Sam Grafton and Upeshka De Silva
Sam Grafton and Upeshka De Silva

The action folded around to Sam Grafton in the small blind who announced all in. Upeshka De Silva looked down at his cards in the big blind and instantly made the call for his stack of 5,625,000.

De Silva: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Grafton: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} and De Silva nearly flopped Grafton dead. The turn was the {5-Spades} which sealed the deal and the insignificant {10-Diamonds} completed the board.

Braga Can't Stay Alive

Level 24 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Lucas Braga
Lucas Braga

Lucas Braga finally picked up a hand he decided to go with and he shoved all in for 3,675,000 from the hijack. Francois Billard re-shoved all in over the top from the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

Billard: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Braga: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Braga was hoping to spike a three in order to stay alive but the runout of {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} sent him to the rail earlier than he was hoping for.

Kenney Clips Givens

Level 24 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Alexandros Kolonias raised the button to 600,000 and Will Givens called in the small blind. From the big blind, Bryn Kenney three-bet to 2,475,000.

Givens bet out 1,300,000, and Kenney called.

Givens tabled his {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}, but it would be Kenney's {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} that would earn him the pot.

Michael Farrow
Michael Farrow

A completed board of {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} was spread across the table and the action was on Kevin Rabichow in the hijack. Michael Farrow already checked from the big blind and Rabichow announced all in. There was already over 7,000,000 in the pot and Farrow had around 5,800,000 remaining.

After using a time extension, Farrow made the call. Rabichow turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush and Farrow could only muster {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for two pair. Farrow was headed to the payout desk while Rabichow quickly reclaimed his chip lead.
