Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gaston Martinez raised to 160,000 in the hijack before James Tsou moved all in for 870,000 in the small blind. Aloisio Dourado reshoved in the big blind and Martinez tanked for a minute before folding.

James Tsou: A8 All in
Aloisio Dourado: QQ

Tsou was trailing Dourado's queens as the flop came 755. The 8 turn left him a card away from elimination, but Tsou spiked the A on the river to win the pot and double up.

Lightbourne Calls the Clock on Himself

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Iaron Lightbourne
Iaron Lightbourne

Iaron Lightbourne peeked at his cards then looked at who was in the big blind and saw Stephen Song.

"It's more for you," said Lightbourne as he made it 200,000 to go.

Once it folded to Song, he made the call.

They saw a monotone flop of A3K where Song checked, Lightbourne bet 80,000, and Song made it 300,000. Lightbourne hadn't seen the raise of Song and jokingly called the clock, not knowing that he was calling the clock on himself. The floor came over to give the countdown when Lightbourne finally realized.

"You're calling the clock on yourself?" asked Song.

"Oh what. You raised?" replied Lightbourne as he saw the raise of Song in the pot, then folded his hand.

"Let me pick one!" Matuschek requested.

Shi Eliminated by Sanchez

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dian Shi was already all-in preflop and looked up by Francisco Sanchez as well as Jordan Griff. The two active players checked down the Q99K7 runout and Shi tabled his AQ for queens and nines. Sanchez had that beat with the AK and the JJ of Griff were no good either for Sanchez to score the early knockout.
