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.

Richard Hetherington limped from early position, and one of the players teased, "Is limping allowed?", "I haven't seen that move since 77 with the Russians".

Luiz Alcantara raised the limper to 22,000 from the cutoff, and Scotty Nguyen called from the big blind. Hetherington also called. The flop was 7♠A♥2♣, and it was checked to Alcantara, who placed a bet of 26,000. Nguyen moved all in for 36,000, Hetherington folded, and Alcantara made the call for 1,000 more.

Scotty Nguyen: A♠J♠ All in
Luiz Alcantara: 3♦3♠

The turn 4♣ and the river Q♣ left Nguyen with the best hand with his pair of aces.
