A Knight With Queen's Armour

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Peter Beshay opened to 2,500 from the cutoff getting calls from Aman 'AJ' Singh on the button and Josh Knight in the big blind. A {6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop fanned out and with two checks in front of him, Singh bet 6,100. Knight check-shoved for about 20,000 getting rid of Beshay and Singh called having slightly less.

Josh Knight: {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Aman 'AJ' Singh: {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Knight improved to two pair, and Singh's Main Event run was over.

Kaemmerlen Scoops the Pot

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Aman 'AJ' Singh had both Jason Nablo and Peter Kaemmerlen all in and at risk preflop but was way behind his opponents.

Jason Nablo: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Peter Kaemmerlen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Aman 'AJ' Singh: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Nablo was the shortest stack, in for about 17,000, while Kaemmerlen had about 13,000 more. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Kaemmerlan scooped the entire pot sending Nablo to rail.
