Big Stacks and Bustouts

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Defending champion John Thomson, Aaron Li and Shivan Abdine were among those to bust. The new big stacks are Majid Saab and Charlie Hawes, with the former just winning a small pot on the river of a board {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Facing a bet of 3,000, Saab raised to 14,000 and his opponent tank-folded to get shown {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for the nut flush.
