Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Joseph Barrett raised to 60,000 from under the gun and found a call from Frank Funaro in the big blind.

Funaro checked the 2♥10♣3♣ flop and Barrett continued for 50,000. Funaro called and the K♠ turn hit the felt.

Both players checked to the 9♥ river, where Funaro took some time before leading out for 250,000. Barrett opted to stick in the call.

"Two pair," Funaro told Barrett while showing 9♠3♠. Barrett slid his cards into the muck and Funaro continued to chip up.

Frank Funaro	5,450,000 2,070,000	2,070,000

George Alberto raised to 75,000 in the cutoff and William Beer made the call on the button. Arkado Gadelov took a moment before sliding out a call from the big blind.

George Alberto: A♦K♦ All in
Arkado Gadelov: 9♥9♦

Gadelov was winning the flip, while the Q♦ turn gave Alberto some additional flush outs. The 5♦ river hit the felt, completing Alberto's flush and earning more than a double-up.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Adam Agaev was all in and at risk against Howard Feingold across the table.

Adam Agaev: 10♣10♥ All in
Howard Feingold: K♠K♥

Feingold was firmly in front and the Q♦4♦7♠ flop did nothing to change that. The J♣ turn was a blank, leaving Agaev drawing to a ten.

His prayers were answered on the 10♠ river, making a set to crack Feingold's kings and stay alive.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adam Agaev	2,100,000 2,020,000	2,020,000
Howard Feingold	640,000 583,000	583,000
