Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Lee Sommers open-shoved under the gun for 59,000 to put himself at risk, and was called by Phillip Mcclain in the cutoff.

Lee Sommers: A♣7♣ All in
Phillip Mcclain: 2♠2♦

Sommers picked up a plethora of outs on the K♣Q♣10♦ flop, and even more on the 10♠ turn. However, Mcclain's hand managed to hold, as the 6♥ rolled off on the river.

"How do I miss?" asked Sommers as he stood up to snap a photo of the runout before exiting the tournament area.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Marshall Tarzy raised to 16,000 in the hijack, Roy Kim flatted in the small blind, and the player in the big blind defended.

The dealer put out a monotone flop of 9♦J♦Q♦ and it checked to Tarzy, who moved all in for 125,000 to put himself at risk. Kim called and the big blind got out of the way.

Marshall Tarzy: Q♠J♣ All in
Roy Kim: 8♦4♦

Tarzy's top two was in rough shape against Kim's flopped flush, but he still had outs with a queen or a jack.

The 3♦ turn was a brick, but Tarzy hit a queen on the Q♥ river to fill up and stay alive.
