Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Arun Sood raised to 45,000 in middle position and Akshat Bansal called in the small blind. Gang Wang then moved all in for 438,000 in the big blind, Sood snap-called, while Bansal got out of the way.

Gang Wang: K♣K♦ All in
Arun Sood: Q♠Q♣

Wang shot up from his seat and began filming the action as the flop came 7♦2♦2♥, keeping his kings in the lead. The rest of the board ran out 10♣5♣ and Wang let out a big fist pump, sitting back down and pretending to shadow box as the rest of the table, minus Sood, burst out laughing.

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

Akshat Bansal was on the button with a raise of 105,000 in front of him before Javier Zarco moved all in for 331,000 in the big blind. Bansal used a few time banks and eventually called to put Zarco at risk.

Javier Zarco: 9♥9♣ All in
Akshat Bansal: A♥9♦

"I don't like this," Zarco said as the flop came 8♥K♠3♥. The 10♥ turn gave Bansal a flush draw, but Zarco survived on the J♦ river to double up.

Zarco wiped his brow in relief as he took in the pot. "I was sweating. That was way too sweaty. I was wishing you folded," Zarco said.

Geoffrey Mooney: 10♠3♠ All in
Hussni Alkhuzai: 9♥9♦
