Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
In a pot that was limped in two spots, raised and called preflop totaling four players, a flop of A♠10♣J♣ was fanned out.
Phil Quintin ended up in a three-way all in for his 74,000 on the flop that saw him facing two hands that were drawing very live against his flopped nut straight.
Phil Quintin: K♠Q♦
Middle Position: K♣9♣
Late Position: 10♠10♦
Needing to dodge a lot of outs, Quintin faded everything on the 7♦5♥ runout and found a massive triple up.

Michael Senter raised under the gun, it then folded around to Katie Kopp, who moved all-in for approximately 60,000 in chips. Senter called, putting Kopp at risk.
Katie Kopp: A♥K♣
Michael Senter: A♠K♦
Both players quickly realized they were tied as the dealer ran out the Q♥7♦7♥, Kopp leaned forward in her seat as the 4♥ hit the turn, giving her a flush draw. However, the 4♣ completed the board and both players chopped the blinds.
Katie Kopp remains on the hunt for a back to back title.

The PokerNews Podcast team is down to two following the elimination of Connor Richards.
Richards got his last 20,000 into the middle preflop against Joao Cabral and was flipping for his tournament life.
Connor Richards: A♦K♣
Joao Cabral: 10♠10♥
The board came 5♦9♥Q♥J♦4♣, and Richards was unable to improve, sending him to the rail, while colleagues Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen are both working with healthy stacks as the bubble approaches.

A player in early position raised to 8,000 picking up three callers in middle position, the cutoff and the small blind.
Four players go to a flop of 9♦9♣9♠. Once checked to, the original raiser put in a continuation bet of 26,000. After much deliberation, Marco Starnoni in the cutoff goes all in for his remaining 56,500 chips. The cutoff and small blind promptly fold before the original raiser is put in a tough spot but ultimately follows suit conceding the pot to Starnoni.

PokerNews rushed to catch the action as the table turned into an uproar on the river.
With the help of the table we were told that Sarah Zalis went all-in preflop for 21,000 and was called by the big blind.
Sarah Zalis: K♠7♠
Opponent: A♦A♥
Zalis found a sweat as the flop came K♥2♥Q♦, the turn brought the 5♥ giving her less outs, and the table burst into a mix of surprise and outrage as the 7♦ fell on the river, giving Zalis two pair and the double.
Zalis held up her drink and said, "It's the whiskey sour!", implying she may have gone all-in a bit lighter than usual.
