Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Players were already heads-up on the 7♥5♥3♥ flop with a pot of around 40,000. Paul Douglass moved all in for his remaining 28,500 and action was on Daemon Richardson to make the call or fold.

Richardson moved chips over the line and the players flipped their cards. Richardson went first and said, "I don't even know what I am up against" as he waited for Douglass to show his hand, not realising he has been called.

Paul Douglass: 10♥10♠ All in
Daemon Richardson: K♠K♥

Richardson was ahead, and things stayed that way on the 9♣ turn and 8♦ river, sending Douglass home.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Mark Spradlin raised it up from under the gun and Brandon Takao shipped all in for roughly 13,000 in middle position. The action folded back to Spradlin who quickly called to put Takao at risk.

Brandon Takao: A♦K♦ All in
Mark Spradlin: A♠A♣

The flop came 9♦8♥5♦ and Takao picked up a flush draw against Spradlin's pocket aces. The 9♣ on the turn and the 7♥ on the river were no help to Takao who was bounced from the Main Event.
