Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A short stack put them selves at risk and Yifei Yang and the middle position also got the rest of their chips into the pot. The short stack had two live cards and it appeared the two bigger stacks were tied.

Short Stack: J♥8♥
Middle Position: A♦K♦
Yifei Yang: A♣K♣

The flop gave the short stack a straight draw as it spread 2♣10♥7♣ and it also gave Yang the nut club draw. The turn was an inconsequential 6♦ but when the 4♣ rolled off the deck, the middle position player was audibly frustrated as he asked what he owed.

Yang had only 80,000 chips coming back from dinner and is on quite the spin.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Before the flop, Jonathan Akiba was all in for 543,000 and two smaller stacks did the same to put themselves at risk.

Player 1: A♣Q♥
Player 2: A♦Q♦
Jonathan Akiba: A♠A♥

Akiba was in terrific shape to score a double knockout in this situation, and the board runout found him worthy as it came 7♠4♠3♥6♣2♦ and both of his opponents granted him their bounties.

Pardy Experience: A Ten

Claudio Elizalde

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jon Pardy went all in for about 600,000 over a raise in front of him,a short stacked Alexandre Mantovani called, and the raiser folded. Mantovani joked, "I have quad fives!", as he turned over his hand.

Alexandre Mantovani: K♣5♣
Jon Pardy: 10♦10♠

The flop was no sweat as it came out Q♥3♠3♦. Just as Mantovani tried to get out of his chair for luck, the opposite happened, as the 10♥ peeled the turn, locking up the hand for Pardy as the river rolled off needlessly.

Mantovani graciously offered his table mates good luck and an 'until next time'.
