Jorge Ufano

Jorge Ufano raised from the cutoff and called a three-bet from Ni Hansen, who was on the button.

Ufano check-raised a bet from Hansen on the 573 flop and Hansen called.

The 3 fell on the turn and Ufano bet. Hansen raised to put Ufano all in and Ufano called.

Jorge Ufano: KJAll in
Ni Hansen: 1010

Ufano had turned a flush, but needed to fade Hansen's full house outs to survive and double up.

The 9 river did the trick for Ufano and doubled his stack.

"You are like a cockroach!" Tsz Liu said from across the table. "It's a good thing! I've seen you all in like three or four times!"

Yuxi Huang
Yuxi Huang

After being left short in a previous hand Yuxi Huang, sat in the small blind, put in a raise and Dara Taherpour, sat in the big blind, put in the two-bet, which was enough to put Huang all in, who snap-called.

Yuxi Huang: A6 All in
Dara Taherpour: Q6

Huang had Taherpour dominated and was looking good for a double to stay alive. The poker Gods had different ideas however when they served up the 95Q flop to send Taherpour into the lead.

No re-draw for Huang on the K turn nor the 8x river and she was sent to the rail.

Christopher Adams and Randy Larson were also eliminated on different tables.
