Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Players were heads-up on the 7♦Q♥A♣J♠10♠ board with a pot of around 80,000. Mihai Isar had checked from the big blind and Dingxiang Ong had moved 150,000 into the middle from his stack. Isar had only 90,000 behind and went into the tank as there were 3 people away from reaching the money.

Isar put his remaining stack into the pot and play was paused whilst hand for hand was in play.

There was alot of table talk, and Isar asked Ong "Do you have it?". Isar stood from the table until the cards were turned.

Mihai Isar: Q♣7♣All in
Dingxiang Ong: 10♣8♦

Isar showed two pair, and took the pot after Ong had only a single pair of tens.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The prospect of getting knocked out on the bubble didn't discourage John Herring from raising to 12,000 preflop, then going all in to call Christopher Savage's 92,000-chip three-bet.

John Herring: A♥A♦All in
Christopher Savage: J♦J♣

In the runout 10♦4♠3♦J♠3♠ brought bad news on the turn and worse on the river, with Savage hitting a jack for a set, then a full house to crack Herring's aces.

"I'm sorry," Savage said. "That sucks."

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

During bubble time ten people were eliminated and two of them were Delano Jackson and Thao Yang.

Delano Jackson open- shoved all-in in the small blind for around 55,000 and got called by big blind Kharlin Sued taking them to showdown.

Delano Jackson: 6♠6♦ All in
Kharlin Sued: 9♠9♦

Sued was ahead with his nines and and stayed ahead on the board 3♠K♥J♦8♥2♦ making Jackson one of the eliminations on the bubble.

Two tables down, Thao Yang responded with an all-in shove for around 39,000 in middle position after David Amos under the gun opened to 9,000. Amos made the call putting Yang's tournament life during bubble time in jeopardy.

Thao Yang: K♦Q♣ All in
David Amos: A♥10♥

The flop came 8♥10♠8♣ instantly giving Amos a pair and potentially sending Yang to hit the rails. With the runout 4♦7♠, Yang's fate was sealed to join Jackson as one of the ten eliminations.

The ten eliminated players would be chopping seven payouts.
