Smith Doubles Right Back

Stephen Ma raised to 36,000 in the cutoff seat before James Smith three-bet shoved from the big blind. It was 97,000 total. Ma quickly called, and he was a favorite to earn the knockout.

Showdown
Ma: {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
Smith: {K-Spades} {4-Spades}

Smith found a king on the flop and another one on the turn, and the {8-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} board will allow him to stick around. He's doubled back to 218,000 with that pot, knocking Ma down under 600,000 in the process.

Moore Doubles Through Smith

Sean Moore limped into the pot from middle position and James Smith shoved behind him. The blinds released and action was back on Moore and he called for his tournament life after some short thought.

Smith: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Moore: {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}

The board ran {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and Moore's small stack doubled, leaving Smith crippled.

Niyati Drops Another Bit

Casey Cavanaugh came into the pot raising to 34,000, and Pej Niyati gave him some action from the small blind. The dealer spread out a heads-up {K-Spades} {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop. Niyati checked to the raiser, but he was thinking sinister thoughts. When Cavanaugh bet 40,000, Niyati clicked it back to 80,000 on a check-raise. Cavanaugh called.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and a leading bet from Niyati — 96,000. Cavanaugh didn't waste much time calling that bet either, and the river {2-Clubs} filled out the board. Now it went check-check.

Niyati tabled his {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} first, and Cavanaugh waited to see it before showing down his superior {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} to take the pot.
