Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Abdulkadir Ahmed in the small blind who moved all in for 60,000. Callum Gordon called in the big blind.

Abdulkadir Ahmed: J?7? All in
Callum Gordon: A?Q?

Ahmed needed to improve to stay alive but missed the 8?4?K? flop. Gordon hit top pair on the A? turn and Ahmed was already drawing dead and heading for the exit by the 8? river.

Aram Ramadan raised to 16,000 under the gun, James Sassi moved all in for 66,000 on the button, and Ramadan called.

James Sassi: Q?Q? All in
Aram Ramadan: Q?J?

Sassi was well in front with his queens as the flop came 7?8?8?. The 6? turn gave Ramadan a flush draw, and he hit the flush on the K? river to a round of "oohs" from the table, sending Sassi to the rail.

Neville Betty three-bet to 43,000 in middle position before David Gee four-bet to 120,000 under the gun, Betty called and they saw a flop of Q?5?3?.

Gee then bet 60,000 and Betty called once more. The turn was the 5? and Gee bet 125,000. Betty used a time bank but eventually tapped the felt and mucked as Gee showed him A?A? while taking in the pot.

At another table, Steven Warburton was eliminated by Mark McDade when he couldn't win a race with A?Q? against 9?9? on a board of 10?10?6?5?10?.

Gerald McInally made the money with just one big blind and quickly earned a double up. He was then all in again as Bashir Ali shoved for 28,000 under the gun, McInally put in his last 34,000 in the cutoff, and Qasim Zia called in the big blind.

Bashir Ali: 10?6? All in
Gerald McInally: K?Q? All in
Qasim Zia: 7?5?

"Please, dealer," McInally said, standing up from his seat and holding his hands together in prayer as the flop came A?5?Q? to give him a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 9?8? and McInally took the pot to virtually triple up and send Ali to the rail.

Olabode Ayegun survived the bubble with just 25,000 and quickly got his last chips in the middle from the big blind against Jonathan Roberts in the cutoff.

Olabode Ayegun: K?3? All in
Jonathan Roberts: 3?3?

"How about a king," Ayegun pleaded as the flop came 6?7?9?. The 7? turn gave him some outs to counterfeit Roberts' pair. "Or a nine," he said, but Ayegun missed the A? river and was sent to the payout desk.
