Sean Bloom: Q♥10♥ All in
Nic Ioannoy: 10♣10♠

The K♠ turn was a sudden sweat but the 4♣ river ensured Bloom's double for 40,700.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jedd Kossew raised to 3,500 and Nic Ioannoy called. Elai Mazor then three-bet to 14,500 on the button only for Kossew and Ioannoy to move all-in. Mazor asked for the stack size of Ioannoy's bigger shove, which happened to be for 53,300, and Mazor then called.

Jedd Kossew: J♦J♥ All in
Nic Ioannoy: 10♦8♥ All in
Elai Mazor: A♣Q♣

"I like your hand ... I gonna need one of them," Ioannoy told Kossew.

The Q♠6♣2♠ flop vaulted Mazor into the lead, which he retained throughout the 10♣ turn and 2♥ river to knock out two players.

"You told me you were gonna get me," Ioannoy told Mazor, who nodded while raking in the chips.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a flop showing J♣9♠7♣, it checked to Jehan Richards who bet 5,000. Vishal Ghoorbin called before Greg Tucker jammed a shorter stack of around 28,000. Richards also moved all-in and Ghoorbin eventually called.

Greg Tucker: K♦9♥ All in
Jehan Richards: Q♦J♥ All in
Vishal Ghoorbin: 4♣2♣

"Give me spades!" Ghoorbin demanded and Richards instantly replied "yeah, give him spades" because Ghoorbin actually had the club flush draw. The 5♥ turn and 4♥ river were blanks and Tucker was eliminated, Ghoorbin only then noticed how silly his request had been.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ahmed Karrim had re-entered not long ago and was moved over to table nine. He had already more than doubled and then won another big pot when challenging lady luck to some degree. Having turned top pair with the Q♥10♥, he was up against A♣Q♣ on 4♣3♠2♣Q♠ and spiked the 10♦ on the river.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Merwan Corront took a flip for his last 41,400 right before the end of the level and he was up against Warren Zackey to create the following showdown.

Merwan Corront: 4♣4♥ All in
Warren Zackey: A♦Q♦

It became a mighty sweat on the 8♦6♠2♦ flop but Corront held up on the 3♠ turn as well as J♠ river.

"How do you miss there?" a stunned Zackey sighed.

One table over, Tutu Russon three-bet jammed a shorter stack out of the blinds and Menesh Keshav called in middle position.

Tutu Russon: K♣Q♥ All in
Menesh Keshav: A♥8♥

The ace stayed ahead on the A♠J♣5♥2♦8♦ board and Russon hit the rail.

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

Two players limped in including Jehan Richards and Teren Ramnundlall then squeezed to 12,000 in the big blind. Only Richards called and the flop came 8♦7♥5♦. Ramnundlall continued for 20,000, which did the trick to win the pot without any further resistance.
