Lynskey Shoves the River
Level 12
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Janet Wyvill opened to 10,000 in middle position and Lauren Gabriel called in the cutoff. Alex Lynskey then three-bet to 33,000 on the button, with Wyvill calling and Gabriel getting out of the way.
Wyvill checked the 9♣5♠9♠ flop and Lynskey continued for 16,000. The call was made to the 2♣ turn, where both players checked.
The dealer flipped over the 2♠ river and Wyvill led out for 17,000. Lynskey took a minute before announcing all in. "I knew you were going to do that," said Wyvill.
After a few moments, Wyvill found the fold and Lynskey raked in the pot.

Dong More Than Doubles
Level 12
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nelson Dong opened to 10,000 in early position, finding calls from Moe Azizan in the cutoff and Martin Stewart on the button. Josh Baraba also came along in the small blind.
Sunia Fonua was next to act in the big blind, and he moved all in for 47,500. Dong responded by shoving his stack of 117,000 into the middle, followed by Azizan who covered them both. Stewart and Baraba both got out of the way and the hands were turned up.
Sunia Fonua: K♠9♦ 
Nelson Dong: Q♥Q♦
Moe Azizan: 7♣7♦
Dong's pocket queens held through the 10♥6♥5♦2♣9♣ runout, more than doubling his stack while eliminating Fonua.

Ray Badaoui: A♣K♥
Zheng Zhang: A♠10♠

Ragozzini Chipping Up
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After reentering at the end of late registration, Sean Ragozzini opened to 8,000 from the hijack and was called by Sunia Fonua, who defended his big blind.
Fonua checked the J♣3♠6♥ flop and called when Ragozzini continued for 7,000. Another check from Fonua followed the 8♠ turn, with Ragozzini firing again for 21,000.
Fonua took one last look at his cards before sliding them to the dealer, as Ragozzini added more chips to his stack.
