At Table 5, the player on the button is all in for about 75,000 with KdKc, and needs his hand to hold to stay alive against the AsJs of Will Evans in the hijack.

The board came Qc10s8sAh7d — Evans flopped a spade flush draw and paired his ace on the turn to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from the tournament.

Will Evans  –  225,000  (38 bb)

At Table 6, a player raised under the gun to 11,000, the next player moved all in from UTG+1 for about 85,000, and Giovanni Massa moved all in over the top from late position. The original raiser folded.

The short stack turned over AsKd, and she needed to improve to stay alive against Massa’s QsQd.

The board came Js6h3h10d2h, and the pocket queens held up for Massa to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from the tournament.

Giovanni Massa  –  245,000  (41 bb)
