Somekh Doubles; Bennani-Smires Busts

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Solomon Somekh was all in and at risk for 306,000 with the {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Edgar Drozdov looked him up with the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The board came {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Somekh found the ace to double.

One table over, Naoufel Bennani-Smires moved all in for what looked like 353,000 and the action folded to Yuriy Boyko in the small blind. He put up his sunglasses and stared over at the other side of the table before eventually moving all in himself. The big blind folded and the cards were tabled.

Naoufel Bennani-Smires: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Yuriy Boyko: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

"I know I am supposed to fold, but I can't," Boyko admitted and improved on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Both the {6-Hearts} turn and {6-Clubs} river failed to improve Bennani-Smires and he was knocked out just shy of making Day 3.
