Sava Krink

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action was picked up with three players already all in preflop and their cards tabled.

Joe Warling: J♠J♣ All in
Carlos Suarez: A♠K♣ All in
Kenneth O’Donnell: K♥J♥

Warling was ahead with pocket jacks, hoping to dodge the overcards. With two kings already out of the deck, his chances of surviving were looking solid.

The board ran out 7♠2♠Q♥3♥9♦, clean for Warling, who secured a full triple-up. Meanwhile, Kenneth O’Donnell doubled up what was left of Suarez’s stack.

Keeping Hoppe Alive

Jerome Solomon

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Sitting on the button, Laura Hoppe had the shortest stack in a three-way, preflop all in.

George Medina moved in with a shove of his own from the small blind. Vahe Terkhachatryan, the first to raise from middle position, called Medina's all in.

Laura Hoppe: Q♣Q♠ All in
George Medina: A♥K♦ All in
Vahe Terkhachatryan: A♠A♦

The runout Q♥8♦4♥5♠J♦ drew a scream from Hoppe, who spiked a set of queens on the flop, and it held. Terkhachatryan took the side pot to knock Medina out of the tournament.

"Oh, my god. I can't believe I cracked aces," Hoppe screamed.

Vahe Terkhachatryan	2,255,000 1,510,000	1,510,000

Abraham Faroni raised to 400,000 on the button. Nghia Le made the all-in call with less.

Nghia Le: 5♦4♦ All in
Abraham Faroni: J♥9♣

The runout of 4♣J♣10♦K♦K♣ didn't rescue Le, and he exited in 154th place, two spots from a pay jump.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Nick Vazquez

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Arkadiusz Rusak moved all in from early position. Action folded to Brian Malik in the big blind, who said, "If it's suited, I'll call." He then stuck in calling chips.

Arkadiusz Rusak: Q♥9♦ All in
Brian Malik: J♣7♣

The board of J♠9♠5♠ gave Malik the lead. Rusak then gained the lead back with the Q♦ turn, but the J♦ hit the river to give Malik trips.
