Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jeff Banghart raised to 100,000 again and Ekrem Bozkurt was the only called from a couple of seats over. The dealer spread the flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} which spurred the action.

Banghart continued for 75,000 and Bozkurt bumped it up to 200,000. Banghart stuck in a three-bet to 625,000 only to have Bozkurt four-bet shove all in for 2,015,000. Banghart leaned back in his chair as the other players at the table got up from their seats. After a couple of minutes, Banghart dumped his cards in the muck and Bozkurt dragged in the pot.

White Leaves Fisher with Crumbs

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Mark Fisher opened to 90,000 from early position and Greg White shipped all in for 435,000 on his left. The action folded back to Fisher who contemplated his decision for a couple of minutes before making the call.

Greg White: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Mark Fisher: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Fisher was still in the lead with his pocket tens. However, the {a-Clubs} on the turn paired White's ace and Fisher was left drawing to two outs. The river was the {j-Diamonds} and White found himself a full double up.

The players are heading on their last 15-minute break of the evening. There will be two more levels remaining before the players bag and tag for the night.
