After check-raising the heads-up flop of 6?A?2?, Ari Katz led out for 95,000 on the turn 2? but then his opponent Greg Raymer moved all in to cover.

Katz wasted hardly any time in making the call to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.

Ari Katz: 7?8?
Greg Raymer: A?Q?

"Well that's good, I'm not quite there yet," Raymer sighed as he commented on Katz's flopped flush, although he could still hit an ace or a deuce to knock him out.

Unfortunately for Raymer, the river fell the brick 8? to award Katz the huge pot for a monster double-up.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Roy Kim opened to 16,000 but then James Sloat moved al in for 71,000 total, which sent Kim into the tank.

Kim thought about it for several moments before he decided to make the call to put Sloat at risk.

James Sloat: J?J?
Roy Kim: Q?10?

Sloat was a favorite with his pocket jacks and the runout of 6?7?K?K?2? was favorable for him and he was awarded the pot for a double-up.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Short-stacked Tim Faro open-shoved for 54,000 under-the-gun and was called by big stack Ari Katz to put him at risk.

Tim Faro: A?J?
Ari Katz: K?9?

Faro was in the lead going into this matchup, and the runout came Q?9?J?3?Q?.

"Did I win?" Faro asked the dealer, who confirmed that he did, in fact, win with his jack and he was awarded the pot for a successful double-up.
