The under-the-gun player raised to 2,500, Jason Somerville called from the cutoff and Justin Young three-bet all in for 23,125. Darren Elias called from the big blind, resulting in folds from the original raiser and Somerville.

Young: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Elias: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{J-Spades}{K-Hearts}, giving Young a set of kings to double up through Elias.

Raskin Gets His Fill; Bellande Eliminated

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Micah Raskin
Micah Raskin

Micah Raskin moved all in for 25,800 into a pot of around 85,000 on a completed board of {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and Dani Stern went into the tank.

Stern couldn't pass up the roughly 4-1 odds, making the call, and he snap-mucked when Raskin showed {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for a full house.

Over at Table 365, Jean-Robert Bellande was eliminated with unknown action.
