Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Stephen Song raised to 50,000 in early position and was called by Andrew Kang in the hijack and Anatoly Nikitin in the big blind.

The flop came J♦7♦5♠ and Song continued for 60,000. Only Nikitin called.

Both players checked the 10♣ turn before Nikitin led out for 30,000 on the 3♣ river. Song then raised to 210,000, leaving himself just one 5,000 chip behind. Nikitin took a few minutes until calling, and Song showed A♣10♦ for a pair of tens. Nikitin also said he had a ten as he mucked.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jon Kyte opened to 50,000 in middle position and Dan Sepiol flat-called from the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of A♠3♥3♣ and Kyte continued with a bet of 40,000. Sepiol just called and the 4♠ landed on the turn.

Kyte sized up another bet of 140,000 and Sepiol stuck around for the K♥ on the river. Kyte shut it down with a check this time and Sepiol checked it back. Kyte turned over 5♥5♣ but Sepiol had the goods with A♦J♦ to claim the pot.

Jeff Madsen raised to 50,000 in early position and Yusei Iyama three-bet to 125,000 on the button. Madsen then moved all in for 405,000, and Iyama quickly called.

Jeff Madsen: Q♥Q♣ All in
Yusei Iyama: J♦J♣

Madsen had Iyana dominated with his queens, and the 8♠9♣K♣10♠6♠ board kept him in front to earn him a double up.

The next hand at this table, Johnny Tan opened to 105,000 in the hijack and Toby Lewis moved all in from the small blind. Tan called for 300,000.

Johnny Tan: K♠K♥ All in
Toby Lewis: A♦J♥

Tan was finally ahead in an all-in encounter and improved to top set on the K♦10♦9♣ flop. The turn was the 7♠, but the 8♠ fell on the river to give Lewis a straight and send Tan to the rail in 24th place.

Brandon Sunshine limped in from the small blind before Dan Sepiol raised to 100,000 in the big blind. Sunshine then reraised to 650,000, Sepiol moved all in, and Sunshine took a peek at the tournament clock before calling for one more 5,000 chip.

Brandon Sunshine: J♦10♦ All in
Dan Sepiol: A♠Q♣

Sepiol hit two pair on the Q♥2♥2♦ flop to take a big lead in the pot, while Sunshinen picked up a straight draw on the 9♥ turn. The river 9♣ was no help, and Sunshine was sent to the rail.

Adi Aizin opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Abu Gazal Ezra three-bet to 150,000 on the button. Jon Kyte four-bet to 375,000 in the big blind and Aizin five-bet shoved all in for 735,000. Gazal Ezra thought for a moment before mucking his cards but Kyte instantly called.

Adi Aizin: K♥K♣All in
Jon Kyte: A♣A♦

Kyte picked up the best starting hand in hold'em once again and Aizin was fighting an uphill battle. The board ran out J♣5♥4♥5♣2♦ and Aizin was forced to the payout desk after another cooler.

Jack Hardcastle moved all in for 275,000 in the hijack and Loic Dobrigna called in the cutoff.

Jack Hardcastle: 3♠3♦ All in
Loic Dobrigna: A♦Q♠

Hardcastle quickly fell behind on the 9♦Q♣8♦ flop as Dobrigna hit top pair. The rest of the board ran out 2♠4♠ and Hardcastle was eliminated.

At another table, Johnny Tan was all in for 200,000 from the button and up against Terrance Reid in the big blind.

Johnny Tan: 2♣2♦ All in
Terrance Reid: 10♣9♣

Tan remained in the lead on the Q♥K♦4♣ flop, but Reid hit a pair on the 9♦ turn to move in front. The river, though, was the 2♥ and Tan caught another miracle to double up.

"In this tournament, when you're all in, you're just unbeatable," Reid told him.

"We all are," Jeff Madsen chimed in.
