Guillermo Ramirez Arango moved all in under the gun for 125,000, and Reddy Harshavardhan called from the big blind with KcQh.

Arango turned over 6h6d, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came Kd10c9s6sJd — Harshavardhan paired his king on the flop, Arango turned a set of sixes, and Harshavardhan rivered a king-high straight. Harshavardhan won the pot with his straight to eliminate Arango in 143rd place.

Vincent Guerra
Vincent Guerra

There is a three-way preflop all-in situation at Table 21, with Vincent Guerra (UTG) covering both Alejandro Espinal (UTG+1) and Winston Johnson (middle position).

Vincent Guerra:  QsJs
Alejandro Espinal:  AcKd
Winston Johnson:  9h9c

The flop came QdJd9d, giving all three players a shot with a set of nines for Johnson, two pair for Guerra, and a gutshot straight-flush draw for Espinal.

But the turn card was the Qc, giving Guerra a huge lead with a full house, queens full of jacks. Johnson could only stay alive with the nine of spades (for quads), and Espinal needed the ten of diamonds (for a straight flush).

The river card was the 4s, and Guerra won the entire pot to eliminate both players from the tournament.

Vincent Guerra  –  500,000  (33 bb)
Alejandro Espinal  –  Eliminated in 187th Place  ($1,180)

A player raised from middle position to 26,000, and Ronnie Lamb moved all in from middle position for 81,000. Rafael Lima called or raised from the hijack, and the original raiser folded.

Lamb showed KsKd, and Lima turned over QsQc. Lamb needed his kings to hold to stay alive.
