Level 36 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hand #65: Daniel Morgan moved all in for 9million on the button with {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and he won the pot.

Hand #66: Thomas Hemming raised to 800,000 on the button with {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and saw Ning Lu three-bet to 2.7million in the small blind with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Lu's raise was enough to get Hemming to fold his hand.

Hand #67: Chris Brice called in the small blind with {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} before folding to Daniel Clark's raise with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} from the big blind.

Hand #68: Lu raised to 850,000 with {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} from the cutoff and saw all his opponents fold.

Hand #69: Steven Morris called in the small blind with {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, and Daniel Morgan checked in the big blind with {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. The flop came down {10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, and Morris check-called a bet of 525,000.

On the {q-Diamonds} turn both players checked, and when the river fell the {3-Hearts}, Morris check-called a 1.7million bet from Morgan and saw the bad news that his two pair lost to trip queens.
