Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Andrew Kang raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Robert van Hoose just flat-called on the button. Robert Webb also tagged along from the big blind to see a flop of 10♣5♦2♠. Webb open-shoved all in for just over 300,000 which forced a fold from Kang but Van Hoose quickly called off the last of his 295,000 chips.

Robert Van Hoose: A♣A♦ All in
Robert Webb: Q♠10♦

Webb flopped top pair but it was no match for the pocket aces of Van Hoose. The J♠ on the turn and the 2♣ on the river secured the double up for Van Hoose, leaving Webb with just 45,000 chips.

On the next hand, Kang raised to 60,000 again and Webb stuck in the last of his chips from the small blind. Kang flipped over A♣Q♦ and was up against the 10♠8♥ of Webb. The board ran out J♠9♦2♣3♠A♠ and Webb was unable to connect, bowing out in 20th place.

Salim Majlaton raised to 75,000 in the hijack, Yifan Tang moved all in for 600,000 in the small blind, and Majlaton called.

Yifan Tang: A♠K♣ All in
Salim Majlaton: A♥Q♦

Tang had Majlaton dominated and was poised for a double up until the flop brought Q♥5♠9♦, giving Majlaton top pair and the lead. The turn, though, was the K♥ and Tang moved back in front with a pair of kings. The river was the 6♦ and Tang doubled up.

At another table, Yusei Iyama and Terrance Reid were involved in a blind-versus-blind battle on a board of J♣5♠2♥K♣6♥. Iyama then bet 350,000, and Reid called.

Iyama could only show Q♠9♠ for queen-high, while Reid had K♥4♣ for top pair to win the pot.

Jim Collopy opened to 55,000 from under the gun and Aaron Massey three-bet to 165,000 in the hijack. The action was back on Collopy who made it 305,000 to go. Massey five-bet shoved all in and Collopy called off his stack of 990,000.

On the next hand, Massey moved all in and Nikolai Mamut min-raised to 70,000 in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled.

Aaron Massey: J♥10♣ All in
