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

Christoph Vogelsang raised it up to 55,000 in the cutoff and called a 185,000-shove from Enrico Camosci on the button.

Enrico Camosci: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Christoph Vogelsang: {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The board came {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for an easy double. Vogelsang was left with a little under 600,000 and got those in the next hand versus Brian Altman. Both players had ace-queen and chopped it up.

Rheem Jams Into Tang; Shows Flush

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

Chino Rheem opened to 60,000 and Danny Tang came along from the big blind. On the {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, Tang checked and called a bet of 70,000 before doing so again for 150,000 on the {Q-Clubs} turn. The {7-Hearts} fell on the river and Tang checked the third street in a row, prompting Rheem to move all in for 400,000.

Tang immediately grabbed all his time bank chips and splashed them in the middle of the table. Some small talk between him and Rheem emerged, but the usual banter of Rheem was not as present. Eventually, Tang was taken by surprise when his last time bank was about to run out and his hand was declared dead a few seconds later.

"Are you guys okay with me showing the card to him and you take my word I had it?" Rheem asked the other players on the table and they agreed. Rheem pushed his cards over to Tang, who was about to peek at them, when Rheem grabbed them.

"Fuck, I don't care," he said and smashed the {10-Spades}{9-Spades} in the middle.

Veksler Jams Into Simao

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

Joao Simao made it 50,000 to go in middle position and Pavel Veksler called from one seat over. The flop brought {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and both players checked. After the {K-Hearts} turn, Simao bet 65,000 and Veksler raised to 175,000, which Simao called after using one time bank extension.

Simao then bet the {A-Clubs} river for 95,000 and Veksler moved all in to force a fold from Simao.

Altman Chips Up Without Showdown

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

Bob Bounahra raised to 50,000 and picked up two callers including Enrico Camosci and Brian Altman in the blinds. On the {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, Camosci checked and Altman bet 60,000. Bounahra used one time bank to fold, while Camosci called. They checked the {A-Hearts} turn and Camosci bet the {9-Spades} river for 30,000. Altman raised to 300,000 and Camosci folded.

Since the Italian had raise-folded against Simon Deadman previously, he dropped to around 10 big blinds.

Camosci Keeps Fighting

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

Blind versus blind against Brian Altman, Enrico Camosci bet 60,000 on a {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop and Altman called. On the {8-Clubs} turn, Camosci check-called 140,000 from Altman, leaving himself with 315,000 behind, but check-folded to a push on the {10-Clubs} river.

In the two subsequent hands, Camosci open-shoved twice and picked up the blinds and ante each time to get to 435,000.

A Lot of Jamming

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

Joao Simao three-bet all in for 580,000 once to force folds and jammed into Matthias Eibinger once more after a ten-high flop, neither of which was called by the Austrian.

Over on the other table, Brian Altman opened to 50,000 and Bob Bounahra got his last 340,000 in from one seat over. Again, there was no showdown and Bounahra collected urgently needed chips.

Back to the other outer table, Matt Berkey raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Joao Simao three-bet to 180,000. Pavel Veksler four-bet all in for around 1.35 million and everyone got out of the way.

One for Camosci

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

Enrico Camosci raised to 50,000 first to act and Christoph Vogelsang called in the big blind. Vogelsang check-called a bet of 35,000 on the {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and the {3-Clubs} turn and {A-Diamonds} river brought no betting action.

Vogelsang turned over {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Camosci had that beat with {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}, leaving Vogelsang with a shaking hand.
