Gutierrez slowed down and checked the 7♠ turn. Camosci fired out another 52,000 and Gutierrez stuck around.

Gutierrez checked once more on the 10♦ river and Camosci jammed for 136,000. After using up a time bank, Gutierrez flicked in a calling chip.

Camosci tabled Q♠9♠ for top pair and took in the pot as Gutierrez hero-called with 9♣7♣.

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Poker is a game where an online qualifier can sit on equal footing with a true legend of the game. That's the experience Kevinas Korsakas has had so far today, as he's sat right next to Adrian Mateos.

The two tangled in the last pot where Mateos bet 32,000 from the button on a board of J♣9♠A♦Q♣. Korsakas called in the small blind and the 4♦ fell on the river.

Mateos then bet 93,000, leaving just one 1,000 chip behind, and Korsakas again called. Mateos turned over A♥A♣ for top set and the Power Path qualifier sent his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kevinas Korsakas	450,000 146,000	146,000
Adrian Mateos	220,000 50,000	50,000
