Randy Needens

The hijack opened to 1,100 and saw Dapo Ajayi three-bet on the button to 4,000. Randy Needens then cold-four bet jammed for above starting stack and saw the hijack call all in. Ajayi then called both shoves with a covering stack.

Hijack: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Randy Needens: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Dapo Ajayi: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Needens' aces stayed on top through a nine-high runout of {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} to score him both pots, the knockout, and more than a double.

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Joel Verbeck
Joel Verbeck

Under the gun opened to 1,000 and the cutoff re-jammed for 7,200 before Joel Verbeck cold four-bet shoved for just under 30,000 in the small blind, forcing the original raiser out of the hand.

All-In Player: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Joel Verbeck: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The two were off to the races but a four in the window of the flop {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} left the all-in player in need of running cards to stay alive.

"Oh," said the player with a laugh upon seeing Verbeck's flopped set. The turn came {5-Hearts}. "Eight?" requested the player, but instead hte river fell {a-Diamonds} to leave Verbeck's set best and eliminate the player from the tournament.

Dapo Ajayi: {q-}{q-}

The highest card that came on the runout was a six, earning Ajayi the pot and the knockout with queens up as a result.
