Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Robert Kim opened from under the gun and was called by Nan Min in the big blind.

On the K♥9♥7♥ flop, Min checked to Kim who bet 12,000 before Min check-jammed for a total of 27,000. Kim called.

Nan Min: A♥2♥ All in
Robert Kim: 7♠7♦

Kim had flopped button set but was behind the flopped nut flush of Min. No waiting was required as the 9♣ landed on the turn to give Kim a full house and leave Min drawing dead to the 2♠ river as she hit the rail in brutal fashion.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 6,000 from early position and Jean-Francois Alexandre called from the cutoff. Jason Wheeler three-bet to 21,000 from the button and Negreanu folded 9♣7♣. Alexandre four-bet shoved, slightly covering Wheeler who started the hand with 123,500. Wheeler snap-called and was at risk.

Jason Wheeler: K♠K♣ All in
Jean-Francois Alexandre: J♦J♣

Wheeler's kings held up on the 4♣9♥K♥3♦10♦ runout and he doubled up, leaving Alexandre with just over one big blind. Alexandre was eliminated shortly afterward.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was joined with roughly 17,000 chips in the middle with Min-Sung Lee and Eric Rabut competing for it.

A flop of 4♦6♦6♠ had already been dealt, and Rabut had checked from the small blind. Lee, playing from the hijack, continued with a bet of 12,500 before seeing Rabut check-raise all in for 67,500.

After taking a minute or so to think, Lee made the call, putting Rabut at risk.

Eric Rabut: 7♠7♥ All in
Min-Sung Lee: 9♥9♦

There was no saving grace for Rabut on the K♠ turn or 3♣ river, leaving him to say his goodbyes and exit the tournament area.

Brett Slezak

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Yingge Yan opened from early position and was called by Heitor Saraiva in the hijack, Maxwell McCurdy in the small blind, and Corey Zarnoch in the big blind.

On the 6♥5♥2♠ flop, the action checked all the way to Saraiva who put out a bet before McCurdy check-raised to 35,000. In the big blind, Zarnoch would jam all-in. It folded back to McCurdy who snap-called for his remaining 74,000 total.

Maxwell McCurdy: 5♠5♣ All in
Corey Zarnoch: 4♥3♦

It was a cooler scenario as McCurdy flopped middle set but was behind the flopped straight of Zarnoch. The board ran out 10♦9♠ as McCurdy could not find his needed board pair, and was sent to the exit in brutal fashion.

Fernandez' Two Pair No Good

Stewart Morrison

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was multiway with roughly 20,000 in the middle and the incomplete board showing 5♠4♥8♠.

When the action checked to Luis Fernandez on the button, he elected to move all in for 14,000. Both the small blind and Gregory Katayama in the cutoff called.

The dealer then provided the A♦ turn, which both active players checked.

Katayama placed a bet of 27,000 on the J♥ river, but swiftly pulled it back when the small blind player folded.

When Katayama turned his cards over, revealing A♠J♠, Fernandez sat back in his chair and laughed. He then showed that he had been rivered, turning over A♣5♣ for a worse two pair.
