Aylar Lie opened 40,000 under the gun and both Derric Haynie in the cutoff and Noah Schwartz in the big blind made the call.

When the Q♠7♠2♦ flop hit the felt, both Schwartz and Lie checked to Haynie who fired 40,000 into the middle. That was enough to earn the pot as both players mucked their hands.

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

Jim Collopy raised to 40,000 in middle position and was called by Seth Davies on the button and Pavel Rasskazov in the big blind. The flop came A♥9♦3♦ and Collopy continued with a bet of 55,000. Davies called and Rasskazov jammed all in for 110,000. Collopy just called and Davies stepped aside.

Pavel Rasskazov: K♦9♣ All in
Jim Collopy: A♦J♥

Rasskazov found himself in a gnarly situation and the 7♦ on the turn made it worse, giving Collopy the better flush draw. However, the K♣ spiked the river and Rasskazov made two pair to double up.

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

Jason Mercier limped the small blind, Antoine Saout isolated to 60,000 from the big blind, and Mercier called.

On the K♣J♠4♦ flop, Mercier check-called a 55,000 bet from Saout.

The K♥ turn checked through to the 2♥ river, which saw Mercier lead for 40,000. Saout thought it over for around a minute before he flicked in the call. Mercier tabled A♣3♥ for just ace-high which was good as he scooped the pot.

Steve Desjarlais moved all in for 180,000 from the button and Abdelhakim Zoufri called in the big blind.

Steve Desjarlais: A♦K♦ All in
Abdelhakim Zoufri: 9♣9♦

Desjarlais remained behind going to the river as the board came 7♥8♥7♦6♦, but he caught the Q♦ on the river to make a flush as he let out a big fist pump and sat back in his seat to collect his double up.

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.

D'Alessandro led out with another 130,000 on the 6♦ river, but this time Saout raised to 575,000. D'Alessandro snap-called and Saout showed 6♣6♠ for a rivered full house. D'Alessandro flashed a queen as he mucked.

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.
