Joshua McSwiney Bad Beats Sertac Turker
Sertac Turker raises to 8,000 and Siarhei Chudapal calls on the button. Joshua McSwiney then jams for 143,000 and Turker goes all-in over the top to force out Chudapal.
McSwiney is at risk with the J♦ T♦ and has a mountain to climb versus K♥ K♣ .
On the K♦ T♥ 9♦ flop, McSwiney says "okay, more of this," as he picks up a gutshot and flush draw. The J♣ turn is a blank but the A♦ river comes to the rescue.
One hand later, Turker gets the last 19,000 in with K♦ 9♦ and big stack Kimsour Kong calls from the big blind with 4♥ 3♥ . There is no upset this time on the A♠ 8♦ 5♣ T♣ runout.

Siarhei Chudapal Boosted By Rockets
Perfect timing for Siarhei Chudapal as he picks up A♣ A♠ and goes down the board for all of his chips with a player holding A♥ K♣ . Slight scare on the turn board doesn't pan out for big slick 5♣ 7♥ J♥ Q♦ 9♦ , aces still hold for a double up.
