The board ran out {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Jones's pocket kings held for the double-up.

Luke Brereton Doubles Up

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Michael Telker raised to 225,000 in middle position, Luke Brereton three-bet shoved from the cutoff for exactly 1,000,000, John Hanna reshoved from the small blind for about 3,000,000, and Telker folded.

Brereton tabled {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and was flipping for his tournament life against Hanna's {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Brereton's pocket pair remained the best hand, so he scooped the pot for the double-up.

Erkut Yilmaz
Erkut Yilmaz

Erkut Yilmaz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}.

Mark Johnson Jr Doubles Through Telker

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Michael Telker opened the action and ended up calling a shove from Mark Johnson Jr.

Johnson Jr was all in for 1,140,000 holding {a-Spades}{10-Spades} while Tekker had the pair with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

A pretty emphatic flop with a final run out of {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} gave Johnson Jr the double-up with his spade flush.

Tom Hall moved all in for 1,125,000 and action folded to Mark Babekov who called to put Hall at risk of elimination.

Tom Hall: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Jason Orrell Gains Chips

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Raul Martinez Requena opened with a raise to 160,000, Jason Orrell called, and Alexandru Masek called all in for 135,000.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Both players checked. With the {A-Diamonds} on the turn, Requena checked, Orrell bet 250,000, and Requena proceeded to call. The {4-Clubs} on the river made Requena check again. This time, Orrell decided to bet 550,000 and Requena called again.

Orrell showed the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a set which was enough to best Requena with the {A-}{K-}.

Alexandru Masek didn't show his hand as he got up, knowing that the tournament was over for him.
