonathan Snyder: A6 All in
Kraig Krueger: K10 All in
Matthew Smith: QQ

Smith turned over the only pocket pair, and improved to a set on the 1075Q9 board. That sent both Snyder and Krueger to the rail, as Smith collected both pots.
