Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ioannis Angelou Konstas was spotted chatting with Nikolaos Lampropoulos one table over and his former seat had no more chips left. He confirmed that Jarryd Godena scored the knockout, who then took on Alejandro Jauregui. In three-way action to the K♥5♣2♣ flop, Jauregui bet 10,000 and Godena was the only caller.

They checked the 9♦ turn and Jauregui also checked the A♠ on the river. Godena bet 20,000 and won the pot without showdown.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In one of the last hands of the night, three players headed to a flop of K♥Q♦2♦. The action checked to Michael Wang in the hijack who threw in a bet of 13,000. Jonathan Greene called from the small blind and they went heads-up to the 6♣ on the turn.

Greene checked again and Wang fired out a large bet of 45,000. Greene thought for nearly a minute before dumping his cards into the muck, sending the pot to Wang.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Over on table 95, another player was eliminated right before the floor staff announced the final hands for the night and than happened to be Matthew Smith.

"What happened?" Eric Wang asked and Amir Sahebdivani replied "bet, bet, bet" while nodding towards Alejandro Jauregui. The K♥J♦3♦4♣A♥ board had seen the larger stack barrel with Q♦J♣10♦10♠ for the straight and flush draw which made broadway. Smith called down with the K♠K♣10♣8♣ for a set of kings to hit the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Shrey Maheshwary made it 5,500 from middle position with Eric Cloutier calling from the next seat. Philip Shing three-bet to 25,000 from the button before Maheshwary potted it back with the covering stack. Cloutier frustratingly folded, but Shing called for his last 35,000.

Philip Shing: A♦K♦K♣6♣ All in
Shrey Maheshwary: A♥A♣10♣7♥

Maheshwary had aces against the kings of Shing. The board ran out 9♠2♠3♥8♠8♣, keeping Maheshwary's aces in the lead the whole way. The pot was pushed to Maheshwary, and Shing was out.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On the rail end of the 8♦2♠2♣K♣5♣ board, Yuriy Boyko had checked and Kurstis Tinfow jammed for 57,000. Deep in the tank, the clock was called on Boyko and he eventually called within the 30 second countdown.

Tinfow tabled the A♥5♦4♦2♥ for a full house and Boyko's A♦J♥J♣7♥ were briefly exposed. Boyko had 2,000 chips left, won the next all-in but busted in the final hand of the night.
