Kovalski Trips Schwaederle to the Rail
Fabiano Kovalski raised to 12,000 in the hijack and Michael Kil called in the cutoff. Cedric Schwaederle then moved all in for 65,000 in the big blind, Kovalski reshoved, and Kil folded, later saying he had two nines.
Cedric Schwaederle: A♥10♣ 
Fabiano Kovalski: A♠K♥
The K♦K♠J♦ flop gave Kovalski trip kings and Schwaederle a straight draw, but Schwaederle improved no further on the 8♥ turn or 5♠ river as he was sent to the rail.
"If I call do you jam," Kovalski asked Kil after the hand, and Kil simply shrugged.
At the same time at another table, Niall Murray got his last 160,000 in the middle on a flop of 5♠9♥3♥ against Victor Goncalves. Murray had 10♣9♣ for top pair, but Goncalves had K♠K♦ and held on through the Q♥J♥ turn and river to send Murray to the rail.
