Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Noel Jaber opened A♦9♦ from under the gun to 60,000 and Weiran Pu called with 5♠5♥ in the cutoff.
They went to a flop of J♣2♥J♦ where Jaber check-called a bet of 55,000 from Pu to the 7♦ turn, which went check-check.
A 6♥ filled out the board and Jaber led out for 260,000, sending Pu into the tank. Eventually, Pu did make the call with his pocket fives, picking off the bluff of Jaber.

: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Anthony Xu shoved from the hijack for around 315,000 and Noel Jaber called on the button.
Anthony Xu: J♦J♣ 
Noel Jaber: Q♥Q♣
Xu momentarily thought he had the best hand as the J♥ dropped in the window, but it was followed by the 6♥Q♠, giving both players a set! Xu's hopes of survival were completely wiped out when the Q♦ turn gave Jaber quads. The inconsequential K♥ completed the board, and Xu exited in 8th.

Kahle Burns made it 65,000 from under the gun with A♦K♦ and Joshua McSwiney three-bet to 250,000 from middle position holding Q♠Q♥. When it got back to Burns, he four-bet to 250,000, sending McSwiney into the tank.
"If you just jam, I beat you into the pot, now I'm thinking of making the most insane fold of my life," said McSwiney. Eventually, after around two minutes, McSwiney folded his queens face up.

Weiran Pu opened the hijack to 50,000 with 4♦4♣ and Kahle Burns & Noel Jaber in the blinds called.
The flop came p7ctd5d] and all three checked to the 8♦ turn. Burns checked, Jaber bet 125,000, Pu folded, and Burns called.
An A♣ hit the river and again Burns checked, then Jaber reached for chips and fired 300,000. Burns sat still for some time and took a glance over at his opponent while he decided how to proceed. Eventually, Burns folded his 9♥8♥.
"Blockers," said Jaber as he revealed K♦J♣ for a bluff!
