Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action was caught at showdown in what appeared to be a three-way all-in preflop situation.

The full board read 2♥6♥K♦9♠J♦ and Justin Steinbrenner had already left his seat as his A♠K♥ was no good.

Xiaohui Tan had 7♠7♥ in front of her for a pair of sevens, but the winner was Alisa Sibgatova as she rivered a set of jacks with J♠J♣ to scoop the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ravi Sheth wasn't a happy bunny after playing an all-in pot with Baltazar Five, which was worth around 550,000.

Baltazar Five: A♠Q♠ All in
Ravi Sheth: A♦K♥

Baltazar Five was way behind, but leapt into the lead when the 2♦7♥Q♥ flop hit the felt, giving him top pair.

"You already F***ed me once today!" said Sheth. "Come on, king!"

Despite encouraging the dealer for some assistance, the 6♦4♣ runout was no help, and Baltazar Five doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Baltazar Five	550,000 109,500	109,500
Ravi Sheth	300,000 250,000	250,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ravi Sheth just put in a big overbet into Angelo Mancini.

The full board read J♥5♠2♦10♠K♦, and with around 60,000 in the middle, Mancini checked from the big blind. Sheth was in the button and after some thought, he made it 110,000. Mancini didn't need to think for long before he folded, and Sheth's stack grew a little bigger.
