Igor Dursel moved all-in from the small blind and was called by Sriharsha Doddapaneni from the big blind.

The hands were tabled and it was the {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} held by Dursel that was at-risk and behind the {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} held by Doddapaneni.

The dealer ran out the board of {6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and things ended as they began with Doddapaneni in the lead, which eliminated Dursel from the tournament.

Action picked up on the turn with a board reading {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades} with about 160,000 in the middle, and Marvin Karlins having gone all-in against Thomas Boivin for 135,000. Boivin was in the tank for some time before he tossed in one chip to call. "Good call," said Karlins as the hands were tabled.

Marvin Karlins: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Thomas Boivin: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The river came the {a-Spades} which gave Karlins a rivered pair of aces for the whole pot. Boivin was left with two big blinds behind and he was out shortly afterwards.
