Yifu He Calls Off with King High

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

On a board reading {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} with around 45,000 in the middle already, Yifu He bet 31,000 from the big blind. Manig Loeser announced all in, putting He to the test for his last 33,000 chips he had in front of him.

He tanked for a couple minutes and the clock was finally called on him as well. As his time was running out, He stuck in his remaining chips and the cards were tabled. Loeser flipped over {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a flush and He held {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a straight flush draw. The river brought the {9-Diamonds} and Loeser sent He to the rail.

Watson Sends Hinds Home

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The player on the button opened to 7,000. Henry Hinds three-bet shoved for 25,000. Mike Watson, in the big blind, reshoved for around 150,000. The button folded.

Mike Watson: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Henry Hinds: {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

''Four please!'' commented Hinds. The dealer spread a flop of {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades}. ''Clubs!'' he added. But the {j-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} river completed the board and Hinds couldn't hit, heading to the rail instead.

Yifrach Scores a Double KO

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Victor Choupeaux opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Gal Yifrach just flat-called directly to his left. The action folded to William Jennings in the big blind who shoved all in for around 30,000. Choupeaux moved all in over the top for around 77,000 and Yifrach thought for a moment before calling, putting both players at risk.

Gal Yifrach: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Victor Choupeaux: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
William Jennings: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} and Yifrach's pocket queens held up to eliminate both Choupeaux and Jennings.
