: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Craig Welko moved all in for 40,000 from the cutoff and Walter Bravo called under the gun.
Craig Welko: A♥K♠
Walter Bravo: A♠Q♦
Both players hit top pair on the 8♥3♣A♣ flop, while Welko remained in the lead with his king-kicker. The board ran out 5♣3♦, and Welko doubled up.
Bravo was left short-stacked after that hand and was eliminated shortly after.
At another table, a player in the big blind moved all in for 40,000, and Kevin Hammer snap-called in early position.
All-In Player: 9♠9♦
Kevin Hammer: Q♣Q♦
Hammer had his opponent dominated, and the 5♥3♠K♦J♥3♦ board earned him the knockout.
