Justin Vaysman: A♥A♦

There was no help to be found on the runout of 7♥5♦7♣Q♦10♦ board, and Vaysman pulled in another pot as well as collecting another bounty.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Fikret Kovac opened the action up under the gun with a raise to 6,000. Alisson Piekazewicz then shoved from middle position and counted out his stack while waiting for a caller. "47.2," he announced right as Aleem Kanji reshoved from the big blind. Frustratedly, Kovac folded K♠Q♠ face up.

Alisson Piekazewicz: A♠K♦ All in
Aleem Kanji: Q♥Q♣

Piekazewicz was looking for high cards, but the only one he could find gave his opponent top set on the 4♥7♦9♣10♠Q♦ runout. Kanji picked up his second bounty of the afternoon.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

John Hemme opened the button and Scott Eskenazi jammed for around 55,000 from the small blind. Hemme quickly called.

Scott Eskenazi: K♣J♣ All in
john Hemme :A♦Q♦

Eskenazi was behind to the ace-high of Hemme, but he did have two live cards. The K♥J♠10♦ flop gave Eskenazi top two pair and Hemme the nuts. The 9♠ turn didn't change anything, but the J♦ on the river improved Eskenazi to a boat, keeping him in the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Scott Eskenazi	115,000 92,900	92,900

john Hemme	90,000

Brad Owen: Q♦3♥ All in
Ryan Riess: A♦K♥

Riess flopped two pair on 7♥K♣7♣J♠8♠ and sent Owen to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Amy Patel found herself all in and up against it as she was off to a runout against the big slick of Brad Gerstner.

Amy Patel: Q♣9♣ All in
Brad Gerstner: A♣K♠

The 10♣6♥6♠ runout helped her none, but the J♠ was one of the better turn cards for her to see, as she became open-ended. She couldn't find one of her many outs as the river 4♣ came clean for Gerstner, who has now locked up his second $3,000 bounty.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ori Hasson open-shoved his remaining 29,000 chips from middle position. Paul Newey in the cutoff got a count before reshoving his 180,000 stack. Everyone else got out of the way.

Ori Hasson: 10♠10♣ All in
Paul Newey: A♦Q♠

Hasson didn't fade overcards, but he did fade the important ones as the 5♥K♣8♣8♦3♦ river got him just back above starting.
