On a raised pot and a board showing {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Troy Sprungl shoved from the small blind position and James MacKey reshoved for a stack around 80,000. Ranno Sootla made the call and the three players tabled their cards.

Holding {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a set of sevens, Sootla had the best hand, facing {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for MacKey and {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for Sprungl. A {4-Clubs} bricked on the river and Sootla won the massive pot to climb around 700,000.

Capra Knocks Out Two Players

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Ralph Massey
Ralph Massey

Ralph Massey pushed all in for 27,600 and it was called by Ryne Capra in the small blind and the player in the big blind who went also all-in for a shorter stack.

Holding {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, Capra was in good shape to win the hand, facing {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for Massey and {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for the third player, and the board {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs} eliminated his opponents and gave Capra two more bounties.
