Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Francis Hatchikian, in the small blind, moved all in for 275,000 chips, and was called by Alec Magdan in the big blind.

Francis Hatchikian: 9♦9♠
Alec Magdan: A♦8♣

Hatchikian was relieved when his pair of nines remained the best hand on the board 10♦8♦7♦5♥2♠, even without hitting the straight flush. He now has 600,000 chips.

On the next hand, Cynthia White wasn't as lucky as Hatchikian when she was all-in for 245,000 chips against Eden Anzio.

Cynthia White: A♦J♠
Eden Anzio: K♦10♥

Despite having the best hand preflop, White ended up behind as Anzio hit a pair of tens on the turn with 9♣5♣Q♠10♠2♦.
