John Gallenberg raised to 100,000 in middle position and Matt Affleck three-bet to 535,000 in the big blind, leaving himself with just 25,000 back. Gallenberg made the call.

The flop came 7♣10♣9♦, Affleck tossed the rest of his chips into the pot, and Gallenberg quickly called.

Matt Affleck: Q♣Q♥ All in
John Gallenberg: 4♣4♠

Affleck was in great shape to double up, but the 8♦ turn and 6♥ river put a straight on the board, resulting in a chop.

Two Gone for Kahn

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Yannick Capocetti raised to 135,000 from middle position. Martin Mccloskey went all-in for 205,000 from the hijack. Dylan Kahn responded with a three-bet to 285,000 on the button. Capocetti opted to do a four-bet all-in and was snap-called by Kahn as Mccloskey and Capocetti were at risk.

Martin Mccloskey: J♥J♣All in
Yannick Capocetti: Q♥Q♣All in
Dylan Kahn: A♠A♣

It was pairs everywhere as Kahn had the best of it with his aces.

It was all Kahn on the flop of 8♣2♥A♦ as he improved to top set to all but close the door on his opponents.

The 2♣ turn sealed the deal, making the 10♦ river inconsequential as Kahn secured the double knockout.

Richard Tuhrim raised to 65,000 from middle position before Scott Stewart re-raised to 175,000 from the cutoff. Tuhrim stuck around with a call.

The 9♠A♦7♦ flop led to a check from Tuhrim. Stewart continued for 120,000 and was called.

Tuhrim checked again on the 4♣ turn, which led to a bet of 310,000 from Stewart.

Tuhrim gave it considerable thought before he chose to fold as Stewart took it down without a showdown.

Chun Kwan opened to 60,000 from early position. Alexander Guerriero went all-in for 945,000 on the button in response. Bo Chen made the call out of the big blind, while Kwan made the fold to send Guerrierio and Chen to a showdown with Guerriero at risk.

Alexander Guerriero: A♣J♣All in
Bo Chen: 3♦3♣

Guerriero was behind, but the flop gave him additional outs when it came 5♦K♣5♣.

Guerriero spiked an ace on the A♦ turn to pull well ahead with one card to go.

The Q♦ completed the board and awarded Guerriero the double-up.

Richard Tuhrim opened to 65,000 from under the gun and Ignacio Sole called from the cutoff. Jason Wheeler three-bet to 215,000 on the button and only Sole called.

The 6♥3♠7♥ flop saw Sole check, Wheeler bet 140,000 and Sole jam for his last 710,000. Wheeler snap called for his last 630,000 and the pair tabled their cards.

Jason Wheeler: A♥A♠All in
Ignacio Sole: 10♣10♦

Wheeler was behind, but the 10♠ turn saw Sole take the lead. There was no coming back for Wheeler and he hit the rail just after the first break of the day after seeing the 2♠ fall on the river.
