Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Kris Klimosko raised to 24,000 and Douglas Redmann moved all in for 54,000. With the action on Noah Goodwin he reshoved all in for 164,000. It folded back to Klimosko who called and the hands were shown.

Noah Goodwin: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Kris Klimosko: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Douglas Redmann: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Goodwin's pocket kings held up earning him the pot and sending Goodwin to the rail in the process.

Ilani's Aces Cracked

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 22,000, Kfir Nahum three-bet to 53,000 from middle position, and Ran Ilani, who was next to act, shoved for 122,000. The original raiser folded and Nahum called to put Ilani at risk.

Kfir Nahum: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Ran Ilani: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

Ilani had a big lead with his aces and Nahum needed to improve in order to stack him. The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} to give Nahum two pair, so he took the pot to end Ilani's tournament.

Clinton Roig opened to 25,000 from early position, Cher Vang three-bet to 125,000 from middle position, Roig four-bet shoved for 465,000, and Vang quickly called with a covering stack.

Clinton Roig: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Cher Vang: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Vang had a commanding lead with his kings and Roig needed help from the deck to survive. Neither player connected with the {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} board, so Vang took the pot to put himself near the chip lead and end Roig's tournament.

Ben Shannon moved all in for 67,000 from the h-jack and Joe McKeehen called from the cutoff. The blinds quickly folded and the hands were shown.

Ben Shannon: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Joe McKeehen: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} runout sealed the deal for Shannon and his pocket eights held up to earn him the double-up.
