Brett Apter

Eric Kim opened to 1,200,000 from the hijack and Brett Apter shoved all in for 3,700,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Kim quickly called to put Apter at risk.

Brett Apter: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Eric Kim: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Kim held a dominating advantage going to the flop of {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The {a-Hearts} on the turn and the {6-Spades} on the river left both players with a pair of aces but Kim held the better kicker.

Inkyu Choi opened to 1,100,000 in early position and Ryan Johal ripped all in for 6,025,000 in the big blind. Choi asked for a count and thought it over for a moment before making the call.

Ryan Johal: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Inkyu Choi: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Choi's heater was not about to come to an end after hitting a pair on the {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. The {k-Clubs} paired the board on the turn and the {2-Clubs} on the river improved Choi to a full house.

Choi Scores a Huge Double Knockout

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jacob Thibodeau pushed all in for a little over 6,000,000 from under the gun and Inkyu Choi re-shoved all in from the small blind. Elad Kubi was in the big blind with just shy of 10,000,000 and called off the rest of his stack as well.

Jacob Thibodeau: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Elad Kubi: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Inkyu Choi: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} provided a little bit for everyone. Choi flopped top set, Kubi held a straight draw, and Thibodeau had an open-ended straight draw with a flush draw. The {3-Diamonds} and {2-Diamonds} runout bricked everything and Choi held on to eliminate both opponents.
