Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Hasmukh Khodiyara moved all in from cutoff for 2,000,000, exactly ten big blinds. Christopher Brammer went into the tank and looked resigned to making an awkward call with his hand, which he did. Players flipped their cards, with Khodiyara at risk.

Hasmukh Khodiyara: K♦9♣ All in
Christopher Brammer: 4♣4♦

It was a flip and Khodiyara ended up on the right side of it when he flopped a pair of kings on the 10♥K♥7♠10♦6♠ board. He won the pot and doubled his stack, taking a chunk from the start of day chip leader Brammer.

Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Mohamed Kerkeni open-raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and Tuan Le three-bet to 1,075,000 from the big blind. Kerkeni then four-bet all in and Le stood up to make his decision before quickly spinning around and announcing his call for 7.2 million chips. He was slightly covered as players flipped their cards for a huge final table hand.

Tuan Le: Q♠Q♥ All in
Mohamed Kerkeni: A♥K♣

It was the most classic of poker races and the board ran out 10♥8♣J♥9♣7♥ to give Le the queen-high straight. He won the pot and secured a huge double up that put him well in front as the dominant chip leader.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tuan Le	14,900,000 7,400,000	7,400,000
Mohamed Kerkeni	1,500,000 6,400,000	6,400,000

Tuan Le open-raised to 300,000 from the hijack and Christopher Brammer called on the button. Both players checked on the 2♦8♣K♣ flop and checked again on the 4♣ turn.

The river came the 9♣ and Le checked a third time. Brammer fired out a bet of 750,000 and Le took a moment before flicking in a chip to make the call. Brammer showed Q♣10♣ for a flush.

"Nice hand," said Le as he mucked his cards and Brammer took the pot.
