Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Amit Ashkenazi put his big stack to use and raised big with Peng Wang calling all-in thereafter.

Peng Wang: K♦10♣ All in
Amit Ashkenazi: 4♠4♦

The pocket pair held on the 9♥2♦2♠9♠J♠ board.

Shortly after that, Adrian Chua was all-in for 475,000 via open shove. Ashkenazi called and Kjetil Engvoldsen called all-in for the last 235,000 in the big blind.

Kjetil Engvoldsen: 6♥4♦ All in
Adrian Chua: A♠7♣ All in
Amit Ashkenazi: A♦J♦

The best hand could not hold all the way on the 10♠5♥2♣9♥6♦ board as Engvoldsen tripled up in the main pot, though, Chua bowed out against Ashkenazi as well.
