Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Seth Davies came into the day as one of the short stacks and moved all in for 360,000 in middle position. Matas Cimbolas called from the hijack and Alex Lynskey three-bet to 1,100,000 on the button. Cimbolas got out of the way and then provided commentary on the showdown.

Seth Davies: A♠10♥ All in
Alex Lynskey: A♣Q♠

The flop came Q♣J♠7♠ and Davies' outs turned from three to four as Cimbolas would say. The 10♠ on the turn and the 8♥ on the river were not enough for Davies who was eliminated.

"Enjoy the pool," Cimbolas commented. "It's a nice day out there."
