Nadav Assyag Hits To Double

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

There was an open before Nadav Assyag pushed all in for 490,000. A third player called all in for less, and the original raiser folded.

Assyag had {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and had to hit versus his opponent's {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

A runout of {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} saw Assyag spike his ace on the flop, and he was a relieved man when the final card confirmed his win and the knockout.

Keith Donovan Busts With the Unders

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Keith Donovan moved all in as play resumed after the dinner break and got one call from a player who tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

“I’ve got two unders.” Donovan quipped as he turned over his {j-Spades}{10-Spades}.

A flop of {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} gave Donovan a ray of hope, but the turn [2d and ]river {2-Spades} snuffed it out.

Matthew Davenport Doubles Through Robert Hankins

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

With about 100,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {J-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Matthew Davenport and Robert Hankins were heads-up with Davenport first to act. He bet 80,000, and Hankins moved all in to put Davenport to a decision for his stack. In fairly short order, Davenport called, and the two players tabled their hands.

Hankins held {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks, but Davenport had the lead with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The {4-Hearts} turn and {6-Clubs} river changed nothing, and Davenport doubled up.
