Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Rania Nasreddine opened from early position to 125,000 and Stephen Song defended his big blind.

They saw a flop of 4♦Q♦5♣ which Song checked, Nasreddine bet 100,000, Song raised to 350,000, and Nasreddine called.

Both checked the K♠ turn and 9♦ river to showdown where Song showed 9♣7♣ for a rivered pair of nines, and Nasreddine mucked her A♥J♠.

"Oh you're dirty, you're so dirty, oh man you're so dirty. You're gonna pay the next time," joked Nasreddine as Song was being pushed the pot.

Javey Timmer raised to 225,000, and left himself just 5,000 behind, then Boris Kuzmanovic shoved from the big blind. Timmer called off his last chip.

Javey Timmer: A♣10♦ All in
Boris Kuzmanovic: Q♣7♣

Timmer needed to hold to stay alive but didn't manage to do so as the 2♣9♥4♣6♣7♠ runout gave Kuzmanovic a flush, which sent Timmer to the rail.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

After Yurii Zabrodotskyi raised under the gun to 125,000, David Coleman three-bet to 560,000 from the big blind. Zabrodotskyi came back with a four-bet to 1,005,000, but Coleman wasn't done there, five-bet clicking it to 1,550,000.

Zabrodotskyi called and over three million was in the pot even before the A♥K♠Q♠ flop. Coleman led for 300,000 but Zabrodotskyi raised to 600,000. Coleman called and the pot was now over four million.

On the 3♥ turn, Coleman checked and Zabrodotskyi checked back to see the river K♦. Coleman checked again and after a moment of thought, Zabrodotskyi checked back.

After all that, Coleman showed A♠5♥ and Zabrodotskyi showed A♦5♦ for a chopped pot.

The duo exchanged a fist bump as the pot was chopped between the two aggressively-played baby aces.

Harry Lodge raised to 120,000 from under the gun, Jianwei Lin three-bet to 325,000 on the button and Lodge called.

The 8♠10♦3♦ flop saw Lodge check-call a bet of 200,000 from Lin.

The 6♥ turn checked through to the K♥ on the river. Both players checked to a showdown. Lodge flashed A♣Q♣, but was bested by the Q♠Q♦ of Lin.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Yurii Zabrodotskyi raised to 125,000 in the cutoff and was called by Marius-Catalin Pertea on the button.

The duo saw a flop of 9♥4♦2♦ and Pertea bet 100,000 after Zabrodotskyi checked. Zabrodotskyi called and the 7♠ came on the turn.

Again Zabrodotskyi checked and Pertea now bet 225,000. Again Zabrodotskyi called and the A♣ completed the board.

This time it was Zabrodotskyi betting, to the tune of 650,000. Pertea thought very briefly but then called.

Zabrodotskyi showed A♦10♣ for a rivered pair of aces, but Pertea happily spiked his 4♠4♥ onto the table for a set of fours and the winner.

Marius-Catalin Pertea	3,070,000 870,000	870,000

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jose Barbosa was all in for around 600,000 against the bigger-stacked Gal Bar.

Jose Barbosa: K♦10♠ All in
Gal Bar: J♥J♣

Barbosa's outs improved significantly as the flop landed 3♠Q♠5♠ to give him a flush draw, and the K♥ turn then left Bar drawing to one out as the 2♣ river bricked off to earn Barbosa a double.

A Q♥ hit the turn and Kovalski checked again, then Lodge fired 450,000. Kovalski called.

An 8♠ landed on the river and Kovalski checked for a third time, then Lodge announced a bet of 1,100,000. Kovalski quickly folded.
