Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

During hand-for-hand play, there were no less than five all-in-and-calls.

Felipe Ketzer managed to double up in a hand against Joseph Sabe, where the chips went in preflop to leave Ketzer at risk for his 365,000.

Felipe Ketzer: A♦K♦ All in
Joseph Sabe: K♣J♦

Sabe paired his jack on the 6♦J♣3♦ flop, but had to fade a lot of outs as Ketzer had a flush draw. The 9♥ was a brick, but the 10♦ river kept Ketzer alive.

On another table, Mohamed El-Wely was all-in for 430,000 against Razvan Sabau.

Mohamed El-Wely: A♠K♥ All in
Razvan Sabau: 3♦3♥

El-Wely flopped a straight draw on Q♠10♥9♣ and connected with it on the J♦ turn, which left Sabau drawing dead. A meaningless 4♥ filled out the board, and El-Wely doubled up.
