Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sergiu Sirghi and Alex Keating engaged in a preflolp raising war which led to a pot of around 600,000 chips. The flop came 6♥5♥3♦ and Keating was first to act from the big blind and ripped all in. Sirghi called off his stack of around 720,000 and the cards were tabled.

Sergiu Sirghi: K♠K♥ All in
Alex Keating: A♥10♥

Sirghi was ahead with his pocket kings but Keating had some outs to hit. It came right away in the form of the 8♥ which left Sirghi drawing dead to the 6♣ on the river.

"Sorry," Keating apologized for the second time after getting lucky on someone this evening.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Corey Eyring came back from the break on fumes and picked up a hand in early position to shove his last 315,000 into the middle. It folded around to Marta Munoz in the small blind who asked for a count before making the call.

Corey Eyring: K♦J♦ All in
Marta Munoz: A♥J♥

Munoz was in a dominating position and the flop of 8♣7♦3♠ provided no help for Eyring. The 7♥ turn and 7♣ river changed nothing and Eyring was eliminated after posting on social media that he was fully staked by the great Alan Keating.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Eric Yanovsky raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Tetsuro Tomita moved all in for 560,000 on the button. "Ace-king again? F**k, this is gross," Yanovsky said as he went into the tank for a few minutes.

"I have king-queen suited. The solver says to call. Do you really want to go that badly?" Yanovsky added as Tomita jokingly tried to goad him into a call.

"Show me queen-jack one time," Yanovsky said as he slammed in the chips to call.

Tetsuro Tomita: A♣J♦ All in
Eric Yanovsky: K♥Q♥

The flop came 8♣6♣4♣ as Tomita picked up a flush draw. Yanovsky hit a pair on the Q♣ turn, but the same card gave Tomita the nut flush and secured his double up heading to the 7♦ river.

"I really wanted to fold, but I play too much online," Yanovsky said as he handed over the pot.

Bryn Kenney: K♠K♥ All in
Quan Zhou: A♦Q♠
