Diane Walker raised to 130,000 first to act and was called by Saurabh Gulati in the next seat, as well as Nic Ioannoy in the small blind. Ioannoy led the Q♠9♠5♦ flop for 200,000 and folded to the shove of Walker, somewhat disgruntled.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Colin Horgan raised to 120,000 with the A♦K♥ and Ronit Chamani came along in the big blind with K♣5♣. The flop came A♣4♦2♣ and Chamani check-called for 100,000 with her nut flush draw and wheel draw. The 9♠ turn changed nothing and Chamani check-called for another 320,000 before they checked the 5♦ river.

"Ace-king," Horgan announced and won the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nic Ioannoy raised from under the gun and earned three callers on the outer table in Diane Walker on the button, Saurabh Gulati in the small blind and Giovanni Zanette in the big blind.

The flop came 4♦3♣2♣ and it checked to Ioannoy, who bet 225,000. Walker called and Gulati then pushed all-in for 1,525,000.

Two folds later, it was on Walker and Gulati looked at her, then said "I will show you".

Walker reluctantly folded the K♣9♣ for the flush draw and Gulati exposed 8♦8♥ for an overpair.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Gareth Fourie pushed all-in from the cutoff for 620,000 and Diane Walker asked for a count on the button.

"Are you gonna call me this time?" Fourie said and Walker did make the call. Saurabh Gulati tank-folded in the small blind.

Gareth Fourie: Q♠Q♦ All in
Diane Walker: 9♣9♠

"Jack ten of hearts," Gulati said and Nic Ioannoy remarked "why do you tank so long with that?"

The superior pocket pair remained ahead on the 6♠4♣3♥2♣8♦ board and Fourie nearly closed the gap to Fourie.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action is heating up on the outer table and Gareth Fourie took a chunk out of Nic Ioannoy. He then battled with Saurabh Gulati and defended the big blind. On the A♦J♥9♦ flop, Fourie check-called for 250,000 and checked the 8♣ turn. Gulati bet 380,000 and Fourie checked his cards very high in the one seat with nobody around to potentially see them.

He then pushed all-in and Gulati let the shot clock run down to five seconds before asking for a count. The shove was for 1,580,000, another 1.2 million on top. Gulati folded after some chatter back and forth, exposing the 9♥ while Fourie exposed his 10♦8♥ for an inferior pair and straight draw.
