Level 24
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Steven Zhou again limped in from under the gun and drew three others including Romain Morvan, Chad Awerbuch, and Louis Lou to the streets.
The Q♣6♠Q♠ flop was checked around to the J♥ turn, where once it got to Zhou, he fired 170,000. Morvan folded, then Awerbuch called. Luo folded.
A 5♥ dropped on the river Awerbuch checked from the small blind, then Zhou checked back.
Awerbuch then flipped a full house with Q♥J♦, beating the nine-high of Zhou, who held 9♦7♦.

Romain Morvan opened to 160,000 from the hijack with K♥J♣ and was called by Chad Awerbuch in the big blind holding K♣Q♠ for a heads-up pot.
Awerbuch check-called a 110,000 bet from Morvan on the 5♦A♣K♠ flop and then both players checked on the 8♣ turn.
The A♦ completed the runout and Awerbuch bet 380,000. Morvan tanked a bit before calling and Awerbuch was sent the pot with his superior kicker.

Romain Morvan opened K♣Q♣ from under the gun to 160,000 and Kahle Burns defended from the big blind with 10♣8♣.
The flop came down 9♣4♣6♥ and after Burns checked, Morvan checked back to see the 3♦ turn. Burns fired a pot-sized bet of 440,000 and Morvan didn't take too much time before he called with his superior flush draw.
A 6♣ gave both players a flush on the river and Burns announced a bet of 1,000,000. Morvan quickly called and took down the pot with a bigger flush.

Luke Edwards raised to 375,000 on the button — leaving himself just 10,000 behind, and was called by David Pham in the big blind.
Pham checked to Edwards on the 6♥10♠6♠ flop and he committed his final 10,000 into the middle, which Pham quickly called.
Luke Edwards: A♥3♣
David Pham: 4♠4♦
Edwards was in rough shape against Pham's pair, and neither the Q♥ turn nor 5♠ river improved Edwards and he made a quick exit from the final table for a ninth-place finish.

And just like that, the final table is set!
Kahle Burns opened from under the gun to 180,000 and Romain Morvan three-bet from the next seat to 475,000. Kiavash Arbabi was in the big blind and committed his stack of 240,000. Burns then took some time before he put in a four-bet, which got a quick fold from Morvan.
Kiavash Arbabi: Q♠9♣
Kahle Burns: K♣J♠
Arbabi was live and had a fair chance at tripling up, otherwise he would be the final table bubble boy. The 6♣A♥7♠ flop didn't improve either player, but Burns paired his jack on the J♣ turn. Only a queen on the river could save Arbabi, but the 5♣ peeled off, leaving him out in tenth.

Romain Morvan is on the ascent!
Just a couple of hands after doubling through Kahle Burns, Morvan opened to 160,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 475,000 by Yuanting Wang in the big blind. Morvan announced he was all in for approximately 2,900,000 and Wang called all in for his last 2,800,000 after a bit of thought.
Yuanting Wang: A♦Q♥
Romain Morvan: A♠K♥
Wang found himself dominated, and the 6♣5♥5♣2♦9♣ runout provided no help to Wang — eliminating him in eleventh place.
