Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Matthew Klapstein raised from early position and called when Rodrigo Seiji made it 65,000 from the next seat over.

Klapstein called bets of 37,000 and 175,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 3♣3♠2♠8♠J♥. Klapstein snap-called for his last 353,000 after Seiji jammed for 387,000.

Klapstein had 2♣2♥ for a flopped boat, leaving Seiji on fumes, who tabled A♦J♣.

Two hands later, Seiji put in his last 34,000 from under the gun and was looked up by Yoon Choi, who called from the cutoff.

Rodrigo Seiji: K♥6♣ All in
Yoon Choi: A♥10♦

Seiji was sent to the reentry desk after failing to connect on the 9♠7♠2♦8♣7♦ runout.

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Morris Kadylo opened to 16,000 from under the gun, finding a call from Joe Hachem in the hijack. Robert Cowen came along in the big blind, and checked the 3♣A♥K♠ flop.

Kadylo moved all in, producing folds from Hachem and Cowen.

"Show one?," asked Hachem, and Kadylo left the cards in the middle for Cowen to select. Cowen turned over the 10♥, and Kadylo collected the pot.
