Kane Kalas opened in the cutoff to 80,000 and got called by Naoki Matsumoto in the small blind.
The flop came Q♠7♠5♥ and Matsumoto check-called Kalas for 70,000. When the turn showed the J♠, Matsumoto led out for 80,000 and Kalas didn't take long to fold.
Kane Kalas moved all in from early position for 495,000. John Riordan in middle position also moved all in for 410,000 which got everyone else to fold.
John Riordan: 8♥8♠
Kane Kalas: 10♣9♣
An even flip which Kalas took as they paired a ten on the board of K♥10♦2♦4♠Q♦ to eliminate Riordan from the tournament.
Short stack Giovanni Petroni moved all in from early position for 135,000. Action folded to Timothy Jenkins in the big blind who looked at his hand and smiled while shaking his head. Despite this, he called the three big blind shove.
Giovanni Petroni: K♦9♥
Timothy Jenkins: 7♦2♥
There was no wonder Jenkins had a wry smile when he looked down at the worst starting hand in poker. Both players hit a pair on the K♥Q♦2♠ flop, but Jenkins improved further on the 2♦ turn to make trip-twos.
However, Jenkins suffered a suck out on the river as Petroni hit the K♣ to make an unlikely boat of kings full of twos to secure the double up.
Petroni dragged in the pot and quipped to Jenkins "You could have found the fold there!" with a beaming smile on his face.
Ian Steinman raised to 80,000 from under the gun and got called by James Lim in the big blind to bring out the 9♠5♥8♥ flop.
Both players checked to see the 2♠ hit the turn. Action checked through again and the river brought the K♣.
Steinman bet out 75,000 and Lim folded to send the pot to Steinman.
Level: 24
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
Players are on their second 15-minute break of the day.
Samuel Laskowitz shoved from the hijack for 355,000 and Arnold Spee in the cutoff made the call and covered by 10,000 chips.
Samuel Laskowitz: 9♦9♣
Arnold Spee: A♠K♥
Spee got up from his chair when he saw the nine in the window on the 9♥5♣3♣10♣8♥ board and thought his day was done. After the count, he sat back down with only 10,000 chips. He has since managed to spin this up on back-to-back hands and now sits on 240,000
Jimmy Setna raised from under the gun to 60,000 and got called by Ian Steinman in middle position to bring out a 4♥6♥9♣ flop.
Setna checked to Steinman who tossed out a bet of 85,000. Setna thought for a moment before calling to see the 10♦ fall on the turn.
Setna checked again and Steinman bet again, this time for 135,000. Setna, unconvinced, called again and watched as the Q♠ hit the river.
This time, action checked through to showdown with Setna saying, "Four," as he turned over the K♠4♠ as Steinman quickly tossed his cards toward the muck and conceded the pot to Setna.
