Morales Doubles, Takes One Orbit Off

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Anatolii Zyrin raised to 1,000,000 in middle position and Gabriel Morales shipped all in for 5,050,000 on the button. As Zyrin was in the tank, Morales started discussing his hand, trying to get Zyrin to fold. Zyrin ended up making the call and the cards were tabled.

Gabriel Morales: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Anatolii Zyrin: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

There was a {j-Spades} in the window for Zyrin but it quickly followed with the {k-Diamonds} and {2-Clubs} to give Morales a set of deuces. The {9-Spades} on the turn and the {7-Clubs} on the river gave Morales a double up but he was given a one-round penalty after the hand.

Choi Scores a Huge Double Knockout

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jacob Thibodeau pushed all in for a little over 6,000,000 from under the gun and Inkyu Choi re-shoved all in from the small blind. Elad Kubi was in the big blind with just shy of 10,000,000 and called off the rest of his stack as well.

Jacob Thibodeau: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Elad Kubi: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Inkyu Choi: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} provided a little bit for everyone. Choi flopped top set, Kubi held a straight draw, and Thibodeau had an open-ended straight draw with a flush draw. The {3-Diamonds} and {2-Diamonds} runout bricked everything and Choi held on to eliminate both opponents.
