Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Action was joined with the board reading 3♣10♥3♠K♠7♦ and the pot at well over 30,000 already. Michael Hathaway had moved all in, and Michael Sabini was deep in the tank for 2-3 minutes before he called and turned over A♣10♣ for two pair. 'Nice Hand!' exclaimed Hathaway, turning his A♥5♥ over and then promptly flipping into the muck as he was sent packing by Sabini.

Daniel Paredes Da Silva began the action with an open to 3,300 from middle position. Fabian Rolli called from the cutoff, and David Mcphail came along with a call from the big blind.
Mcphail checked on the 7♦7♥3♦ flop and Paredes Da Silva continued for 2,500. Rolli called before Mcphail chose to raise it to 15,000. Paredes Da Silva folded, and Rolli elected to jam for his final 19,300. Mcphail called and sent the two players to a showdown.
Fabian Rolli: K♣K♥
David Mcphail: 8♣7♠
Rolli's kings were on life support against Mcphail's trip sevens. Rolli did not find an escape hatch, as Mcphail improved to a four of a kind when the Q♣ turn and the 7♣ river came out to eliminate Rolli.

In another pre-flop raising battle, all the spondula was in the middle between Ralph Roxas in early position and Carlos Ramirez in late position, and it was Ramirez at risk.
Carlos Ramirez: A♣J♦
Ralph Roxas: Q♠K♣
Ramirez soared ahead on the A♦J♠K♠6♦ flop, but Roxas still had outs. The 6♦ on the turn wasn't one of them, and when the Q♥ came on the river, it did make him two pair, but Ramirez had a better two pair and received a full double up.

An all-in clash occurred between Johsua Wedell and James Smith when the two players put their chips in preflop with Wedell at risk.
Joshua Wedell: A♠J♣
James Smith: A♥K♦
Smith had Wedell dominated, but the flop reversed their positions when it came J♦10♥A♦. Smith was unable to regain the lead when the 8♦ turn and the 4♠ river came out to double Wedell.
"That wasn't fun," said Smith after the loss.

The chips went in preflop when Masataka Setoguchi went all-in for his final 18,500 and was at risk against John Clements, who had him covered.
Masataka Setoguchi: 8♥8♦
John Clements: 10♦10♣
Setoguchi found one of his two immediate outs when the flop fanned out 9♥3♠8♠. His hand held when the K♥ turn and the 9♠ river improved him to a full house.

Barry Fleishman raised to 4,500 from middle position only to see Sikander Rajwade three-bet all in from late position for his last 16,800. Brent Lee in the small blind four-bet jammed all in for 41,000. Fleishman went into the tank and eventually folded.
Sikander Rajwade: A♦Q♦
Brent Lee: J♦J♣
No help for Rajwade on the 4♦8♥9♣ flop and when the J♥ came on the turn to give Lee a set, it also gave Rajwade a gutshot straight draw to stay alive, but no miracle when the Q♥ came on the river and Rajwade was sent to the rail.
