Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Sadan Turker open-raised to 75,000 and Hunter Frey reraised to 185,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Turker flatted.

The flop came the {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Turker checked, prompting a 215,000 bet from Frey. Turker called.

The turn brought a {7-Spades} and Turker checked again. Not slowing down, Frey fired a 375,000 bet into the pot. Turker quickly moved all in for Frey's remaining stack and Frey silently mucked.

Turker is up to 3,765,000 while Frey has slipped to 1,295,000.

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jonathan Driscoll - 10th Place

Max Weinberg open-raised to 70,000 from middle position and Jonathan Driscoll reraised nearly all in for 450,000. Weinberg reraised enough to put Driscoll all in and Driscoll called off his remaining few chips.

Weinberg: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Driscoll: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} put Driscoll in the lead, but a {9-Hearts} fell on the turn, leaving Driscoll drawing dead. An irrelevant {5-Clubs} landed on the river and Driscoll was sent to the rail.

Weinberg is now up to 2,050,000
