Heads-up to the 9♠7♦4♦8♠ turn, Christopher Trang and John Hennigan invested 70,000 each and that brought them to the J♠ river. Both players checked and Trang announced a set of jacks. It was no good, however, as Hennigan briefly flashed AxKx10x9x for a straight to win the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Siddharth Gandhi opened to 17,000 preflop and was called only by Josh Arieh to see a flop of 7♦2♣Q♦.

Gandhi led out for a pot bet of 47,000 and Arieh thought about it for a few seconds before he made the call to see the 10♦ on the turn.

Gandhi then moved all in and Arieh quickly snapped him off to put him at risk of elimination.

Siddharth Gandhi: A♠A♥K♦4♥
Josh Arieh: 10♣8♠7♣6♣

Arieh was already ahead with his turned two-pair and the river K♦ did not improve Handhit and he was eliminated early on.

"How can you even call on the flop??" he questioned Arieh.

"Whatchu mean?! I had a pair! Two pair draw!" Arieh and the remaining players shared a laugh as he stacked his chips and Gandhi made his way to the exit.

Picking up the action on a multi-way flop of A♦10♠9♠, Biao Ding jammed out of the small blind and Artem Maksimov went all-in over the top from under the gun. Anthony Zinno on the button had invested 30,000 by then and folded.

Biao Ding: A♠10♥7♠4♥
Artem Maksimov: A♣A♥J♠9♦

The 10♦ turn left Ding with a single out and the Q♣ river brought no miracle escape.

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Yang Wang on the button who opened to 15,000. The small blind folded and Michael Devinsky defended his big blind.

The A♠Q♦J♣ flop hit the felt and action checked through. The K♣ landed on the turn and Devinsky opted to lead for 20,000. Yang quickly called.

The river landed a relative brick in the 8♠ and Devinsky took a moment before betting close to pot at 65,000. Yang thought it over but eventually sent his cards to the muck.
