Frank Visser

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Alex Anton was on the button and raised to 1,000,000. Yiwen Yuan called in the big blind, and she check-called Anton's continuation-bet of 1,000,000 on the 7♦2♦4♠ flop.

After Yuan checked the 7♣ turn, Anton checked behind. Yuan then fired 2,300,000 on the 5♦ river, which Anton called after a bit of thought.

Yuan tabled king-high with K♥8♦. Anton comfortably won the pot with his Q♦Q♣, allowing him to cross the 50-million mark once more.

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Juho Suutari had just 1,400,000 remaining when he moved all in on the button. Jingyao Yan was in the big blind, and he looked Suutari up.

Juho Suutari: 7♠7♥ All in
Jingyao Yan: J♠6♦

Yan had just one overcard, but he connected with it on the J♣Q♥Q♣ flop. No sevens appeared on the 6♥ turn or 10♣ river, sending Suutari out in 17th and leaving two tables in play.

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Anatolii Savin pushed all in for 5,950,000 from the hijack, and Mohamed El-Wely quickly called in the big blind.

Anatolii Savin: A♠J♦ All in
Mohamed El-Wely: A♣2♣

El-Wely had flopped a flush to lock up the pot, and Savin exited the feature table as the 9♦ and 4♣ river were added to the board.

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Mohamed El-Wely was first to act and raised to 1,000,000. It folded ot big blind Yiwen Yuan, who tossed in defending chips.

The pair checked through the 3♦J♠3♣ flop as well as the Q♠ turn. Yuan then bet 1,000,000 on the 9♦ river, and El-Wely instantly called.

Yuan had rivered a straight with 10♠8♥, and El-Wely could not help but smile as he retuned A♠4♣ to the muck.

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Paulius Vaitiekunas open-raised his button to 1,000,000. Mohamed El-Wely defended in the big blind.

Both players checked the 6♥5♣8♥ flop. El-Wely still checked on the J♦ turn, but Vaitiekunas aggressed with a bet of 1,300,000. El-Wely snap-called to the 4♦ river, where El-Wely checked a third time.

Vaitiekunas sized up to 1,700,000, and El-Wely called to showdown. Vaitiekunas' A♦K♥ had remained ace-high, so El-Wely's hero-calls with 5♦3♣ earned him the pot.
