Kniep Takes Moore

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Andreas Kniep was already all in and at risk for his remaining 60,000 on the button, and covered by Patricia Moore in the cutoff.

Andreas Kniep: K9All in
Patricia Moore: 1010

It was a great flop for Kniep as he hit two pair on the KQ9 board.

Moore was heard asking for a "Jack, Jack, Jack" but none showed and Kniep doubled after seeing the 6 turn and 7 river.

Faraz Jaka started the action preflop with a raise to 20,000. Jason Brauda went all in for 172,000 and Khalifa Tayar went all in as well.

Jaka said, "Okay, I fold." and mucked the AJ face up. Brauda and Tayar were already all in so it didn't effect any action.

Jason Brauda: QQ All in
Khalifa Tayar: AK

The board ran out 10Q328 to award Brauda a full double and Tayar was left with only 5,000 behind.

Tayar was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after.

A Small Bet Is Enough for Ypma

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

John Ypma raised in middle position to 20,000 and got called by James Sowers in the cutoff and the big blind.

The flop came 348 and it checked to Sowers who bet 25,000. Only Ypma called to stay in the pot and both checked on the 4 turn.

The 10 completed the board on the river and Ypma sent a small bet of 15,000. It was enough to grab the pot as Sowers decided to fold.

Venkatesan Doubles Through Naganuma

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nischal Colluru raised on the button to 22,000 and Noriomi Naganuma called in the small blind before Kade Venkatesan squeezed in the big blind, for his last 77,000. Colluru decided to let it go but Naganuma made the call with slightly more chips:

Kade Venkatesan: AK All in
Noriomi Naganuma: J9

Venkatesan has the best starting hand, and double up after the board gave him two pair with K73A6 while Naganuma was left with only 20,000 and busted a few minutes later.
