Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alec Torelli raised in the cutoff to 10,000 and Mihai Niste made the call from the big blind. The flop came out with 6♥10♥4♦ and both players checked.

The turn K♣ was also checked through.

On the river 8♠ Niste bet out for 12,000 and Torelli contemplated, made the call and mucked when Niste turned over 9♦7♦ for the straight and was so confident he was the winner he pulled back his bet before Torelli mucked.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

John Pierce was all in from the cutoff and up against the button's entire stack.

Button: Q♣Q♥ All in
John Pierce: A♣K♥

The 5x7xAx2x4x runout gave Pierce top pair and he took down the pot and knocked out a player.

A couple of tables away, Senovio Ramirez was all in and at risk from under the gun and had been called by a middle position player who covered him.

Senovio Ramirez: A♠K♠ All in
Under the Gun: Q♠Q♦

Just as before, the 4♠5♦A♦6♦7♠ runout gave Ramirez the pair of aces to get the double.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was followed from the turn with the 5♣9♥J♣ flop and 10♠ already dealt and three players in the hand. The pot stood at around 50,000.

Jason Kim (LA) raised from the button to 24,000 and got a call from the big blind. Maria Konnikova moved all in for around 110,000 and Kim took around a minute to make the fold, with the big blind staring him down the entire tank. The big blind snap called and the two remaining players flipped their cards.

Big blind: 8x7x All in
Maria Konnikova: Qx8x

The big blind had turned a straight, but Konnikova had turned a higher one with the queen.

The big blind was eliminated and Kim shared some table talk, stating they had K♣10♣ for a straight and flush draw on the flop, and shared that they would "usually call".
