Tim Baker

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a flop of 7♠10♣K♦, Kamal Bejjani and Malcolm Franchi got all their chips in the middle, with Bejjani being the player at risk.

Kamal Bejjani: 10♠7♥ All in
Malcolm Franchi : K♥10♥

Both players had flopped two pairs, but Franchi's top two pairs were way ahead. The Q♥ turn and 5♣ rover didn't improve Bejjani, and he was sent to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Calvin Anderson was all in from the hijack for around 350,000 and up against Jesse Lonis who covered him from the small blind.

Jesse Lonis: 7♣7♥
