Mark Rostron: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Leathem was at risk for his tournament, but the board {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} brought him no help and he made his way to the exit while Rostron was chipping up.

Miracle Triple Up for Alawadhi

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ali Alawadhi moved all-in for his last 67,000 from the under the gun position and Hassan Nashar made the call. It folded to Hassan Fares on the button who reshoved for 224,000. Nashar tanked for some time before eventually calling and the three players tabled their cards:

Hassan Nashar: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Hassan Fares, {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Alawadhi was in desperate shape to win the hand but the dealer revealed a board {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, giving him a pair of tens on the river and the triple up.
