Taliwanth No More; Mazor and SM Thrive
Elai Mazor rivered a superior flush with K?J? versus 7?6? on a board of 3?3?2?7?4? to knock out an opponent before Nic Ioannoy then arrived and instantly got his 40,000 stack in preflop. Cliton Taliwanth called with the marginally covering stack and they flipped.
Nic Ioannoy: K?Q? 
Cliton Taliwanth: J?J?
"I have the same hand as yesterday when I busted you ..." Taliwanth joked and Ioannoy replied "ah, when you rivered the nine".
It was a classic flip and Ioannoy got there with the A?K?6?10?2? runout.
Taliwanth was down to a mere 8,000 and all-in shortly after with the 5?5?. Another short stack was involved with the K?8? and SM jammed over the top to isolate both with the A?K?.
The current chip leader smashed the 7?2?2?A?4? runout to send two opponents packing.
