After a flop of Ac10c4h, Steven Glazerman got it all in from the button for 73,000 with AhKs for a pair of aces, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against the Kh10h (pair of tens) of Donald Williams in the cutoff.

The turn card was the 7s, the river card was the Jc, and Glazerman won the pot with his pair of aces to double up in chips.

Steven Glazerman  –  180,000  (72 bb)
Donald Williams  –  53,000  (21 bb)

The next hand, Williams moved all in under the gun for 53,000, and Matthew Zarcadoolas called from the button with AcKc and a slightly larger stack.

Williams turned over Ad9d, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came As6c5d4c3s, and Zarcadoolas won the pot with his pair of aces and a king kicker to eliminate Williams in 25th place.

Matthew Zarcadoolas  –  121,500  (49 bb)
