Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

The board read {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Ibrahim Guessous moved all in for his remaining 14,100. Dawn Wilensky thought for a few moments before making the call and put Guessous at risk of elimination.

Guessous tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for a pair of aces and Wilensky showed {8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of kings. The turn came the {9-Diamonds} and Wilensky picked up a straight draw, but failed to hit anything as the {2-Spades} fell on the river and Guessous took the pot.

Uri Reichenstein: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Joseph Leung: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}
