Level 16 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Ben Lamb raised from middle position with Brandon Shack-Harris calling on the button, and Matthew Beinner defending his big blind.

After Beinner checked the 9♦4♥3♥ flop, Lamb bet, and only Shack-Harris called with just 1,000 behind.

Lamb bet the A♥ turn, and Shack-Harris called for his last chip.

Brandon Shack-Harris: A♣7♥2♠2♣ All in
Ben Lamb: A♠K♠8♣5♣

Shack-Harris had a seven-four low, and Lamb had aces with a king-kicker for the high. However, the river was the 5♦, which meant Shack-Harris improved to a wheel to scoop and double-up.

After getting quartered in the previous hand, Brad Owen got the last of his chips into the middle from the small blind, and Daniel Spear tried to bust him from the big blind.

Brad Owen: K♦7♥2♦2♣ All in
Daniel Spear: A♦K♥Q♦J♦

The flop came A♠9♣4♠ to put Spear in the lead with top pair. The 9♦ on the turn meant Owen needed a deuce on the river to scoop, or a low card to chop the pot. However, the river was the K♣, and Owen was out of the tournament.
