Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Hand #86: Jake Schindler limped in from the small blind with {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Ryan Riess checked his option with {10-Clubs}{2-Spades}. The flop came {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Schindler fired a bet of 60,000 which got through.

Hand #87: Schindler opened to 150,000 on the button holding {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Tollerene defended with {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The flop came {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Tollerene check-called a bet of 125,000 from Schindler. The {7-Spades} landed on the turn, slowing down the action as both players checked. The {a-Diamonds} rolled off on the river and Tollerene checked one more time. Schindler fired a bet of 275,000 which Tollerene called right away and the two players chopped the pot.

Hand #88: Tollerene just called from the small blind with {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Schindler woke up with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} in the big blind. He raised it up to 225,000 and Tollerene disposed of his cards.

Hands #81-85: Schindler Slow-Plays Aces, Can't Get Any Value

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Hand #81: Small blind wasn't in play after Cary Katz' exit and Jake Schindler opened to 130,000 with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Ben Tollerene called from the big blind with {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Interestingly, Schindler checked back on both {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and {Q-Hearts} turn. Tollerene, however, wasn't falling into the trap and checked for the third time after the {5-Clubs} river double-paired the board. Schindler finally slid 160,000 in front of him but he didn't earn any extra money from Tollerene.

Hand #82: Tollerene completed with jack-four offsuit but folded to Schindler's raise out of the big blind.

Hand #83: This time Schindler limped in from the small blind with a weak jack, holding {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Riess repeated the big blind strategy from the previous hand and priced it up with his {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Schindler followed Tollerene's pattern and folded.

Hand #84: Schindler opened the button with {A-Hearts}{5-Spades} but he found no action as both Riess and Tollerene peeled rags.

Hand #85: Tollerene and Schindler met in a limped blind-versus-blind pot as the flop fell {9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, hitting Schindler's {J-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Tollerene led out 90,000 with {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Schindler stuck around with his bottom pair.

Tollerene picked up a gutshot on the {3-Diamonds} turn and he barreled for 240,000. Schindler gave up and Tollerene nearly tied him in chips.

Hand #80: Ben Tollerene opened to 125,000 in the cutoff with {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Cary Katz defended with the suited {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The flop came {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and both players checked to the {2-Diamonds} on the turn.

Katz led out for 200,000 after picking up a flush draw, but Tollerene wasn't going anywhere with the larger flush draw. The river brought the {7-Diamonds}, completing the flush for both players. Katz shipped all in and was snap-called by Tollerene. Katz thought he hit the gin card on the river but unfortunately, he was the one to hit the rail in fourth place.

"I can beat a flush draw, that's it," Katz said as he pushed his cards to the muck.

Hand #78: Tollerene raised it up with {10-Spades}{6-Clubs} in the small blind and Schindler quickly folded his big blind.

Hand #67: Schindler just called with {k-Spades}{6-Clubs} in the small blind and Ryan Riess checked his big blind with {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Schindler led out for 50,000, good enough to earn him the pot.

Hand #68: In a limped pot preflop, the dealer spread the flop of {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Riess led out with {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} from the small blind which prompted Katz to fold his rags.

Hand #69: Riess raised to 125,000 on the button with {a-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Tollerene defended with {q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Tollerene check-called a bet of 100,000 from Riess. The {9-Spades} landed on the turn and both players checked to the {10-Hearts} on the river. Both players checked again and Tollerene raked in the pot.

Hand #70: Riess opened to 115,000 from the cutoff with {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Schindler made the call with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} in the big blind.

Hand #61: Small blind Cary Katz shoved on Ben Tollerene with {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Tollerene folded jack-six.

Hand #62: Action folded to Tollerene who gave Jack Schindler a walk, folding his seven-five offsuit.

Hand #63: Jake Schindler limped in with {K-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Ryan Riess checked with {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Riess saw one of the better flops for his deuces, hitting an open-ended straight draw on {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Schindler led out 50,000 and Riess called before both checked the {3-Hearts} turn.

The {A-Spades} river filled Riess with a wheel and he valued it at 85,000 after Schindler checked to him. The bet remained uncalled and Riess claimed the pot without showing his straight.

Hand #64: Tollerene was first to act and he moved all-in for 225,000 with {K-Spades}{5-Spades}. Big blind Cary Katz called off with {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} to put Tollerene at risk.
