Zhang Shoves and Wins

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Zhihao Zhang moved all in from under the gun for 20,300 and a player on the button called all-in for just a few hundred less.

Zhang: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Zhang eliminated his opponent while moving to over 40,000 in chips.

Jansen Ousts Two

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Three players got it all in preflop, with a player under the gun ripping in about 21,000, Jeff Jansen calling in middle position, and the big blind calling off her stack of about 10,000.

Big blind: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Under the gun: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Jansen: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Players at the table complimented the big blind on her call, but the {5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs} runout sent the pot to Jansen, who scored a double knockout.

Ace-King Taketh Away

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jeff Chapman
Jeff Chapman

Jeff Chapman just doubled up and nearly busted an opponent with {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} on a board of {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}. We didn't see when the money went in, but Chapman's opponent had {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} in front of him as 22,600 was counted out from his stack to be sent to Chapman.

At another table, David Huertas busted with {a-}{k-} against a player who made a pair of nines with {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Piles for Nevius

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 200 ante
Steve Nevius
Steve Nevius

We found Steve Nevius in the small blind, putting an opponent at risk for around 10,000 on a board of {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Nevius held {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for queens up, and his opponent had {q-}{10-} and was in need of help in the form of an eight or a ten. The {j-Diamonds} river missed him, and Nevius appears to be the chip leader at this early juncture.
