Gagliano: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

It was a flip for Tom's tournament life, and he was able to improve on the flop after the board came down {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river was the {a-Diamonds} to send Tom the double before the dinner break.

Vonk Runs into Blades

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alexandru Papazian raised to 16,000 under the gun, Kevin Gerhart flatted in the hijack, Bob Slezak overcalled on the button and Marcel Vonk found a good spot to shove around 135,000 from the big blind. Papazian called and the remaining players folded.

Unfortunately for Vonk, his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} trailed Papazian's {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and the {7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board confirmed his elimination.
