Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jon Beadles went all in confidently with nearly 800,000 chips on a flop of 10♠9♥9♣. Bradley Kodesh didn't hesitate to call.

"I have bad news, brother," Kodesh said. "I flopped quads."

Jon Beadles: K♦K♣ All in
Bradley Kodesh: 9♠9♦

When Q♣2♥ turned, it was indeed a hard day's afternoon for Beadles, who needed runner-runner king-king for a better four-of-a-kind.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Players were already at the 4♥7♥J♥5♦3♠ river with a pot of around 600,000. Sergio Giha was heads-up against Theo Jorgensen.

Sergio Giha bet 400,000 from the button and Theo Jorgensen check-shoved for around 1,250,000 from the big blind, sending Giha into the tank.

Giha eventually found a fold, handing the pot to Jorgensen.

A few hands later on the same table, Justin Arnwine bet 100,000 from a middle position and Jorgensen was the only caller from the button.

The 4♠7♣10♥ flop saw Arnwine continuation bet for 75,000 and Jorgensen made another call.

The 4♥ came on the turn and Arnwine put 150,000 chips into the middle. Jorgensen called, taking them to the river.

The dealer placed the 9♥ river and the players checked to showdown.

Arnwine showed Q♣10♣ for two pair and Jorgensen mucked his cards, handing the pot over.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Table 538 has seen a lot of action after the break. First, Edwin Guzman went all in from late position, and was called by Robert Natividad in the small blind.

Edwin Guzman: J♠J♥ All in
Robert Natividad: Q♣Q♦

The 10♠3♥2♦7♠4♦ board meant that Guzman couldn't stave off elimination.

In the very next hand, Ketan Patel moved all in from early position. Natividad was the only caller again.

Ketan Patel: A♥8♦ All in
Robert Natividad: A♣Q♣

Natividad crushed the flop on the Q♥Q♠8♥10♥3♣ board and he busted another player.

All-ins From Three Pocket Pairs

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Stephen Mascioli was looking for a big take to increase his chip count, but instead took a hard hit that left him barely in the tournament.

The preflop raising was intense, as a raise, reraise and a four-bet all-in before action reached Mascioli in the small blind. He went all-in with 285,000, just 10,000 chips more than David Martin, who was on the button.

Michael Blanovsky raised the pot to 485,000 from middle position, then folded when Roberto Romanello came over the top with an all-in, and more than 2 million behind him.

Stephen Mascioli: J♦J♥ All in
David Martin: A♠A♥ All in
Roberto Romanello: 10♦10♥

Martin's aces held up through a runout of Q♦3♠Q♣5♦8♦, as he more than tripled up. Martin was left with a mere 20,000 chips after winning a small side pot over Romanello.

Blanovsky, who walked away from the table while the hand played out, returned and claimed that his A♣Q♥ would have given him the huge pot had he stayed in. The table laughed.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roberto Romanello	1,900,000 1,900,000	1,900,000

David Martin	825,000 825,000	825,000
Stephen Mascioli	20,000 20,000	20,000
