De Oliveira Doubles Through McKnight

Level 42 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Ryan McKnight opened to 6,000,000 from under the gun holding A?K? before Tauan De Oliveira moved all in from the cutoff with J?J?. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to McKnight and he quickly called with the covering stack to put the Brazilian at risk.

Tauan De Oliveira: J?J?
Ryan McKnight: A?K?

It was a classic race with potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. The Q?8?3? flop kept the jacks ahead with the 9? turn changing nothing. De Oliveira secured the double once the J? river completed the board to ensure he would not be the first casualty of the final table.

Phil Hellmuth also has the chance to get his 17th WSOP bracelet, as he is one of the final 55 players in Event #11: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack.

Tram Pham opened to 8,000,000 from under the gun and was called by Steven Thompson in the big blind.

Both players checked through the 3?9?2? flop to the 4? turn at which point Thompson bet enough to force Pham all in. After some thought, Pham called off for her tournament life.

Tram Pham: A?J?
Steven Thompson: 7?7?

Thompson was well ahead and managed to fade the Q? river to send Pham, the last woman in the tournament, out in 10th place.

Guang Chen: A?J?

The board ran out A?10?9?8?A?. Castro's pair of nines were no good and he was eliminated in 11th place.
