Calum Grant

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Emilien Pitavy raised to 6,000 from under the gun and was called by Masashi Oya from the next seat over. Harvey Jackson three-bet to 17,000 from the cutoff and was called by both opponents.

Jackson continued for 35,000 on the K♥10♦6♠ flop and only Oya called.

On the A♣ turn, Oya quickly called Jackson shove of 48,000 and the cards were tabled.

Harvey Jackson: K♠K♣ All in
Masashi Oya: 10♥10♣

Both players flopped sets, with Jackson's three kings out in front. He faded the one-outer as the 3♦ completed the board.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daehyung Lee opened with a raise to 4,000 from the hijack, before Hui Chen three-bet to 13,000 in the cutoff. It then folded to the big blind Javid Ismayilov, who four-bet to 45,000. Lee got out of the way, and Hui five-bet all in for his stack of 214,000, and Ismayilov made the call.

Hui Chen: K♦K♣ All in
Javid Ismayilov: 7♦7♣

Chen's pocket kings were in great shape to double and did just that after the board ran out Q♣K♥6♣J♦A♥ giving Chen top set and leaving Ismayilov on fumes.

Hui Chen	434,000 354,500	354,500
