Robinson's Kicker Plays Against Berman

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Richard Robinson moved all in for his last 535,000, and Eric Berman re-shoved from one seat over with more than twice as many chips. Everyone else got out of the way, and the cards were flipped over.

Richard Robinson: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Eric Berman: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Robinson was ahead and retained the lead on the {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop. The {J-Diamonds} turn gave Robinson a pair of jacks, but Berman picked up a flush draw. The blank {K-Spades} on the river was no help for Berman, and Robinson doubled.

Lafleur Joins the Rail

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Sammy Lafleur moved all in for just under one million in chips, and the action folded to Renato Prado Valentim in the big blind, who called.

Sammy Lafleur: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Renato Prado Valentim: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Lafleur seemed poised for a comeback after improving to trip kings on the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, but that soon vanished when the {10-Spades} appeared on the turn. The blank {9-Diamonds} on the river sealed Lafleur's fate, and he was eliminated.

"Would you have called if I shove?" Joseph Michael, in the small blind, asked while Valentim raked in the pot, and he nodded back to Michael.
