We caught up to see four players looking down at a flop of 
. Tyler Lee checked and the player to hit left bet out 6,700. Alex Sutherland replied by moving all in for his last 42,000 and Adam Levy moved all in over the top for even more. The other two players folded and the hands were tabled:
Levy: 
Sutherland:
Sutherland was looking for a diamond and found exactly that on the 
turn. The 
fell on the river just for good measure, and he was able to crack Levy's aces and score a double up. Sutherland now has about 96,000 while Levy has been crippled to 10,000.

Robert Cheung has recently been eliminated. He gave us the details after the hand.
The player on the button raised to 3,000 only to have the small blind ship all in. Cheung moved all in for his last roughly 20,000 from the big blind and the button thought for about two minutes before calling.
