With the board showing 9d7c2h2d on the turn and about 24K already in the pot, Ben Boston moved all in from the hijack for 14,000, and the player on the button thought for a bit before he called with Kc9s for two pair, nines and deuces.

Boston turned over Ah10h, and he needed to catch an ace or a ten on the river to stay alive.

The river card was — the As. Boston rivered a higher two pair to double up with aces and deuces.

Ben Boston  –  48,000  (80 bb)

The next hand at the same table, the under-the-gun player limped for 600, the player on the button limped, the small blind limped, and Daniel Garcia moved all in from the big blind for 14,300.

The player on the button called with 10s8c, and the others folded. Garcia turned over Js5d, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came 7d6s3s2h2c, and since neither player improved, Garcia won the pot with jack high to double up in chips.

Daniel Garcia  –  30,400  (51 bb)

Flight B is up to 313 entries and counting, with registration open until the end of the next break, around 9:30 pm.
