Level 9

Blinds: 2,000-3,000
Limits: 3,000-6,000

"All-in, 17,000,000," Martin Kabrhel announced while pushing forward his 4,000-chip stack. Jeremy Ausmus raised from the button and was called by Karim Alwan in the big blind.

Both of them then checked all the way through a board of 2♦3♦4♥5♦8♠. “There’s an all-in, everyone has to show their cards,” Kabrhel added.

Martin Kabrhel: K♦5♥ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: Q♥10♣
Karim Alwan: 5♠2♣

Kabrhel hit a pair on the turn, but it wasn't enough to stay in the tournament against Alwan's two pair.

Level 9

Blinds: 2,000-3,000
Limits: 3,000-6,000

With a bloated preflop pot, the flop came 3♦3♠8♣ and Dzmitry Urbanovich checked as did Jon Turner. Ryuta Nakai bet out only to then see Urbanovich three-bet. Turner folded, and Nakai called and the players saw the 2♥ fall on the turn. Urbanovich bet out, and Nakai called.

The river saw the 6♦ and again Nakai check-called Urbanovich's bet. Urbanovich spun over A♦A♠ and was pushed the pot as Nakai pushed his cards into the muck.
