Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Hassan Nashar made it 45,000 to go from the cutoff and Razvan Sabau three-bet the big blind to 180,000. Nashar called.
A flop of J♣2♦A♠ hit the felt and Sabau's continuation-bet was called by Nashar to the 7♣ turn. Sabau shoved for 180,000, and Nashar had a decision.
"Floor," shouted Nashar. "Give me my rabbit," in reference to the rabbit-hunting cards that Merit Poker provide, which allow a player to see the runout if they fold their hand.
"Better save your chips," said Sabau.
The floor obliged and gave Nashar his rabbit card, which he initially didn't take, and he used it after he folded to see the 9♣ river.

Afshin Afsharorumieh opened the button and got a call from Leonid Bozhkov in the big blind to the K♠10♣2♣ flop, where Bozhkov check-called a bet of 25,000.
A K♣ paired the board on the turn and brought in the flush draw, and after Bozhkov checked, Afsharorumieh bet 55,000. That was enough to get the job done as Bozhkov folded.

On a board of K♠8♦3♥, Mohamed El-Wely checked from under the gun and Dragos-Florin Anton bet 40,000 from the hijack. El-Wely raised to 90,000, and Anton quickly called.
A 6♠ hit the turn and El-Wely kept betting, this time for 115,000. Anton was going nowhere and called to see the 5♣ river, where both knuckled to showdown.
El-Wely flipped over A♥J♠ for ace-high, but Anton had a pair of eights with A♣8♣ to scoop the pot.

Konstantin Voronin: A♣10♥ 
Anthony Khouzami: K♠J♣
Voronin managed to double up as his ace-high held on the 6♥Q♣7♠4♥Q♦ runout, leaving Khouzami with just a few big blinds.

Huseyin Tekerek three-bet shoved his stack from late position and was put at risk by Antoine Hasbani, who opened from early position.
Huseyin Tekerek: A♦K♠
Antoine Hasbani: 8♦8♣
Tekerek needed to win a flip, but didn't get off to a good start on the 4♥5♦4♠ flop. An 8♠ on the turn sealed his fate as Hasbani made an unbeatable full house, with the meaningless 6♦ filling out the board.

Anthony Khouzami and Aren Bezhanyan just played a hand that took around 13 minutes.
First, Khouzami opened the hijack to 35,000 and Bezhanyan three-bet the cutoff to 85,000. When it got back to Khouzami, he four-bet to 235,000, before Bezhanyan five-bet to 380,000. Khouzami called.
They saw a flop of 8♣K♠A♠, which checked to the 2♣ turn. Khouzami checked, Bezhanyan bet 130,000, and Khouzami called.
When the 8♦ paired the board on the river, Khouzami checked and Bezhanyan bet 250,000. Khouzami went into the tank and around two minutes later, the clock was called. During his countdown, Khouzami called.
Bezhanyan then turned over A♥2♦ for a pair of aces, and Khouzami mucked while shaking his head.

Dragos-Florin Anton opened from early position to 30,000 and got a call out of Razvan Sabau in the small blind. Mohamed El-Wely three-bet the big blind to 90,000, which only Anton called.
El-Wely led out on the 6♣2♣2♥ flop for 55,000, and again on the 10♥ turn for 60,000, both times receiving calls from Anton.
When the 4♣ hit the river, El-Wely checked and Anton dropped a stack of chips into pot. Before El-Wely had a chance to count it, he had already called.
Anton then showed the nut flush with A♣J♣, and El-Wely mucked.
