Jaka:
Norden:
The flop was pretty good for Jaka as he paired his kicker and Norden now needed help on turn and river to score the knockout. After the turn, the double up was already secured and the river completed the board.
Shortly after, Will Givens raised to 21,000 and then folded when Jaka moved all in once again. "I fold. I want to see you in heads up," he said before mucking his cards.
David Olmsted raised from early position and got two callers in Vinny Pahuja and the big blind. Olmsted made the continuation bet on the flop for 60,000 and only Pahuja called to see the turn. Olmsted checked and then openly folded when Pahuja bet what looked like 80,000.
"I guess I should have raised more pre. King Queen?" Olmsted asked after the hand was over.
The flop was and Faraz Jaka bet 35,000. Will Givens raised him up to 75,000 and Jeremy Joseph moved all in. Jaka folded but Givens wasted no time in making the call.

The turn and river missed Joseph and sent him out.
David Olmsted raised to 24,000 and Gabriel Nassif moved all in one seat over for 56,000 more. Olmsted called after some consideration and turned over but it would only end up second best to the of the Frenchman. The board ran out and Nassif doubled up.
Dutch Boyd raised to 24,000 from the button and Stewart Newman announced all in. "Can I have a count,please?" asked Paul Cogliano one seat over and then moved all in himself after the dealer verified the stack to be 167,000. Boyd quickly folded and the two players turned over their cards.
Newman:
Cogliani:
"That is pretty sick," a disappointed Newman said before the dealer proceeded to do his duty. The board ran out and the field was reduced to 13.

Doyle Brunson won the WSOP Main Event with said hand and it may very well be an important step for Boyd to win a bracelet himself.
