Guerra flopped a boat on the J♥J♣A♠ flop and after Sipila checked, Guerra bet 450,000. Sipila expectedly snap-folded.

In the next hand, "Dony" opened Q♦9♦8♦6♦ from the cutoff to 700,000 and Robert Cowen called A♣K♦9♣8♥ from the big blind.

The flop came 3♦2♥10♥ and after Cowen checked, "Dony" bet 550,000. Cowen laid it down.

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Samuli Sipila raised the cutoff to 875,000 with K♥7♠6♥4♠ and Martin Dam called from the big blind with A♣4♥3♥2♣.

Both saw the 5♠J♠8♠ flop and checked through to the 4♣ flop, where Dam asked how much was in the pot. Upon learning it was 2,125,000, he fired out 700,000, which Sipila called with his flush.

A J♣ fell on the river and Dam elected to check, which got a check back from Sipila, who took it down with his flush.

Kai Cocklin

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

"Dony" opened to 600,000 from the cutoff and Ben Lamb three-bet to 1,900,000 from the big blind, leaving 400,000 behind. "Dony" then shoved, and Lamb called.

Ben Lamb: K♦K♣Q♠Q♣ All in
"Dony": A♠10♦10♣9♠

Lamb needed his overpair to hold, but didn't get off to the best start as the 4♥J♦10♥ flop gave "Dony" middle set. There were outs for Lamb as any ace, king, queen, or nine would do the trick, but the 8♣ turn wasn't one of them. The 3♥ river was also a brick, and Lamb headed to the payout desk in eighth.

Dony	31,115,000 3,290,000	3,290,000

Ben Lamb	Busted

Laszlo Bujtas limped in from early position with A♥A♣8♣3♠ and Ben Lamb limped in from the hijack with A♦10♦9♠6♥. Robert Cowen limped J♠9♥9♣2♣ from the cutoff, and Lautaro Guerra checked Q♠J♦8♠7♠ in the big blind.

All four checked the 7♦7♣10♥ flop to the 5♦ turn, where Lamb bet 375,000 when it got to him. Guerra was the only one that called to see the 5♠ double-pair the board on the river.

It was checked down and Guerra took the pot with trip sevens.

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

"Dony" opened to 600,000 with K♣J♦9♥5♦ from early position and Robert Cowen called from the button with A♠K♦10♦5♠.

Both checked the 9♦10♥K♠ flop to the 6♦ turn, which gave both players a flush draw to go along with their two pair. "Dony" led for 700,000 and Cowen called.

An A♣ dropped on the river and both tapped the table, which meant Cowen took it down with a bigger two pair.

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Lautaro Guerra limped in from the small blind with J♠10♣8♦8♣ and "Dony" checked his option with 10♥10♦9♣5♥ from the big blind.

On the 4♥J♥K♣ flop, Guerra checked and then called a bet of 250,000 from "Dony" to see the J♣ turn. Both decided to check to the A♠ river, where Guerra bet 250,000 with his trips.

"Dony" thought for a little while, but eventually laid it down.

In the next hand, "Dony" limped the small blind with A♣5♣3♥2♣ and Laszlo Bujtas checked A♥Q♠8♠3♦ in the big blind.
