In Level 10 with blinds of 500/1,000 and an ante of 125, "Lond13onE" raised to 2,200 in early position and Sridhar "sri100k" Sangannagari re-shoved for 23,956 on the button. Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez was next to act in the small blind and also shoved for 30,222, resulting in "Lond13onE" letting the other two have at it.

Sridhar "sri100k" Sangannagari: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

An ace on the flop {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} was all Lopez needed to pull ahead, fading the two outer on the runout {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to earn the pot and knock out Sangannagari, though only momentarily as he quickly fired again and received a new 25K with which to get back in on the action.

In Level 5 with blinds of 200/400 and an ante of 50, John "GameofEdges" Forlenza opened the action with a raise to 880 under the gun and received calls behind from "TiltedHard" in middle position and "vigman@135" in the cutoff. Frank "thewholefunk" Funaro also called, defending his big blind to take postflop action four ways.

The flop dropped {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Funaro checked to Forlenza, who continuation-bet 2,320. "TiltedHard" called and then "vigman@135" shoved for 40,055. Only Forlenza called.

"vigman@135": {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
John "GameofEdges" Forlenza: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Forlenza's aces had run up against a flopped top two pair and no help came for him as the turn {k-Clubs} and river {3-Hearts} completed the runout to result in the pot being shipped across the table to his opponent. Forlenza was left with just 437 after the hand and was eliminated shortly thereafter.
