Barbosa Knocked Out

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jose Barbosa moved all in with his last 385,000 chips. Nick Pupillo made the call.

Jose Barbosa: 87All in
Nick Pupillo: A10

Barbosa's live cards didn't connect for a pair, and neither did Pupillo's, but the four-flush on the board in a runout of 6K3KJ hit both players. Pupillo got the better of it with the ace.

Thiriart Sends Stephens Home

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action folded around to Kent Stephens in the cutoff who open-jammed all in for 735,000. Arthur Thiriart on the button went into the tank for a short while and made the call. The blinds both folded quickly.

Kent Stephens: 88 All in
Arthur Thiriart: KJ

A safe flop came for Stephens of A33 but when the dealer flipped over the J as the turn he was in trouble and needed help quickly. No joy on the 7 brick of a river and Stephens was off to the cage.

Mullaly Takes Down Kong

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The hand was picked up on the turn, with two players involved and the board reading 310Q5.

Myles Mullaly bet 450,000 from the cutoff. Kenneth Kong raised all-in on the button.

Mullaly, who had the larger stack, thought about the call for some time, then pulled the trigger.

Kenneth Kong: K10All in
Myles Mullaly: Q8

Mullaly's pair of queens was better than Kong's tens. The 7 river was immaterial.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was heads up to the Q6J flop with around 400,000 already in the middle. Antonio Buonanno checked from the big blind, and
Quirin Heinz bet 125,000 in the hijack.

Buonanno check-raised to 500,000, and the call was made. Both players checked the 4 turn, and the 7 river completed the board. Buonanno announced all in, claiming the pot as Heinz slid his cards into the muck.
