There were roughly 7,000 chips in the pot on 4♥K♠9♦, Giovanny Rodriguez Ocampo bet 2,100 from the cutoff, James Pines called in the big blind, and Xiaoqiang Yuan folded from early position.

Ocampo fired another bet of 5,000 when the A♥ hit the turn, Pines called. Pines decided to lead for 25,000 when the K♦ hit the river and put Ocampo is a very tough spot as he only has 13,000 behind. Ocampo went deep into the tank before he eventually folded.

A player asked if it was a bluff and Pines tabled A♦A♠.

With two players seeing a board of Q♥Q♦5♥A♦ and around 50,000 in the middle, Maninder Kaintyura checked from under the gun and Gregory Sly shoved for 28,900 from middle position. Kaintyura went into the tank for a couple minutes before calling with a covering stack.

Gregory Sly: A♥A♣ All in
Maninder Kaintyura: K♥K♠

Sly had aces full of queens leaving Kaintyura drawing dead with his pocket kings and after the 8♣ river fell Sly secured a colossal double up.

According to a player at the table, Kaintyura had limped preflop, Sly had raised to 900 and Kaintyuri liimp-raised to 3,200. Sly four-bet and Kaintyuri called. Sly then bet 12,000 on the flop and Kaintyuri called again leading to the eventual all-in collision on the turn.

Puri Talks Himself Out of the Tournament

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was joined as Shawn Puri and Mohamed Mamouni were locked in battle in a four-bet pot.

The full board had already been delivered by the dealer, showing 10♠4♥8♥10♣7♠, and there was roughly 43,500 in the pot.

Puri had put out a bet of 26,000, which was met by an all-in by Mamouni, totalling 36,900. Puri had just 9,400 left, meaning a call would put his tournament life at risk.

"Write it down", Puri said to PokerNews, "I'm going to bust".

The tortured Puri went back and forth, deciding what to do. Ultimately, he decided he was getting too good a price and made the call.

The bad news was immediate as Mamouni turned over 9♥6♥ for a rivered straight. Puri revealedK♠K♦, and, after taking a minute to come to terms with the circumstances, he said his goodbyes to the table.
