Hand #25 - Raj Jain Doubles Through Michael Trimby

Hand #25 - Michael Trimby has the button in seat 8, Dirksen limps for 40,000, Trimby moves all in from the button, Jain calls all in from the small blind, and Dirksen folds. Trimby shows {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, but he's dominated by Jain's {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

The board comes {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and Jain's pocket aces hold up to win the pot. Jain doubles up to 785,000 in chips, while Trimby is crippled down to just 65,000.

Hand #27

Hand #27 - Darren Glenn has the button in seat 1, and everyone folds to Esposito, giving him a walk in the big blind.

Hand #28

Hand #28 - Nam Le has the button in seat 2, Esposito limps from the small blind for 40,000 with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, and Dirksen reraises from the small blind to 125,000 with {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Esposito channels Crocodile Dundee as he says, "That's not a raise. This is a raise." Esposito moves all in, and Dirksen folds. Esposito takes the pot.

Hand #29

Hand #29 - John Esposito has the button in seat 3, and Young and Dirksen see a flop of {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Dirksen bets, Young moves all in, and Dirksen folds. The holecams reveal:

Dirksen: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Young: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
