Andreas Hagen Doubles Through Philip Russo

Andreas Hagen moves all in preflop with {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but he'll need to improve to survive against Philip Russo's {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The flop comes {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and Hagen is sitting pretty with middle pair, a flush draw, and plenty of outs. The turn card is the {6-Diamonds}, and Hagen takes the lead with a diamond flush. Russo has a higher diamond, so he has outs to a higher flush. But the last card pairs the board with the {3-Hearts}, and Hagen wins the pot to double up to about 68,000 in chips. Russo drops down to about 60,000.

As a side note, the player in seat 9 informs everyone that he folded pocket threes preflop to the all-in -- he would have made quads.

Martin Perez Eliminated in 70th Place by Rafe Furst

The button raises to 18,000, Martin Perez calls all in from the small blind, Rafe Furst raises from the big blind to 38,000, and the button folds. Perez shows {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, and he'll need to improve to survive Furst's {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

The board comes {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}, and Rafe Furst turns a set of sevens to win the pot, increasing his stack to about 100,000.

Martin Perez is eliminated in 70th place, earning $8,717.

Rafe Furst Crippled to 7,500 by Joe Pelton

Joe Pelton raises under the gun to 21,000, and Rafe Furst calls from the button. The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, Pelton bets 25,000, and Furst calls. The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, Pelton checks, Furst moves all in, and Pelton calls with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Furst shows {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}, and he needs a jack (for a set) or a club (for a flush) to survive.

The river card is the {9-Spades}, and Pelton wins the pot with his pocket kings. Rafe Furst is crippled down to just 7,500 in chips.

Pontus Khosravi Doubles Through Ali Eslami

(This hand happened before the break.) After a flop of {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Pontus Khosravi bet 20,000, Ali Eslami raised to 58,000, Khosravi moved all in for 135,500, and Eslami immediately called with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for two overcards and the nut flush draw. Khosravi showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for an overpair, and it would need to hold up for him to survive.

The last two cards were {5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, and Khosravi's queens held up to win the pot, increasing his stack to about 215,000. Eslami dropped down to about 40,000.
