Aliosha Staes: K♠9♣ All in
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: Q♦Q♠

Staes still had hope with one overcard but the board ran out with 7♦8♠6♥4♣3♣ and the queens prevailed for Mavritsakis.

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Vic Peppe moved all in out of late position for his remaining 2,150,000 and a player two to his left three-bet all in, a move that covered Peppe.

The rest of the players folded, and the cards were tabled.

Vic Peppe: A♥Q♣ All in
Opponent: A♦K♠

“I’m due a queen,” Peppe said as he stood up.

The dealer fanned 3♦8♠3♠ on the flop, leaving Peppe behind. The 7♠ on the turn didn’t help.

But like Peppe desired, the Q♦ showed up on the turn to give him the win and double up.

“Didn’t I call it?” Peppe turned and asked PokerNews.

Indeed you did, Sir.

Jose Balasar Acosta was all in from a middle position for around 2,700,000 and got called from the hijack.

Jose Balasar Acosta: Q♦9♦ All in
Hijack: A♥Q♥

The 2♣9♠4♥ flop gave Acosta a pair of nines, and this was good enough to secure him the double as the 8♥ turn and 3♣ river didn't change the outcome.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

A player in middle position moved all in for around 1,300,000, and Ricky Robinson called from the hijack. The big blind also called, taking the players three ways to the 5♣Q♠Q♦ flop.

Both non-all-in players checked to the 9♦ turn, and the big blind bet 500,000. Robinson moved all in, and the big blind folded, leaving just two players to show their cards.

Middle position: K♠10♦ All in
Ricky Robinson: A♥Q♥

Robinson was sitting with trip queens, and things got better on the Q♣ river, giving him quads.
