Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Pablo Beltran defended his big blind.

They saw a flop of J♣9♠K♣ where Beltran checked, Kovalski bet 100,000, and Beltran called.

When the 5♥ landed on the turn, Beltran checked again and Kovalski bet 265,000. Beltran then raised to 625,000, and Kovalski shoved. Beltran had 115,000 behind and made the call which put himself at risk.

Pablo Beltran: K♦5♦ All in
Fabiano Kovalski: K♥J♦

Beltran had turned two pair but only had two outs as he needed to find a five on the river. Instead, the 2♠ filled out the board which left Beltran on the sidelines.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yurii Zabrodotskyi raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Sriharsha Doddapaneni called in the small blind.

The 2♦6♠A♠ flop saw Doddapaneni check-call a bet of 75,000 from Zabrodotskyi.

The 4♥ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Zabrodotskyi sized up to 450,000.

The J♣ checked to a showdown. Doddapaneni tabled K♠10♠ having missed his flush draw, while Zabrodotskyi's king-high of K♥Q♣ was still best to claim this pot.

Yurii Zabrodotskyi	5,750,000 750,000	750,000

Govert Metaal raised to 80,000 from early position and Harry Lodge called in the hijack. Boris Kuzmanovic also called from the big blind.

They saw a flop of 10♣3♣2♠ which was checked to Lodge, who then bet 90,000. Kuzmanovic folded, and Metaal called.

A K♦ revealed itself on the turn which Metaal checked again, then Lodge fired a bet of 175,000. Metaal called again.

The 3♥ river paired the board and again Metaal checked, then Lodge made a bet of 375,000. Metaal didn't need to think for too long before he tossed in the call.

Lodge showed K♠J♠ for a pair of kings, then Metaal tabled K♣8♣ and lost the pot as Lodge had a better kicker.
