Ryan Coon pushed his last 6,000 over the line for Tim Grau to raise it up to 20,000 on his left. The action folded to the big blind, who considered his options for a while but opted to get out of their way.
Ryan Coon: 9♣9♠8♠6♥
Tim Grau: A♣K♦6♠3♣
The board ran out 6♦8♥J♥5♦2♠ for Grau to flop a pair of sixes but for Coon to stay ahead with the nines in his hand to more than double with.

Alfie Adam raised from the middle position to 27,000 to leave 7,000 behind. The action folded to Daniel Kim in the big blind, who considered his options for a bit.
"Let's call light," he said, before putting Adam all in, who made the call.
Alfie Adam: A♥A♠Q♠Q♣
Daniel Kim: 8♦7♠7♣5♦
"Nice hand," Kim commented when he saw Adam's hand.
The flop came 4♦A♣9♠ for Adam to hit a set.
The turn was the 10♥ for Kim to pick up the open-ended straight draw.
"Here we go! I have a straight draw!" Kim responded.
The whole table gasped when the 6♣ completed the board, for Kim to hit his straight and indeed to eliminate Adam.
