Ernie Jockheck opened from the late position with a raise to 32,000 and his opponent sitting directly to his left moved the last of her chips in for a shove of 85,000 in total. Action folded back around to Jockheck who called.

Ernie Jockheck: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
All-In Player: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Jockheck's kings were in front and the board ran out {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} to keep him that way, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.

Gallagher's Shove Was The Right Move

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The under-the-gun player open-shoved for 65,000 and action folded to S Kathleen Gallagher who jammed over the top for 350,000. Action folded around to the small blind player who contemplated making the call but didn't want to risk his remaining stack and mucked {j-}{j-}.

S Kathleen Gallagher: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
All-In Player: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The small blind player said, "there's going be a jack on the flop I know it" and sure enough there was as the board ran out {2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Gallagher was very pleased with her re-shove instead of flatting and she collected her chips.

Chung Survives Scary Board, Eliminates Opponent

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Thomas Chung opened from early position with a raise to 16,000, the player sitting directly to his left moved all in for 44,500 and action folded back around to Chung who called.

Thomas Chung: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Chung hit on the {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop but it also gave his opponent a gutterball draw.

The {7-Spades} on the turn improved Chung's opponent's hand to an open-ended straight draw and he needed to dodge any six or jack.

The river was neither of those as it came the {k-Spades} and Chung eliminated his opponent.
