Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, Charles Benoit shoved for his last 2,800,000 and Blair Hinkle tanked for some time before making the call:

Hinkle had the best starting hand, but the board revealed Q?3?J?2?6? to give two pair to Benoit and the double up.

Dream Spot for Kniep

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Andreas Kniep
Andreas Kniep

Andreas Kniep raised under the gun to 500,000 and it folded to Scott Weinstein in the big blind who made a three-bet worth 1,575,000. Kniep considered his options for a minute and announced all in, putting Weinstein at risk for his remaining stack of around 2,600,000. The latter snap-called.

Scott Weinstein: K?K?
Andreas Kniep: A?A?

The runout didn't bring any surprise with 10?7?6?4?Q? and Weinstein made his way to the payout desk while Kniep climbed to around 26,000,000.
