Big Flop for Barrera
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After some back-and-forth preflop, Tony Barrera moved all in and Vincent Lemoine went deep into the tank. Eventually another player called the clock on him and he was given a countdown.
With two seconds left, Lemoine called to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.
Vincent Lemoine: A♣K♣
Tony Barrera: A♥Q♥
Lemoine was in the lead with his superior holding, but the flop of Q♣6♠3♦ was brutal for him as Barrera hit his queen to take the lead.
The turn 8♣ gave Lemoine some additional outs as he improved to a flush draw, but the 9♥ on the river did not do it for him and he was eliminated while Barrera soared into the chip lead.

Aces Hold for Kramer
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of 8♦3♦J♠, there was already 400,000 in the bloated pot when Asmare Bekalu and Matthew Kramer got it all in for heaps, with Kramer at risk.
Matthew Kramer: A♦A♥
Asmare Bekalu: K♦Q♦
Kramer was ahead with his pocket aces, but Bekalu was very much alive with his flush draw.
The board bricked out with the 7♣5♣ runout and Kramer's aces held to scoop the massive pot to boost him over 2,000,000 while Bekalu was left on life support.

Nguyen Puts Pressure on Ong
Level 21
: 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
David Ong opened to 55,000 from middle position and Joe Nguyen and Benjamin Garrick defended from the blinds.
The flop came out 3♦4♠J♦ and action checked to Ong who continued for 55,000 but then Nguyen check-raised to 135,000 and Garrick quickly folded.
After some pause, Ong made the call and they went heads-up to the turn 2♣. Nguyen led out for 150,000 and Ong made the call once again to see the river fall the 10♠.
Nguyen fired again for 200,00 and Ong went into the tank for around 30 seconds before he decided to toss in his cards and the pot was awarded to Nguyen.

Sy Rockets into the Lead
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
In a huge heads-up pot with over 700,000 in the middle, the board read 4♦10♠7♦10♥K♥ when William Pinheiro in the bug blind checked over to Michael Sy in the cutoff.
Sy then set out a bet of 175,000 and Pinheiro went briefly into the tank before he tossed out calling chips.
He was then shown J♣10♣ by Sy for trip tens and he let out a big sigh as he mucked his hand. Sy was then pushed the million-chip pot to rocket his stack to over 2,000,000.
