Ollie Garland

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ryhor Karapanau raised to 50,000 from the hijack, Karen Nazarian three-bet to 150,000 on the button and Karapanau called.

The 2♥10♥6♥ flop saw Karapanau check and then call a bet of 100,000 from Nazarian.

The K♣ saw a second check from Karapanau. Nazarian sized up to 200,000 and Karapanau finally folded. As Nazarian raked in the pot he flashed the A♣ to the table.

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 3♥9♦5♠Q♣ and Aliaksandr Yarosh moved all in. Hadi Khordbin called for 480,000 and was covered as players revealed their cards.

Yarosh showed A♣A♠ for a pair of aces and Khordbin had K♦K♥ for a pair of kings.

Khordbin looked like he was about to be eliminated and already stood up to leave when the river came the K♣ to give him a set. He won the pot and doubled up his stack, letting out a cheer of "Yesss!" as he scooped in the pot.

Hadi Khordbin	1,000,000 475,000	475,000
Aliaksandr Yarosh	200,000 580,000	580,000

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action was picked up with approximately 725,000 in the middle with two players looking at a full board of 3♥Q♣5♥10♦6♠.

Matthias Lipp, in the small blind, checked the action to Andras Nemeth, in the cutoff. Nemeth moved all in for 785,000, sending Lipp into the tank.

Lipp thought for so long that the clock was eventually called, finally prompting a fold from Lipp. Nemeth claimed this sizeable pot without a showdown.
