Bob Zeidman made it 3,000 to go and Johnnie Moreno shoved for his last 19,800. Zeidman let it go and Moreno took the pot.

A few minutes later Moreno was no longer seated and the table recounted that he had another encounter with Zeidman. This time Zeidman had Moreno at risk preflop.

Johnnie Moreno: {a-}{10-}
Bob Zeidman: {8-}{8-}

Zeidman would drill an eight for a set and Moreno was eliminated.

Staana Climbing the Leaderboard After Stacking Opponent

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alvin Staana opened under the gun to 2,500 and was three-bet to 7,500 by the player two seats to his left. Staana called.

The flop came {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. After Staana checked, his opponent put out a bet of 7,000. Staana called.

When the {k-Hearts} rolled off on the turn, Staana elected to put his opponent all-in. After roughly a minute of deliberation, the player called for his last 21,600.

Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Staana: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The river {6-Spades} meant that Staana's pair of kings held to see his chip stack soar to 180,000.

With 33,000 already in the middle on the {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} river, Christian Roberts shoved over his opponent's 5,000 river bet with 21,500 of his own.

After a minute of thought, his opponent called. Roberts turned over {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for aces-up and that was good to give him the full double.
