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

Michael Berk raised to 50,000 under the gun before Matthew Beinner three-bet to 125,000 in the hijack. Berk folded and Beinner took the pot.

Baurzhan Akimov then opened to 50,000 under the gun, and Beinner again three-bet to 125,000 in middle position. Akimov took a moment to eye down Beinner's stack, but he also gave up his hand. "I had better than the last one," Beinner said.

Beinner then raised to 40,000 under the gun, but this time he was the one facing a three-bet as Jesse Yaginuma made it 140,000 in the hijack. Beinner folded.
