Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Weston Pring and Zyad Qasem had all their chips in the middle of a felt for a showdown.
Weston Pring: K♦8♣ 
Zyad Qasem: A♦5♦
Pring caught middle pair on the flop 10♦8♠5♥ but Qasem, who had bottom pair, still had outs for a chance to eliminate. The 7♥ turn didn't change anything. Pring secured a double up when his hand improved to a two pair with the K♥ river.
