Level 29 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Astedt doubled with jacks full.

Garagnani and Winter Double

Level 30 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Pedro Garagnani raised to 272,000 in the cutoff and Adrian Mateos jammed with the covering stack on the button. Garagnani had 266,869 behind and called it off.

Adrian Mateos: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board once again kept the player at risk in contention.

Sean Winter: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Bert Stevens: {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

The {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} board gave Winter a pair of queens and urgently needed chips.
