Delgrande Wins the Flip to Double Up

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to David Kazanjian in the cutoff, and he raised to 20,000. Once it folded to the big blind Christopher Delgrande, he three-bet all in for 240,000, which was snap called by Kazanjian to put Delgrande at risk.

Christopher Delgrande: A?J? All in
David Kazanjian: 10?10?

It was a flip for Delgrande's tournament life and would need to improve against the pocket tens of Kazanjian. The K?K?2? flop was no help, but the A? on the turn put Delgrande the lead. When the river was the 9? Delgrande had the best hand with two pair, aces and kings to double up.

Alex Queen

Action folded to Alexander Queen on the button, and he raised all in for 119,000. Then Richard Milo also went all in for slightly less, which got the big blind to fold, and leave the two players heads up, with Milo at risk.

Richard Milo: 5?5? All in
Alexander Queen: J?J?

Milo would need help to stay in the tournament, but once the board ran out Q?6?3?7?2? the pair of jacks of Queen were still best, and Milo was eliminated.
