Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jesse Yaginuma moved all in from early position for 2,200,000, and Kyna England made the call from the button.

Jesse Yaginuma: A♣K♦ All in
Kyna England: Q♠K♥

When the flop came 9♦6♣Q♣ it looked like England was going to put a sick beat on Yaginuma, but then the 10♦ fell on the turn to give Yaginuma some hope of survival.

As the J♠ dropped on the river, it made Yaginuma Broadway, and he was shipped the pot.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Action was picked up with two players, their chips in the middle of the felt and their hands tabled.

Amirouddine Alibay: K♥3♥ All in
Eduardo Saavedra: Q♣10♦

The flop A♣5♦7♥ maintained Alibay's lead with king-high but the turn Q♦ proved to be detrimental to him as it gave Saavedra a pair. The river A♦ didn't improve Alibay's hand ending his tournament run and giving Saavedra the pot and his bounty.
