Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Zbigniew Wieczorek: A♦K♣ All in
Harry Cattanach: 9♣8♥

The flop came 6♥6♠3♣, but Cattanach hit the 9♠ on the turn to make two pair and take the lead. The river, though, was the A♣ and Wieczorek improved to a better two pair to double up.

"It's an emotional rollercoaster, poker is," Daniel Myers mused philosophically.

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Junxian Du moved all in for 260,000 from the hijack as Maogen Fu put him at risk in the small blind.

Junxian Du: K♠K♣ All in
Maogen Fu: A♣J♥

Du stood up from his chair and covered his face with his sweater as he couldn't bear the watch the Q♥7♣7♦ flop. The 10♣ fell on the turn and he finally took a peek at the board.

"Okay, I'll take a king," Du said, and the 5♣ fell on the river to secure his double up.

"Don't call for cards when you're ahead, it's bad luck," Stephen Barnes told him.
