William Smith brought it in at 70,000 under the gun. Travis Pearson potted it from middle position, then Smith raised all in for his last.
Pearson made the call.
William Smith: K♣Q♠J♦10♣
Travis Pearson: A♦A♠9♣3♥
Smith's nice hand was no match for the aces, and he was drawing dead on the turn in the runout of 5♦5♠7♥9♥K♦.
Level: 21
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
The players are on a 20-minute break, and 224 players will return.
Everyone was gunning for Rupom Pal's bounty as he was very short-stacked, sitting in the small blind. Tony Clough limped from early position, Brian Woodbury limped from late position, Owais Ahmed limped from the hijack, Rupom Pal limped from the small blind, and Dong Suh checked in the big blind.
The flop came out A♦6♦7♠. Pal moved in for his last 69,000; Suh folded, Clough called, Woodbury called, and Ahmed folded.
The turn was the 2♦. Clough and Woodbury both checked.
On the river A♣, Clough bet 30,000, and Woodbury raised to 100,000. Clough folded.
Rupom Pal: 7♦5♥3♦2♥
Brian Woodbury: A♥K♠8♣6♣
Pal hit a flush, but it was not enough to beat Woodbury's full house with aces full of sixes.
Paawan Bansal limped in from the cutoff, and Alberto Fonseca made it 60,000 to go from the button. Small blind Jason Daly potted to 210,000 which folded out Bansal but not Fonseca.
On the 6♠7♦4♣ flop, Daly put Fonseca all in, and Fonseca called.
Alberto Fonseca: 10♠9♥7♥6♥
Jason Daly: A♦A♥J♥8♣
The K♣4♠ runout gave Daly aces up, ending Fonseca's tournament.
In a battle of the blinds, Kelly Baccam was all in with her last 106,000 chips against Tony Sinishtaj, who was the small blind.
Kelly Baccam: A♦A♥5♥2♦
Tony Sinishtaj: J♦10♦8♥3♦
Baccam's good opportunity to double up turned into a bad-beat bounty for Sinishtaj in a runout of 2♠Q♦K♣A♣10♣ that gave him a straight on the turn against her set of aces.
Short stacked Sean Rafael went all in dark from under the gun for his last 11,000. Action folded to Lawrence Chang in late position who raised the pot to 66,000 to isolate.
It came around to Dennis Moore on the button who also then re-potted to 264,000 to try and re-isolate, it didn't work as Chang made the call.
On the 5♥7♠9♦ flop Chang bet out enough to put Moore all in who snap-called.
Sean Rafael: A♥9♠8♦6♥
Dennis Moore: A♣K♣K♥9♣
Lawrence Chang: K♠J♠J♦8♠
Rafael had flopped the nuts and was looking good for the treble up.
Nothing changed on the A♠ turn nor the Q♦ river and Rafael was sent the main pot for a treble up whilst Moore picked up the side pot to almost double through Chang.
Xiaohu Liu raised to 30,000 from the hijack. John Kelly, seated elbow-to-elbow with him in the cutoff, shoved all in for 85,000.
Liu made the call.
John Kelly: A♦K♥K♣4♠
Xiaohu Liu: K♠8♦6♦3♣
Liu knew he would be behind, but with such a big stack and so much at stake bounty-wise, it was an easy call. Kelly appreciated in, he doubled up in a runout of 7♠10♥3♥7♦5♥.
Kelly took that 210,000-chip stack and found another double-up a couple hands later, to remain in the event with some fighting chips.
