Brett Streicher raised from the cutoff to 7,000, Tarun Gulati moved all in from the big blind, and Streicher thought for a while before he called all in for 66,000 with AdKc. Gulati turned over AcQs, and Streicher needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came 8h6h6s3d10c, and Streicher won the pot with his king kicker to double up in chips.

Brett Streicher  –  136,500  (46 bb)
Tarun Gulati  –  55,000  (18 bb)

A couple minutes later, Jairo Velasquez got it all in from the cutoff for 30,500 with JdJc, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the AhKs of Steve Karp, who was under the gun.

The board came 9h5h5s8h6d — Karp turned a heart flush draw, but improved no further. Velasquez won the pot with his pocket jacks to double up in chips.

Jairo Velasquez  –  68,500  (23 bb)
Steve Karp  –  25,000  (8 bb)

With 21 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 108,000 (36 big blinds). The final 19 players will finish in the money, earning at least $885 each.
