Ladies Help Arduini Surge Up the Chip Counts

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bernhard Binder got his final 80,000 into the middle preflop with Lorenzo Arduini making the call to try and send him home.

Bernhard Binder: JJ All in
Lorenzo Arduini: QQ

Binder needed to bink a jack if he was to survive in the event. However, the runout of 735K6 didn't help Binder and Arduini's queens held up, sending Binder to the rail.

Scobai Gets Aces

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a board of 6JK3 with around 50,000 in the pot, Ion-Silviu Scobai shoved his remaining stack of over 20,000 into the pot, and Saleh Assi flicked in the call.

Ion-Silviu Scobai: AA All in
Saleh Assi: QJ

Scobai's stack had been up and down all day and he was in a good spot to scoop this pot. Only a queen or a jack on the river would see Assi eliminate Scobai, instead the 2 rolled off, which gave Scobai the pot.
