Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Short-stack Samuel Albeck moved all in from under the gun for 38,000, and Slade Fisher repotted it from the button, forcing out the rest of the table.

Samuel Albeck: Q♥J♣9♣8♦ All in
Slade Fisher: K♠K♣9♠5♣

Albeck looked in trouble versus Fisher's pocket kings, and the A♠Q♣4♦ flop only provided him with a pair of queens. The 7♦ turn was a brick, but the Q♦ rolled off on the river to give Albeck trip queens and the double-up.

Patrick Kennedy: A♠A♣4♦4♠

Kennedy held with his aces on the 2♠Q♦8♦A♥4♣ runout despite Boyko flopping a wrap and the nut-flush draw. Boyko was sent to the rail in 13th place while Kennedy continued to extend his lead over the rest of the field.
