Yukako Hiroi Rivers Quads for a Double Knockout
Several players on table 25 groan when a three-way all-in unfolds in dramatic fashion. Rahul Melwani is all-in with a short stack and A♣ 7♥ to end up at risk against the K♠ K♦ of Marcus Tan and Yukako Hiroi, who has both covered and reveals 6♥ 6♦ .
Hiroi flops best on 6♣ 5♦ 3♠ while Melwani has a gutshot. Tan then turns the superior set on K♥ only to get hit by a one outer on the 6♠ river.

Rahul Melwani Knocks Out a Player
With the board showing A♦ 8♥ 3♥ 5♠ on the turn, the player in the big blind gets it all in for about 45,000 with A♣ T♥ for a pair of aces, but he needs to catch a ten on the river to stay alive against the A♠ Q♣ (pair of aces, queen kicker) of Rahul Melwani, who is UTG+1.
The river card is the 2♦, and Melwani wins the pot with his queen kicker to eliminate his opponent from the tournament.
