Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Keith Lehr opened the action from middle position with a raise to 32,000. The hijack called and Daniel Fuhs called in the cutoff. Rodger Johnson moved all in from the small blind for 232,000 and action folded back around to Fuhs. He thought it over and eventually made the call.

Rodger Johnson: A♠K♠ All in
Daniel Fuhs: 8♦7♦

Fuhs found himself in a decent spot for a knockout with just eight-high, but the gamble did not pay off after the dealer put out J♣A♣4♠2♠3♥ earning Johnson the pot and newfound chips.

The pot had grown to approximately 470,000 with two players looking at a full board of 3♣2♠4♥6♠3♦.

Joshua Zimmerman, in the big blind, moved all in for 321,000, sending Curt Kohlberg, in early position, deep into the tank.

Exposed Card Puts Ashraf in a Tough Spot

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action was caught as Waheed Ashraf, in the small blind, found himself all in and at risk against Lawrence Greenberg, in the big blind.

Waheed Ashraf: 5♥5♦ All in
Lawrence Greenberg: A♦A♠

The board ran out with no help for Ashraf as it came 7♣6♥10♠3♣9♦; Ashraf couldn't improve against Greenberg's aces, sending him to the rail.

As reported by Ashraf to PokerNews, the dealer originally pitched him an off-suit 10x but the card was exposed in the deal. Consequently, the replacement card was another five, which gave him this small pocket pair, resulting in this tricky blind versus blind situation.
