Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

When it folded to Michael Reisman on the button, he raised to 140,000 with just 13,000 behind. Keegan Mccann jammed from the small blind with a covering stack, and after the big blind folded, Reisman committed the last of his chips.

Michael Reisman: A♥Q♦ All in
Keegan Mccann: K♠10♠

Reisman was slightly ahead with ace-high, but the 10♦8♦9♣ flop put Mccann into the lead with top pair. The 7♦ turn offered Reisman a load of outs he could hit to survive. He managed to find one as the J♦ landed on the river to give him a flush, and he doubled up at the expense of Mccann.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Ryan Darby open-jammed in middle position with his short stack worth around 50,000. Action folded to the big blind Tracy Doss who made the call putting Darby at risk.

Ryan Darby: Q♠J♣ All in
Tracy Doss: A♥3♠

Darby stood up the moment he saw the cards tabled, looking resigned. But the flop dropped J♠10♣10♠ bringing a smile to his face. The turn Q♦ made him sit back down as he happily waited for the board to be completed with a 2♦ river.

Darby scooped the pot explaining his all-in saying he knew his cards would be coming and that he had "selective telekinetic powers."

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The table folded to Thomas Stokes on the button who tossed in a call.

John Vournas: 4♣4♥ All in
Thomas Stokes: K♥K♦

Stokes had Vournas in trouble with a dominating pair and that reality did not change during the 5♥J♥8♥K♠2♥ runout busting Vournas out of the tournament.
