Fabio Desousa raised to 16,000 and it folded to Peter Martin who shoved in the small blind for a stack around 60,000. Mark Gordon called all in next to him for slightly less and Desousa let it go:

Mark Gordon: A♦A♠ All in
Peter Martin: K♥Q♥

Gordon found no bad surprise throughout the 5♣7♠3♠8♠9♠ and he doubled up while Martin was left with only 5,000 chips left and busted a few minutes later.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jason Okrzesik found himself on the wrong end of one of No-Limit Hold'em’s most classic preflop confrontations. It began when Dhanesh Chainani raised to 16,000 from under the gun, and Okrzesik responded with a three-bet to 40,000 from middle position. Action folded back around to Chainani, who moved all in with Okrzesik well covered. After some thought, Okrzesik committed his remaining 110,000 and was at risk.

Jason Okrzesik: A♦K♣ All in
Dhanesh Chainani: Q♥Q♦

The dealer ran out a board of K♥7♥Q♣6♠4♥, sending Okrzesik to the payout desk.

Dhanesh Chainani	420,000 179,000	179,000

Henegar Hits the River

Jacob Wilson

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jordan Henegar found himself all in and at risk preflop, off to the races with Chongxian Yang.

Jordan Henegar: Q♥J♥ All in
Chongxian Yang: A♥10♠

Yang stayed in the lead on the 10♣3♣K♣ flop, but it wasn't without a sweat as Henegar could go ahead with any non-pairing card above an eight. The river K♥ bricked, but the 9♠ on the river gave him a straight, as he doubled to stay alive.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chongxian Yang	147,000 28,000	28,000
Jordan Henegar	100,000 72,000	72,000

Olga Iermolcheva open-shoved all in with her remaining stack of 28,000. Peng Jiang on the button decided to call for 33,000. In the small blind, Mudit Malhotra asked for a count of Jiang and decided to call.

Olga Iermolcheva: A♥8♥ All in
Peng Jiang; A♥Q♠ All in
Mudit Malhotra: A♣9♣

The dealer ran out the board 9♦Q♦5♦J♣K♥. Unfortunately for Iermolcheva, her cards didn't improve and she was sent to the payout desk. Jiang took all the chips from the middle of the table.

John Maida shoved under the gun for his last 14,000 and Kyle Varwig reshoved. It folded to Suresh Mankani who called all in in the small blind for a stack of 24,000 and they tabled their cards:

John Maida: A♦A♥ All in
Suresh Mankani: A♠10♦ All in
Kyle Varwig: A♣K♣

The board brought no surprise with 9♠J♥3♦Q♦2♥ and Maida tripled up while Mankani joined the exit.
