Daewoong Song moved all in from the button for his last 10,000 before Stephen Sola rejammed from the small blind. It was then on Anze Smajd who snap-called.

Daewoong Song: Kx4x
Stephen Sola: Qx6x
Anze Smajd: AxKx

The board ran out jack-high and the ace-high of Smajd was enough to earn a double knockout and the bounties.

Judy Whitlow and Ryan Tosoc were both all in against Timothy Rutherford with Whitlow being the shortest stack and Rutherford having both opponents covered.

Judy Whitlow: Q?Q?
Ryan Tosoc: A?K?
Timothy Rutherford: Q?J?

Whitlow and Tosoc both had premium holdings, but it was Rutherford who flopped a straight as the dealer fanned the 10?8?9? board. The 4?2? runout didn't change anything to earn him a double knockout.

"Are you kidding?" Whitlow said after taking the beat.

Eric Baldwin: 3?3?
Alexander Jesionek: 9?9?
David Levy: 2?2?

Jesionek had the best pocket pair and his nines held up as the board ran out J?5?K?10?J? to bring him a near triple and to pick up Baldwin's bounty.

Stephen Sola had run up his short stack to around 100,000 and open-jammed on the button as Robert Natividad called in the big blind. "Let's gamble," said Natividad.

Stephen Sola: 6?6?
Robert Natividad: 6?5?

Sola was in great shape to double up, though the flop of 8?9?A? gave Natividad some hope with a gutshot. As it happened, the board finished out 8?A? to double pair and the two players chopped the pot, with both playing the board.

"The least likely of outcomes," said Dylan Linde.

"I appreciate the action," said Sola as he pulled his chips back.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Stephen Sola open-jammed a stack of 10,000 from early position and Daewoong Song three-bet to 20,000 behind him. Mark Dube four-bet to 60,000 in the cutoff to bring a fold from Song.

Mark Dube: 6?5?
Stephen Sola: A?A?

Dube had run into aces but got plenty of help from the 4?9?7? flop with a straight draw.

"I'm rooting for you," commented Camille Brown.

The 7? turn didn't change anything, but the 8? landed on the river to give him the straight as he tripled his small stack.
