Level 30
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Johan Lees ripped in his stack of 4,200,000 from the small blind and Anthony Xu called from the big blind with a slightly bigger stack.
Anthony Xu: A♦9♥ 
Johan Lees: K♥J♣
Xu found himself ahead but both players wouldn't have liked the situation they were in. The flop came 10♣8♠4♠, keeping the ace-high of Xu in the lead, and the 4♣ left him one card away from a double-up. However, the J♥ on the river paired Lees, leaving Xu on fumes.

The remaining three players have been a bit cautious over the last few orbits, but in the latest hand, Reece Bedot opened the button to 600,000 and Johan Lees defended his big blind.
They saw a flop of 4♥K♣4♣ and Lees checked, Bedot bet 450,000, and Lees check-raised to 1,100,000. Bedot called.
An A♣ landed on the turn and after checking his cards, Lees fired 925,000. It was Bedot's turn to peek back at his cards and he decided to shove for 7,900,000, and Lees snap-called.
Johan Lees: Q♣8♣
Reece Bedot: 9♣7♣
A brutal cooler for Bedot, who was drawing dead to the bigger flush of Lees. A 10♦ completed the runout, leaving Bedot with just a few big blinds.

Reece Bedot was all in for 975,000 and Johan Lees flicked in the call from the big blind.
Reece Bedot: A♥2♦
Johan Lees: A♠7♣
Bedot was on the brink of a podium finish and the flop of 7♥5♥6♦ all but confirmed his departure. A J♣ on the turn made things official, with the 7♦ on the river being just a formality.
