Huang Scores a Double Knockout; Davenport Busts Another
Adam Wilkinson was all in for 60,000 from under the gun, Thomas Hall put his last 40,000 in from early position, and small blind Zexuan Huang called to put both players at risk.
Thomas Hall: 9♦9♠ 
Adam Wilkinson: 9♥9♣
Zexuan Huang: J♥J♠
Hall and Wilkinson saw the bad news when they turned over the same hand, leaving them with scant hope against Huang's jacks. The board ran out 6♣2♦K♣3♣Q♣ and Huang improved to a flush to send both opponents to the rail.
"Why did he have to have a club?" Wilkinson lamented.
At the same time at another table, Cameron Williamson moved all in for 18,000 in early position and Matthew Davenport called under the gun.
Cameron Williamson: A♣Q♥
Matthew Davenport: 9♥9♣
It was a race situation, and Davenport's nines stayed in the lead through the K♦6♦7♠3♣2♥ to earn him another knockout.
"I'm going home. Too much poker this week," Williamson, who finished second to Maogen Fu in the High Roller, said on his way to the exit.
