Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Danny Tang slammed in his last 62,000 from under the gun as action folded to Sergio Aido on the button.

"King-queen suited?" Tang asked him as Aido called. The blinds got out of the way.

Danny Tang: A♠5♠ All in
Sergio Aido: Q♥J♥

"Oh no," Tang said as the flop came J♦10♣8♠ to give Aido the lead with a pair of jacks. The J♣ fell on the turn to give Aido trips.

"I'm dead," Tang said as the K♥ completed the board to send him to the rail.

At another table, Scott Seiver was all in for 80,000 and up against Eric Wasserson.

Scott Seiver: 4♦4♣ All in
Eric Wasserson: 7♦7♠

"I thought I had sixes," Seiver said as the flop came K♣10♠6♣. The 7♥ fell on the turn to give Wasserson a set and Seiver was already drawing dead by the 6♥ river and on his way to the exit.

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between Taylor von Kriegenbergh from middle position and Alisson Piekazewicz from the big blind with around 75,000 in the middle.

With the board reading A♦Q♠5♠J♣, Piekazewicz check-called a bet of 35,000 from Von Kriegenbergh.

On the 4♦ river, Von Kreigenbergh jammed for 55,000 effective as the covering stack. Piekazewicz thought about it before electing to fold. Von Kreigenbergh tabled Q♣J♦ for two pair to show his opponent he made the right fold.

"I'm showing every hand this tournament. I want to be nice," explained Von Kreigenbergh.

He continued, "Maybe we will be friends someday."

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jason Koon opened from under the gun and Rania Nasreddine called next to act.

On the 9♥8♣5♠ flop, Koon checked to Nasreddine who bet 16,000 before Koon raised to 50,000 and Nasreddine called.

The turn was the 8♠. Koon bet 128,000 with just 1,000 back and Nasreddine called.

The 5♥ river checked through. Koon revealed Q♠Q♣ which were good on a dangerous board to virtually double up.
