"A Brutal Way to Go" For De Lima

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Carlos Alberto Alves De Lima jammed for 850,000 in middle position, and Carlos Citara three-bet shoved for 1.8 million from the button, chasing out the blinds.

Carlos Alberto Alves De Lima: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Carlos Citara: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Citara was in bad shape, and it got worse after the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop left him looking for running cards to score the knockout. The {q-Diamonds} turn was one of them, and after the {10-Spades} river completed an unlikely Broadway straight for Citara, a shellshocked De Lima slumped down in his chair with a wry grin on his face, still in disbelief that his aces had been cracked. He eventually stood up and shook hands with the table, wishing them well before departing.

Pan's Sneaky Straight Nets a Double

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

With around 600,000 in the pot, Yuwen Pan got his last 850,000 in from the small blind on a {4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} board, and John Gorsuch had him at risk in the cutoff.

Yuwen Pan: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}
John Gorsuch: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

After the {2-Spades} fell on the river, Gorsuch started to bring his chips back, not seeing that Pan had turned a straight. Once he realized that his set had been bested by Pan, he nodded and paid off his debt.
