Jim Murray

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 5,000 and David Peters made the call from middle position. The player to Peters' right, Kyung Kunlee, then moved all in for 17,500, with the original raiser reshoving and Peters folding.

Kyung Kunlee: 9♠9♥
Early Position Player: 7♥7♣

Kunlee connected with the 9♣10♥6♥ flop, but an eight would complete a straight for the early position player.

However, the Q♠ on the turn and the 7♦ on the river, although making the early position player a set of sevens, wasn't enough to overcome the set of nines of Kunlee.

David Peters	49,000 49,000	49,000

Kyung Kunlee	45,000 45,000	45,000

Jim Murray

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dan Heimiller moved all-in for 20,000 from early position and was called by Anatoly Nikitin in the big blind.

Dan Heimiller: K♠Q♥
Anatoly Nikitin: A♦2♦

Heimiller would need some help to stay alive, but the final runout of 7♠4♦3♥10♦9♥ would not suffice and send Heimiller to the rail.

Jim Murray

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player in late position raised to 5,000 and David Peters moved all in for 30,000 from the button, with the late position player making the call.

David Peters: A♣8♣
Late Position Player: Q♠Q♣

Peters needed to play catch up against the late position player's queens and the 8♠2♥J♥ flop opened the door to additional outs for Peters.

The 10♠ on the turn wasn't much help, but the 8♥ on the river vaulted Peters into the lead with trips and secured the double.

Hall of Famer Billy Baxter moved all in from under the gun for 29,500, which prompted the early position player to move all in for 62,000. Martin Zamani also moved all in for 72,000 from the hijack. Everyone else folded and the cards went on their backs.

Billy Baxter: K♠J♦
Early Position: A♥Q♦
Martin Zamani: A♦5♦

Both Zamani and early position hit an ace on the A♣10♦8♠ flop, but Zamani went runner-runner when the J♦2♦ hit the board to give him a flush to take out two players, but more importantly, claim the $2,006 bounty on Baxter's head.
