Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 120,000, and then things got spicy.

Joshua Hernandez, who was short stacked, moved all in from the hijack position.

WSOP bracelet winner Peter Park peeked down at his cards, and then looked at the original raiser and over to his right at Hernandez. Following a brief pause, Park moved all in and had Hernandez covered.

The original raiser immediately folded after the players on the blinds got out of the way, leading to Hernandez and Park to table their respective hands.

Joshua Hernandez: Q♣10♣ All in
Peter Park: K♥K♣

The dealer fanned 7♣5♥4♥ on the board, keeping Park safely ahead. The 2♣ on the turn, however, provided a scare card because Hernandez suddenly picked up a flush draw.

The 4♠ on the river gave Park the winning hand and sent Hernandez to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Peter Park	3,750,000 2,925,000	2,925,000

The J♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Kim sized up to 325,000.

The 2♠ river saw Kim empty the clip, moving all in for 900,000. Meeks thought for some time before tossing his cards into the muck. Kim flashed the A♠ to the table as he raked in the pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Timur Margolin raised to 160,000 from middle position and David Welch moved all in for roughly 1,000,000 in the seat next to him. Margolin mulled over his decision for quite a while before eventually electing to call.

David Welch: A♦J♦ All in
Timur Margolin: K♦Q♠

Welch earned the full double up on the 8♠2♣K♠A♣J♣ runout as his pair of aces trumped the pair of kings for Margolin.
