Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Zachary Smiley and David Lascar were all-in preflop, courtesy of a classic cooler. Lascar was the player at risk.

David Lascar: A♠A♥
Zachary Smiley; K♣K♦

The board ran out J♥9♥7♥4♥10♦, doubling Lascar up and leaving Smiley — who had just cracked aces the hand before — very short indeed.

David Lascar	260,000 260,000	260,000
Zachary Smiley	16,500 16,500	16,500

The pot stood at 40,000 as the board read 6♣3♥2♥7♥.

Sean Ragozzini, under the gun, checked the action to the hijack who bet out for 20,000. Ragozzini responded with a check-raise shoving all in for 95,000.

Ragozzini's opponent clearly in a tough spot folded his cards and let Ragozzini claim this pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The under-the-gun player shoved all in for his last 8,000, Tamer Alkamli called in the hijack and Uri Reichenstein three-bet jammed for his remaining 59,500. Alkamli called covering both players.

Under-the-Gun Player: A♦K♦
Uri Reichenstein: K♣J♣
Tamer Alkamli: K♥Q♦

The board ran out 9♥5♥Q♥7♠3♣. Alkamli's flopped queen held to the river sending both opponents to the rail.
