Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vince Kim raised to 12,000 from late position and was called by a player in the big blind.

Kim continued for 18,000 on the well-connected board of 7♠6♠4♠, with the player in the big blind coming along.

Both players checked the 3♣ turn and the player in the big blind put Kim to the test with a bet of 28,000 on the 2♣ river, for a final board reading 7♠6♠4♠3♣2♣.

Kim thought for a moment before tossing in the calling chips and showing down A♥6♦, which was good, as the player in the big blind tabled K♠Q♥.

Ruzin Gets the Triple-Up

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action caught up to a multi-way all-in hand between Alexey Ruzin in the big blind, a player in late position, and a player on the button.

Alexey Ruzin: A♦K♦
Late Position: J♠J♦
Button: A♠J♣

Fortunately for Ruzin, one of the two remaining aces fell on the 8♣10♥A♣ flop, leaving both opponents needing to play catch-up.

That door would open on the 7♠ turn, giving both players holding a jack a gutshot straight draw with a nine. But the 5♥ on the river would seal up the win for Ruzin on a final board reading 8♣10♥A♣7♠5♥.

Ruzin scored the much-needed triple-up to stay alive.
