We picked up the heads-up action with a lot of chips in the middle and an all-in shove from Kyle Ho. The board read and Ho's opponent was tanking. He thought for a few minutes and eventually announced "call."
Ho tabled for a set and his opponent mucked, before the dealer turned up the losing . Ho stacked his chips and his opponent headed to the rail.

From the hijack seat, David "The Dragon" Pham raised to 4,600 and was called by Joel Tushnet in the cutoff. The dealer put the first three community cards onto the felt and they read . Pham bet 4,700 and Tushnet called.
The turn was the and Pham checked. Tushnet took over the role of aggressor and bet 6,300. Pham counted out the chip needed to make the call, but then put them back into his stack and gave his cards back to the dealer.
While scouting the tournament area for big hands and big stacks we stumbled across a certain Asi Moshe. if you checked the chip counts at the start of play, Moshe only had 25,500 in front of him, but look now and you will discover a tournament leading stack of 264,000! It's amazing how this game pans out sometimes.
Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck has exited the tournament after moving all-in for 17,100 with when the action folded to her in late position. She was looked up by the dominating and when the five community cards fell it was game over for the vocal Brazilian.
