The board of Q10372 was already dealt with a pot containing around 300,000. Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi checked to Michael Jozoff who shoved for 298,000, putting Ohulchanskyi into a tough decision.

After a few minutes of thinking, Ohulchanskyi eventually called with JJ. Jozoff reluctantly showed AK for ace-high and made his way to the exit while Ohulchanskyi grabbed the big pot.

Shen Finds a Ten to Survive

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chad Brewer shoved all in for his last 50,000 from early position and Allen Shen reshoved all in for 157,000 in the cutoff. Paul Cross woke up with a hand in the big blind and called to put both players at risk.

Chad Brewer: 99
Allen Shen: 1010
Paul Cross: JJ

All three players picked up a pocket pair but it was Cross who was well out front. However, the 1064 flop put Shen in the lead with a set of tens. The 6 and 4 runout changed nothing and Shen more than doubled up while Brewer was eliminated.

Jones Doubles Through Therme

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In middle position, Daniel Jones moved all in for his remaining 52,000 chips. Jonathan Therme, seated in the hijack, decided to call, and he was the only player to do so.

Daniel Jones: K2
Jonathan Therme: QQ

Jones still had hope after the flop 8A8 as he had could still hit a king or a flush. And It was the king that appeared first on the turn K. The river 6 didn't change anything, and Jones doubled up.

Shen Busts Suttles in Five-Way Pot

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The hijack raised to 16,000, Matthew Suttles called in the cutoff, the button three-bet to 55,000, the small blind cold-called and Roland Shen in the big blind moved all in for his last 56,000.

The hijack folded, Shen called the extra 40,000 and both the button and small blind put in 1,000 more to call.

With action on the side, it was four ways to the flop as it came J64. The small blind checked and Shen bet out for 120,000. All remaining players folded and the hand went to a showdown with Suttles at risk.

Matthew Suttles: 62
Roland Shen: 44

The turn and river came the 5 and K respectively. Shen's set of fours held and Suttles was sent to the rail.
