Kenta Ito had 21,000 in the middle in the small blind before Peter Moore bet enough to put his opponent all in. Ito took some time before making the call and was at risk.
Kenta Ito: 10♠10♣
Peter Moore: A♥K♦
Ito was flipping with his pair of tens, and Moore picked up some additional counterfeit outs on the J♠Q♣Q♥ flop. The 8♥ turn and 2♣ river were bricks, as Ito won the flip to double his stack.
Action folded around to Pierce Hynes on the button, who moved all in against two short stacks in the blinds. Travis Endersby took some time in the small blind before making the call. He was at risk heads up after the big blind mucked.
Travis Endersby: A♦2♣
Pierce Hynes: A♥Q♣
The 9♠8♥9♦ brought Endersby some chop opportunities, but the 6♥ turn and A♠ river were no help as he hit the rail midway through Level 11.
Harry Basle opened to 8,000 from under the gun and found calls from Daniel Embleton on the button and Louis Luo in the small blind.
All three players checked after seeing the 10♠A♦7♠ flop. The dealer revealed the 5♦ turn and Luo led out for 12,000, with Basle calling and Embelton folding.
The 4♦ river saw Luo slow down with a check, while Basle checked back.
"Queens?" asked Embleton after Luo tabled J♥10♦ for a pair of tens. Basle grinned as he flipped over Q♠Q♣ to take the pot. "Yeah, it looked like queens," said Embleton.

Steven Marrone opened to 6,000 in the cutoff and was called by Michael O'Grady in the small blind. Amin Riyazati then announced a raise to 32,000m with Marrone quickly folding.
O'Grady took some time before telling Riyazati "I'll gamble with you." The chips hit the middle and the cards were turned up.
Michael O'Grady: 10♥7♦
Amin Riyazati: A♥J♦
Riyazati found Broadway on the K♣Q♣6♠10♦2♠ runout, sending O'Grady to the rail.
