Kris Kuykendall just took down a nice pot with an all-in move on the river. It began with David Pham opening to $180,000 from early position and got calls from Hafiz Khan and Kris Kuykendall in the blinds. The flop came down Q J T and it was checked around.

After the 2 hit the turn and Khan checked, Kuykendall fired out $225,000. Pham got out of the way and Khan made the call. The river was the 7 and after Khan checked again Kuykendall announced all-in. After a bit of thought Hafiz released the hand and Kris raked the pot.

Hafix Khan raises to $165,000 and Kris Kuykendall adds another $350,000 to the wager. The action folds back around to Khan, who thinks for a few moments but then lays the hand down, giving Kuykendall the pot.

Christian Harder open-shoves all-in for his last $750,000 and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier makes a quick call in the small blind, showing J J to Harder's 7 7. The board comes J T 3 8 5 and ElkY flops a set and fades the gutterball to send Harder to the rail in 7th place, where he'll pick up a $200,000 consolation prize.

In a battle of the blinds, David Pham checks the turn on a 9 6 3 8 and Bertrand "ElkY" bets out. Pham raises to $500,000 and ElkY quickly calls. The river is another trey and Pham bets out $715,000. ElkY calls immediately and turns up 10-7 for the nut straight while Pham has 9-4 for nines-up. Pham ships a $1.8 million pot to Grospellier and the PokerStars pro takes over the chip lead with a $7.8 million to $6 million chip advantage.

On his first hand after doubling through Joe Elpayaa, Ricky Fohrenbach re-raises to $500,000 after Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opens with a raise from early position. Action folds back to ElkY, who moves all-in and puts Fohrenbach to a decision for his tournament life. After a few moments of rumination, the young American makes the call and stakes his $2 million dreams with pocket jacks against ElkY's A K. The board comes K T 4 9 6 and ElkY wins the coin flip, busting Fohrenbach in 8th place for a $150,000 haul and building Grospellier's stack to $6.1 million.

 

Joseph Elpayaa raises to $160,000 and Ricky Fohrenbach moves all-in over the top for about $1.2 million. Elpayaa thinks for a moment before making the call and turning up T T against Fohrenbach's J J. The board comes K 5 3 2 A and Fohrenbach makes a heart flush to double through Elpayaa and build his stack up to about $2.5 million.

In a raised pot, David Pham and Joseph Elpayaa see a flop come K Q 7 and Pham bets out 2/3rds the pot. Elpayaa fires out a pot-sized raise of about $750,000 and Pham ruminates before folding out and giving Elpayaa the pot.
