Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sergi Reixach raised to 10,000 from the hijack and action folded around to Ren Lin in the big blind who tossed in his "No Gamble No Future," patch to signify he was all in for 76,000 and Reixach called.

Ren Lin: Q♦Q♠
Sergi Reixach: K♦K♥

The board ran out 7♠9♥10♠7♣5♦ and Reixach celebrated screaming "I did not lose to Lady Gaga! This is the greatest accomplishment in my life!"

Lin exited the tournament area while the Spanish player took down the pot.

Espen Jorstad raised it up in early position and Brandon Wilson ripped all in for just over 50,000 in the big blind. Jorstad thought for a brief moment and then called to put Wilson at risk.

Brandon Wilson: 4♥4♦
Espen Jorstad: 6♥6♣

The flop came K♦5♠2♦ to give Wilson some backdoor potential but the 9♣ on the turn quickly put that to an end. The 3♦ hit the river and Jorstad's sixes held up to send Wilson to the rail.
