Livello 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Hirokazu Kobayashi moved all in from under the gun for 1,400,000. Matthew Alsante, to Kobayashi's direct left, made the call.

Hirokazu Kobayashi: A♦5♠ All in
Matthew Alsante: K♥10♠

Kobayashi's rail erupted in cheer at the sight of the Q♥A♥8♥ flop, until they quickly realized Alsante had a redraw to a flush. The 5♥ turn completed Alsante's flush, but Kobayashi could make a full house to stay alive. The 8♠ river didn't oblige and Kobayashi was sent to the rail.

Livello 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Philip Wiszowaty raised to 500,000 from under the gun. Ueberton De Aquino, in early position, moved all in for approximately 2,200,000 and Wiszowaty called.

Ueberton De Aquino: Q♣Q♥ All in
Philip Wiszowaty: A♦K♦

The dealer spread the action flop of Q♠8♦4♦, giving De Aquino top set while Wiszowaty had outs to a flush. The 5♦ turn completed Wiszowaty's flush and the 7♦ river failed to pair the board. De Aquino, visibly frustrated, exited to the rail in ninth place.
