Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action picked up on a board showing 6♥4♣A♠9♠ in a battle of the blinds showdown between Karanvir "Kenny" Singh in the big blind and a player in the small blind.

The player in the small blind moved all in for his remaining 1,575,000 and the bet had Singh in the tank.

Singh leaned back in his seat and looked at the board for a few moments, and then leaned forward to look at the board.

Time ticked by before Singh reached into his chip stack and made the call.

All-In Player: 10♣8♥ All in
Karanvir Singh: J♠6♣

Singh’s opponent had a gutshot straight draw, while Singh was ahead with a pair of sixes.

“Please hold,” Singh said ahead of the river.

The dealer placed 6♠ on the river, giving Singh trip sixes for the win and a knockout blow.

Rambo Halpern moved all in from the small blind and the big blind was somewhat reluctant but made the call.

Rambo Halpern: A♣10♠ All in
Big blind: K♦Q♥

The table said, "oh", in unison when the board ran out with 7♣6♣10♣ with the nut flush draw for Halpern with top pair and the turn 9♦ and the river 2♠ changed nothing and Halpern had the best hand with a pair of tens.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The button was all in and at risk against Kris Pickett in the hijack.

Button: Q♦Q♠ All in
Kris Pickett: A♠K♥

The board came Picketts way, as he saw two kings come on the 2♦7♥K♠K♣10♣ runout giving him trips, busting the button from the tournament.

A couple of hands later under the gun moved all in for around 2,300,000 and got a call from Pickett in middle position.

Middle Position: A♦9♥ All in
Kris Pickett: 10♠10♣

This time Pickett was ahead and there was no change on the Q♦K♠7♦ flop, or the K♣9♦ completion.

Pickett took out two players from the tournament within 5 minutes.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The post-dinner break didn’t slow down the action at Yingcong Chen’s table.

A player in late position moved all in as a short stack, and action folded to Chen in the small blind.

Chen looked down and peeled back his cards, and then came over the top with his own all-in bet. The player in the big blind folded, resulting in the hands being tabled.

All-In Player: Q♣10♣ All in
Yingcong Chen: Q♠Q♦

The dealer fanned A♠A♣10♠ on the flop, keeping Chen in the lead with a better two pair. The 5♣ on the turn gave Chen’s opponent hope for a flush, but the 8♠ on the river gave Chen the win and sent his opponent to the payout desk.
