Marc Fiorentino opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from the hijack, and after it folded to the big blind Robert Natividad, he made the call.

After the flop came AQ9 Natividad checked to Fiorentino, who bet out 16,000. Natividad then raised to 55,000, and Fiorentino three-bet to put Natividad all in for his stack of 171,000. Natividad wasted no time and put in the chips to call.

Robert Natividad: KJ All in
Marc Fiorentino: A9

It was an action flop with Fiorentino ahead with his two pair, but Natividad had straight draw and flush draw. Once the turn came the 10 , and river 10 Natividad had the best hand with a straight, to take the massive pot.

A few hands later Fiorentino was seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated.

Cho Out Kicks Nguyen To Double Up

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sungmi Cho raised to 9,000 from the hijack, and was called by Robert Nguyen in the cutoff.

After the 724 flop, Nguyen called a bet of 12,000 from Cho.

The turn brought the K and Cho fired out 22,000, before Nguyen raised him all in, for his stack of 119,000. After sitting in the tank, Cho made the call to put his tournament at risk.

Sungmi Cho: KQ All in
Robert Nguyen: KJ

As soon as Cho made the call, Nguyen grimaced knowing he had kicker problems. Once the river was the 8, Cho still had the best hand and secured the double up.
