Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

While 2021 WSOP Main Event Finalist Ugur Secilmis is building a big stack of 265,000, there is animation at the table behind him. From middle position, a player opened to 2,100. But in the hijack, Kenny Gollahon shoved for 16,700. All the other players folded, and the initial caller called.

Kenny Gollahon: A?A?
Middle position player: 4?4?

It was an easy win for Gollahon, who doubled up to 35,900 on J?8?7?K?J?.

On the very next hand, it was Cameron Dhaliwal's turn to move all in for 15,400 chips from the middle position. The playeron the button reraised all in, and both players flipped their cards.

Cameron Dhaliwal: A?K?
Button: A?J?

Once again, the short stack doubled up on 7?3?7?6?4?. With 12,000 chips remaining, the button was at risk on the straight after and was eliminated.
