Schaap Doubles Through Bartos

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gergely Bartos Shoved from mid-position for 1,665,000 and so did Ad Schaap in the hijack. The rest folded for the cards to go on their backs.

Ad Schaap: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Gergely Bartos: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for Schaap to hit two pair on the flop and avoid any sevens on the rest of the board.

Split Pot for Schaap and Tanaka

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ad Schaap raised to 180,000 from the button and was called Masatoshi Tanaka in the big blind.

The river completed the board with the {2-Diamonds} on which they both checked again.

They both had ace-high in their hand and split the pot as their second cards were lower than the four highest that were on the board.

Sonny Franco raised from middle position to 180,000 and he was called by Masatoshi Tanaka in the small blind and Dong Guo in the big blind.
