Tyler Boyer

Level 24 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Thomas Muehloecker opened the action with a raise from early position to 550,000, and Moonho Seo in the hijack three-bet to 1,500,000, leaving just 250,000 behind. It folded back to Muehloecker who four-bet to put Seo all in, and he quickly made the call.

Moonho Seo: 10♥10♣ All in
Thomas Muehloecker: K♠J♦

Seo was ahead with his pocket tens, but would need to win the race to stay in the tournament. The board ran out 2♣3♦A♥Q♣6♠ and the pocket tens of Seo were still best, giving him the double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Tom Fuchs raised to 450,000 from middle position, and was called by Leonard Maue in the big blind.

After the flop came 10♣7♣6♦ Maue decided to lead out for a bet of 300,000, which Fuchs called.

The turn brought the 9♠ and Fuchs again called a bet from Maue, this time for 600,000.

After the 7♠ on the river, Maue bet out again, this time for 2,400,000, and Fuchs quickly made the call. Maue turned over J♠3♠ for just jack high, and Fuchs scooped the pot with 8♥8♦ for a straight.

Leonard Maue raised to 400,000 in the hijack and Moonho Seo defended in the big blind.

The flop came 3♠9♦4♦ and Seo check-called a bet of 250,000 from Maue.

The 10♥ turn went check-check, bringing the A♦ river. Seo fired out a bet of 700,000 and after a brief moment of thought, Maue flicked in the call.

Maue tabled A♣3♣ for two pair, aces and treys, besting the K♠5♠ of Seo.

Nick Becker

Level 22 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action folded around to Punnat Punsri in the cutoff who used two time banks cards before raising to 800,000, leaving himself with 25,000 behind. Fedor Holz then three-bet all in from the big blind with the covering stack and Punsri tossed his last chip into the pot.

Punnat Punsri: 5♦5♠ All in
Fedor Holz: A♣Q♣

It was a fair fight, but Holz pulled ahead on the K♥A♦3♠ flop, pairing his ace. The Q♥ turn and 10♦ river offered no help to Punsri and he was sent to the rail.
