Jeff McMillan

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was on the river as the board read 8♥K♥K♦7♦4♥. Sean Ragozzini was in the midst of a decision for his tournament life from the button as Sergi Reixach, who was in the cutoff, had bet enough to put him all in with a pot of just over 100,000 in it.

Ragozzini had about 29,000 behind and stewed it over for several moments before he folded to preserve his remaining stack.

--
A few hands later at the loaded table 634 in the gold section, Felipe Ramos took out Wesley Haymond when his QxQx busted KxJx on a board of 7xKx8x8xQx after a river shove from Haymond and snap call from Ramos.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 1,800 in middle position before Philip Beck three-bet to 6,600 in middle position. The small blind then moved all in for around 20,000, Lichtenberger folded, while Beck snap called.

All-In Player: Q♠Q♥ All in
Philip Beck: K♠K♥

Beck had woken up with kings to leave his opponent at risk of elimination as the board ran out 2♣2♠8♣A♠10♣, securing the pot for Beck and sending the small blind to the rail.

"I wasn't going to do this unless I doubled up or something," Beck said as he got up from his seat.

"Backflip?" Lichtenberger joked.

"I don't do flips. When I was in line to register on Friday, I met a sweet lady who made this. It keeps you zen," Beck added as he took a blue Origami bird figurine out of his backpack and placed it on top of his chips.

Tyler Boyer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Terry Setters raised to 3,100 from under the gun, he was called by Alejandro Herrera in the hijack, and Laurie Tournier in the small blind.

The flop came 3♥2♥3♠ and Setters bet out 6,000. Herrera made the call, and Tournier folded.

After the 7♥ on the turn, Setters bet 10,200 before Herrera raised all in for 25,000. After quickly debating his decision, Setters made the call to put Herrera at risk.

Alejandro Herrera: J♥J♣ All in
Terry Setters: A♥K♣

Herrera was ahead with his pocket jacks, but he would need to fade an ace, king, or heart to stay in the tournament. But he was unable to do so as the 8♥ hit on the river, to give Setters the nut flush, and knock Herrera out of the tournament.
