Double Knockout For Jaber
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action checked to Noel Jaber on the 4♠J♣5♠ flop, who bet moved all in from middle position. Navjeevan Mahajan committed the last of his stack in the small blind, as did Slav Rypinski from under the gun.
Navjeevan Mahajan: K♠6♠ 
Slav Rypinski: K♣K♥
Noel Jaber: 5♦4♦
Jaber was ahead with two pair on the flop, looking to fade a king or spade. The 9♦ turn and 3♥ river were bricks, as Jaber scored the double knockout to build his stack.

Michael Brahim: Q♣Q♦

Williams Gets Paid
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Robert Spano opened in middle position and was called by Mark Williams in the big blind.
Both players checked the 3♥J♦3♦ flop before Williams led out for 5,000 on the 5♥ turn.
Spano called to the 8♦ river, where Williams moved all in for 15,500. Spano did not take long to toss in the call. Williams showed 10♦5♦ for a flush, while Spano said "nice hand" as he could only show K♣8♣.

Ly Spikes a Set
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Tty Ly was all in and at risk against Amin Riyazati, with the cards on their backs.
Tty Ly: 9♣9♥
Amin Riyazati: Q♣Q♥
Riyazati was in great shape to take out Ly, and the K♣2♣A♣ flop only furthered his advantage. Ly then spiked the 9♦ turn to make a set of nines, improving to a full house on the A♦ river to double up through Riyazati.
