A player in the cutoff moved all in for around 8,000 and the button called. Tom Gottlieb then reraised to 18,000. "You would've been better off against my hand," the button told the at-risk player as he folded, saying he had ace-jack.

All-In Player: Q♥Q♠ All in
Tom Gottlieb: K♣K♦

Gottlieb had picked up kings to leave his opponent at risk of elimination. The board ran out J♦2♣6♣9♣7♥ and Gottlieb's kings remained in the lead to narrow the field by one.

"I wish I just flat-called," Gottlieb said after the hand.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ethan Yau raised from early position which got the action to fold around to Marco Petrusch in the big blind, who shoved for around 15,000. Yau snap-called.

Marco Petrusch: A♠8♥ All in
Ethan Yau: Q♦Q♠

Petrusch was behind but was momentarily ahead when the dealer showed an A♥ in the window, after a few seconds pause, rest of the flop was revealed with the Q♥5♣ giving Yau a set.

Petrusch did pick up some outs on the 8♠ turn but the 4♦ river wasn't what he needed, which meant he was eliminated in the closing level of Day 2d.
