Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bill Kontaratos was all in and at risk against Eric M.

Bill Kontaratos: A♦Q♥ All in
Eric M.: 8♠3♠

The flop hit the trey as it came 3♥4♠K♥ much to the dismay of Kontaratos who groaned when he saw the flop. The turn was the 5♠ and the river the 5♦ to bring an end to hand for hand and bringing everyone else into the money.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

All other hands were completed and all attention in the room was on one table on the bubble.

The flop showed 7♣J♦6♠. Sanford Tabin bet 65,000 from early position. Hantang Li moved all in to force Tabin to have to decide for his remaining stack of about 245,000 on the bubble. A crowd formed to watch the action as Tabin went into the tank.

After about three minutes Li said he would call the clock in a minute. Tabin checked his cards and then folded 7x6x flopped two pair face up. Li showed just the 9♠ as he raked in the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Only five eliminations away from the money, there was a huge hand brewing. Under the gun opened to 16,000. Hossein Cheraghi then three-bet from under the gun plus one to 32,000. Santiago Plante was in middle position and four-bet to 66,000.

Under the gun folded, Cheraghi shoved for 265,000 and Plante snap-called.

Hossein Cheraghi: A♣A♠ All in
Santiago Plante: A♦A♥

Plante had Cheraghi covered by about 40,000 but it seemed to be a chop formality as black bullets ran into red rockets. The flop came 7♦10♦8♠. The turn was the 8♦ to make for a sweat and the river was the 5♦ to eliminate Cheraghi in the most brutal fashion and give Plante the huge pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The damage of a post-hand situation was being sorted by the dealer. Sanford Tabin was holding the winning hand of AxAx while Alexander Tan-Wing Wong had the AxKx.

The board showed 6xKxJx10x2x for a slight tease for the ace-king but ultimately was not enough and Wong was left with just a few chips.
