Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a board of K♠8♦7♣10♦ with roughly 34,000 in the pot, Cedric Schwaederle in the small blind moved all-in for 29,500. Matthew Russell on the button went deep into the tank but eventually made the call.

Cedric Schwaederle: A♥A♠ All in
Matthew Russell: J♠10♣

"No... But I still have outs," Russell said when he saw Schwaederle's aces. The 3♣ river however was no help for Russell and Schwaederle secured a double up.

Dan O'Hair

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Francois Safieddine was already all in for approximately 41,000 preflop from the big blind against David Moses, who had Safieddine slightly covered from early position.

Francois Safieddine: A♦J♣ All in
David Moses: A♥A♠

It was the worst possible scenario for Safieddine, and the 2♦4♣Q♥5♦J♠ runout kept Moses's aces best to eliminate Safieddine from the Main Event.

David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Simon Britton, Ruben Correia, and Czesy Rudnicki went to the turn on a board of 4♦2♣5♦6♥ when Correia bet 5,000 from under the gun. Rudnicki called in middle position before Britton raised to 14,000 in the hijack.

Correia came back with an all-in shove for 48,600, and Rudnicki also moved all in for his last 35,000.

"What the f**k? What is that?" a stunned Britton yelled out as he asked for a count of the stacks. A large crowd began to gather around the table, while some players at the table, including Michael Mizrachi, began to film the action. Britton eventually called.

Correia had A♦3♦ for a straight, while Britton also had the straight with 3♠3♥. Rudnicki needed to improve with 7♦7♥ but missed the 9♣ river as he headed to the rail, while Correia and Britton chopped the pot.

"That was stressful," Britton said.
