Heimiller Boat Takes Out Carlson

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daniel Heimiller and Christopher Carlson were both all in after the flop of J84 with Tyler Brown, who had the most chips, also in the pot.

Tyler Brown: 8532
Daniel Heimiller: KJ109
Christopher Carlson: AQJ5

The running nines 99 hit Heimiller perfectly, and with the low not making it, the pot was his.

Pescatori With Triplo KO

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Italian Massimiliano Pescatori, who now calls Vegas home, scored a sweet triple knockout- just before the end of Level 8.

Jinghan Yan made the first all-in move under the gun. Rishi Amin followed suit and was called by Pescatori. When the flop came 9J10, Bjorn Verbakel joined the all-in fest.

Jinghan Yan: AKK5
Bjorn Verbakel: AKQ7
Rishi Amin: Q422
Massimiliano Pescatori: A332

The turn and river brought the 8 giving Verbakel the nut straight, but his hand drowned on the river 5. Pescatori took it down with the ace-high spade flush.

Kessler is Cursed

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Jiacong Zhang opened to 3,000 from early position, and Stuart Rutter called from middle position. Action folded to Allen Kessler in the big blind, who moved all in for his last 9,300. Both Zhang and Rutter called, prompting Kessler to say, "the PokerNews curse," suggesting the presence of a reporter had already sealed his fate.

With Kessler at risk, the flop came K29 and both players checked. On the J turn, Zhang bet pot, forcing Rutter to fold.

Allen Kessler: AKK3 All in
Jiacong Zhang: AQ107

Kessler had flopped top set, but Zhang turned a straight, leaving Kessler needing the board to pair to survive.

The 7 river changed nothing, sending Kessler to the rail, still muttering about the "PokerNews curse" as he exited.
