Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chino Rheem opened to 16,000 from the hijack. Matthew Wantman had been reduced to 4,000 after a previous hand, and called off with his remaining chips from the button before Darren Elias defended from the big blind.

The flop came K♦8♦4♠ and Elias check-folded to a 20,000 bet from Rheem.

Matthew Wantman: Q♦Q♣ All in
Chino Rheem: J♦9♦

The rest of the board ran out 6♦10♣, giving Rheem a flush to eliminate Wantman.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bin Duan limped from the small blind, leaving 53,000 behind. Alex Foxen shoved from the big blind with a covering stack and Duan called, putting himself at risk.

Bin Duan: Q♥J♣ All in
Alex Foxen: 7♦6♣

Foxen took the lead with trips on the 6♠6♥Q♦ flop, while Duan had two pair. The 4♦ turn changed nothing for either player before the Q♣ river gave Duan queens full of sixes to double through Foxen.

Alex Foxen	550,000 350,000	350,000
