Ollie Garland

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Kavin Shah raised to 270,000 from early position and Yasheel Doddanavar defended in the big blind.

Doddanavar check-called a bet of 200,000 from Shah on the 2♠2♣6♣ flop.

The A♣ turn and the 7♥ run out checked to a showdown. Doddanavar tabled 10♣8♣ for a turned flush; more than good enough to take down this pot.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Juan Carlos Vecino moved all in from the small blind and short-stacked Huihan Wu called to put himself at risk.

Huihan Wu: K♦Q♦ All in
Juan Carlos Vecino: 10♠7♥

Wu went into this fight in the lead, but the flop of 9♠J♥7♠ gave Vecino the lead with a pair of sevens. The runout of 3♠5♥ failed to help Wu and he was eliminated in 11th place on the final table bubble.
