Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

It was a family pot after Dan Wagner made it 100,000 and Charles Johnson and Rick Block both called. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} and when it checked to Wagner, he bet 160,000. Johnson folded and Block raised it up to 365,000.

Wagner raised it up to 740,000 and Block four-bet shoved. Wagner called it off with the {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} but was on the wrong side of a classic cooler with Block holding the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} set.

The board finished up {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} taking Wagner out third and sending Block into heads-up play with a big lead over Johnson.
