Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kahle Burns made it 50,000 to go from under the gun and Weiran Pu called on the button.
The action was checked to the river on the 4♠10♦9♦7♥8♠ runout where Burns bet 40,000 and Pu raised to 140,000. Burns thought about it for some time and seemed in agony while he tried to figure out how to proceed. Eventually, he decided to call.
Pu then showed A♥J♣ for a straight, and Burns' 7♦7♠ went into the muck.

Joseph Antar raised to 50,000 from the hijack with K♥7♥ and Noel Jaber three-bet to 125,000 on the button. Joshua McSwiney then four-bet shoved for 640,000 from the small blind, and Antar quickly folded. Jaber got a count and after some time, Jaber decided to fold and showed 10♠10♥.
McSwiney responded by showing the same hand—10♦10♣ —and raked in the pot without seeing any community cards.

Kahle Burns made it 50,000 to go from middle position and Benjamin LeBlond peeled from the big blind.
The flop came 6♠4♣5♦ and LeBlond shoved for 210,000. Burns quickly called.
Benjamin LeBlond: A♥3♥ 
Kahle Burns: K♣K♥
Burns was ahead with his pocket kings but had to fade a lot of outs as LeBlond had an over card plus an open-ended straight draw. The 6♦ on the turn was a brick, but the A♠ on the river was good enough to see LeBlond double up.

Najeem Ajez raised the button to 50,000 and Benjamin LeBlond shoved around 500,000 from the small blind. Ajez snap-called.
Benjamin LeBlond: A♦9♣
Najeem Ajez: Q♠Q♦
LeBlond had just spiked an ace on the river to survive and though he didn't find it on the river this time, he did turn an ace on the 5♠5♦6♣A♥7♠ runout to double up again for the second time in two hands!

Najeem Ajez was all in for his last 250,000 from early position and Kahle Burns called on the button.
Najeem Ajez: Q♦8♦
Kahle Burns: A♠10♠
Ajez was unlucky to lose a big portion of his stack just moments ago, but couldn't reverse his luck on the 9♠K♣3♠3♥A♦ runout meant he was the first player to be eliminated.

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!

Kahle Burns opened from early position and then called the shove of Anthony Xu, who had around 165,000 in his stack.
Anthony Xu: 7♦7♣
Kahle Burns: K♦6♦
Xu was in the lead with his pocket sevens and despite Burns flopping a pair on 6♥4♣10♠, Xu's pair held up after the A♥3♠ runout bricked off.
