Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Leon Zeaiter raised to 160,000 from under the gun with K♦9♦, Khossein Kokhestani three-bet to 425,000 with A♠5♠ from the hijack, and Jamil Wakil let his A♥Q♥ go from the cutoff.

Zeaiter then four-bet to 1,500,000, which was enough to get Kokhestani off his hand.

"He's playing his own game, but his instincts seem to be on point so far," said Nick Walsh in the commentary booth.

The next hand, Enrico Coppola open-raised to 200,000 from the hijack with K♦Q♦, Mariusz Golinski called in the cutoff with 9♠9♣, Miguel Capriles called on the button with 7♠7♣ and Leon Zeaiter three-bet to 1,200,000 from the small blind.
