Gabrielle Barredo

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up with two players engaged in an all-in showdown on a classic coin flip.

Andrew Ward: Q♦Q♠ All in
Robert Boryca: A♣K♣

The dealer fanned out Q♣J♠4♣, giving Ward a set, but at the same time, Boryca's outs increased with a possible flush.

The turn 8♦ didn't change the status quo, but the 2♣ river gave Boryca his flush out, kicking Ward out of the tournament.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nicol Smith open-shoved all-in from hijack. Mark Ebner in the big blind asked for a count but got impatient when the count took longer than he wanted it to. He just announced a call even before the count finished taking both players to showdown.

Nicol Smith: A♥6♥ All in
Mark Ebner: 6♦6♣

The board ran 2♠7♣5♦8♥3♣ and with no ace in sight, Ebner scooped the pot stating that was the best hand he's had all day.

Full House, Flush and Queens

Maxime Taldir

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a flop of 8♥2♣8♣, Guy Cicconi in the big blind moved all in for 105,000 and was called by Yan Yan in the cutoff and Anatoly Korochenskiy on the button.

Yan checked the A♠, allowing Korochenskiy to go all in for roughly 270,000. Yan, who was slightly covered, went deep into the tank. "Ok, I call," he eventually said.

Guy Cicconi: 2♥2♠ All in
Yan Yan: Q♦Q♣ All in
Anatoly Korochenskiy A♣5♣

"Yes, yes," Korochenskiy cheered when he hit a flush with the 4♣ river before realizing that Cicconi had the best hand with a full house. Anyway, he scooped the side pot while Yan was eliminated.
