Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Biao Ding was down to just one 5,000 chip and tossed it into the middle from under the gun.

"You can make money in two players, €3,000," Malcolm Franchi told him.

"I don't care," Ding replied.

"Did you say you don't care," tablemate Joshua Hopkins added.

Mike Watson then raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Franchi called in the big blind. Watson bet 25,000 on the Q♠4♣4♦ flop and Franchi called.

Both players checked the 6♦ turn and Franchi bet 110,000 on the 8♠ river. Watson folded and Franchi turned over K♠J♠ for king-high. Ding mucked 5♠2♦ as he headed off to the rail.

Biao Ding opened to 40,000 from the hijack before Brian Green three-bet to 145,000 from the cutoff. With the action back on Ding, he opted to jam for 450,000 and Green snapped it off.

Brian Green: A♠K♠ All in
Biao Ding: 8♥8♣

It was a coinflip scenario with Ding having the slight advantage until the A♣6♦6♣ flop vaulted Green into the lead. It stayed that way on the A♦7♦ runout as Green filled up to double through Ding who was left with a single 5,000 chip.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jon Kyte raised to 50,000 under the gun before Ludovic Periaux moved all in for 160,000 in the hijack. Tanner Lefferts also put in his last 90,000 in the big blind and Kyte called to put both players at risk.

Tanner Lefferts: K♠5♠ All in
Ludovic Periaux: A♦J♣ All in
Jon Kyte: K♣Q♥

The flop came Q♣6♠3♠ to give Kyte top pair, while Lefferts picked up a flush draw. The 10♥ turn gave Periaux a straight draw, and he hit one of the last kings in the deck on the K♥ river to secure the double up off Kyte and send Lefferts to the rail.

"How a king? How many kings are there?" Kyte wondered as he paid off Periaux.

"Check how many kings there are. Three?" he joked with the dealer after the hand.
