Lee: 10♣10♠

Lama: A♣4♣ for a flush and gut shot straight draw

Turn: 6♠ gives Lama the straight and the river is the 7♥ which is no help to either for Lama to win the hand and eliminate Lee in 19th place for $2,272

Several all ins by the short stacks have occurred already not even halfway into level 21. Mordy Friedman had about 240k and had moved all in from the BB facing a raise with AQ and called by David Porter who had him well covered and held QJ. Friedman’s Ace high held up with the board giving no help to either player.

Left: David Porter; Right: Mordy Friedman

Nate Lindquist was no so fortunate when he moved all in pre with A9 and ran into pockets Queens which held up to knock him out in 31st place for $1,862.

A couple hands later, Richard Sipple had moved all in on the flop vs Kevin Grabel on a A♥Q♥9♥ board. Grabel held AxJ♥ for top pair and a flush draw, Sipple held KQo for middle pair. The turn is a blank and Sipple calls for a king on the river. The K♥ comes on the river giving Sipple two pair but gives Grabel the flush to win the hand and eliminate Sipple in 30th place for $1,862.
