Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Rehman Kassam moved all in for 465,000 on the button and Michele Tocci called in the big blind.
Rehman Kassam: A♥J♦
Michele Tocci: A♠10♥
Kassam had Tocci dominated and was a favorite to double up as the board ran out 7♣3♠Q♦5♥2♥, earning him the pot and keeping his tournament hopes alive.
At the same time at another table, three players went to the river on a board of 10♣9♣8♠J♥J♣ when Martin Guerrero led out for 325,000 in the small blind. Maria Lampropulos called in the big blind, while Nils Pudel folded in middle position.
Guerrero then showed 8♥8♦ for a full house and Lampropulos mucked to leave her on a short stack.
