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

Ivan Emanuely opened 170,000 in middle position, leaving just 5,000 behind and Gabriel Shohet announced all-in from the small blind, forcing the big blind out of the pot and Emanuely made the call.

Ivan Emanuely: A♦6♣ All in
Gabriel Shohet: A♣K♦

Emanuely was dominated and as he saw the cards he let the masseuse know that the massage looks like it was coming to an end. The dealer fanned the flop of 9♣8♣6♦, giving him a pair of sixes to take the lead as he he said, "Maybe not."

The Q♦ turn looked promising for Emanuely but the K♥ river paired Shohet, sending him out of the tournament.

Casey Yontz opened the cutoff to 45,000 before Nathanael Kogel jammed for around 500,000 from the small blind. In the big blind, John Racener contemplated his decision for a while before he elected to fold, and Yontz quickly called.

Casey Yontz: J♥J♣

Kogel was in bad shape against the jacks of Yontz and it stayed that way on the K♥4♦5♦ flop. Kogel picked up an open-ender on the 3♠ turn but the K♣ completed the board as he was sent to rail.
