Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Keith Brennan made it 40,000 to go with the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} in the hijack and Robbie McCormack three-bet to 110,000 in the cutoff with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Brennan called and flopped top pair on {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, on which he check-called a bet of 135,000.

On the {2-Clubs} turn, Brennan checked and called a second barrel for 150,000 before checking the {4-Clubs} river. McCormack bet half the pot for 350,000 and

Outer Table

Andy Black raised it up and Joseph Ellis three-bet to 160,000 in the big blind. Black four-bet all in for a shade shy of 400,000 and picked up an instant call.

Andy Black: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Joseph Ellis: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

"Guess I need to get lucky this time," Black said and found some hope on the {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop, but the {10-Spades} turn and {3-Clubs} river were both blanks to send Black out in 14th place.

Limited Action on Both Tables

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Keith Brennan raised small with the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Paul Jux Holderness called with the [6d6]. The flop brought {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Brennan bet 70,000 with the middle set, Jux Holderness simply sent his cards into the muck.

Henri Koivisto limped the {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} in the small blind, but folded to the splashy raise of Per Helge Gassand, who held pocket aces.

The outer table has barely provided any action past the flop and Jakub Groblewski maintained his short stack with a three-bet shpve.

Flush for McCloskey

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Mick McCloskey raised to 50,000 first to act and was called by David Schable one seat over and Julien Kron in the big blind. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and action checked to Schable, who ber 66,000. Kron called and McCloskey folded. The {8-Clubs} turn was check-folded by Kron, who had faced a bet of 126,000 by his fellow countryman.

The next hand was a battle of the blinds between Kron and McCloskey, which ended up expensive for Kron. On the {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} river, Kron check-called a bet of 150,000 and mucked when he was shown the {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a flopped flush.

Kron Under Pressure on Outer Table

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Outer Table

With the flop showing {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Patrick Clarke check-raised from 57,000 to 165,000 and Julien Kron moved all in to force an instant fold from Clarke.

However, the tides turned soon after for Kron. David Schable check-shoved the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts} turn and Kron forfeited his bet of 190,000. Both Frenchman exchanged some words in their own language, which Mick McCloskey inquired about.

It was then McCloskey that took on Kron in a battle button versus cutoff. Kron check-called 75,000 on {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and check-folded the {8-Diamonds} turn when facing a second bet of 120,000.
