Ace High is Good Enough

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Taylor Von Kriegenbergh raised to 45,000 on the button, and only Ramiro Salinas called, defending his big blind.

Salinas checked the J65 flop, but called when Von Kriegenbergh continued for 50,000.

Von Kriegenbergh turned up the heat on the 3 turn, betting 200,000 when checked to. Undeterred, Salinas called.

The river K caused both players to hit the brakes, and the river checked through.

"I missed", said Von Kriegenbergh, but fortunately for him, so did Salinas.

Salinas turned over 84 for a missed straight draw, and Von Kriegenbergh won the pot with ace-high, tabling A10 for a missed flush draw.

Kincaid Spikes Eight

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Manuel Fritz raised from under the gun to 40,000, was called by John Kincaid in the cutoff, and Thomas Boivin on the button. Sean Winter, from the small blind, raised to 500,000. He was only called by Kincaid.

John Kincaid: 88 All in
Sean Winter: A10

The runout came K32108 and Kincaid found the double with a miracle eight ball in the corner pocket. Sean Winter busted shortly after taking this tough beat on the chin.

Biao Ding raised in the cutoff to 40,000, Brandon Steven called on the button and Landon Tice three-bet to 180,000 from the big blind. Ding decided to four-bet shove, Steven folded and Tice called.

Ding caught a great flop with 7K8, but the 10 on the turn gave Tice additional outs. The 6 on the river completed the comeback, sending Ding to the rail.

Last Level Eliminations

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Just before the players bagged their chips for Day 2, Jesse Lonis and Alan Keating were eliminated.

Both still have the option of using their one allowed reentry, should they wish to do so.

Jesse Lonis raised to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Thomas Boivin from the cutoff. Manuel Fritz defended his big blind.

On the 4410 flop, Lonis continued for 80,000. Boivin called and Fritz folded.

On the 2 turn, Lonis sized up to 275,000. Boivin then moved all in as the big stack. Lonis started the hand with around 950,000 and after some thinking time, he called for his tournament life.

Jesse Lonis: JJ All in
Thomas Boivin: 64

Lonis had two outs, but the Q river marked his exit instead.
