Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Zachary Gruneberg and Jason Wheeler have no doubt locked horns countless times during their online poker exploits and have clashed here in the Monster Stack in Las Vegas.

Gruneberg was on the button and he three-bet jammed all-in over the top of an opening raise from late position. Jason Wheeler reshoved from the small blind, the big blind folded, as did the original raiser.

"Oh it's a flip!" said Gruneberg when he saw his was facing the of Wheeler.

Gruneberg took the lead on the flop and remained in front through the turn and the river.

Ludovic is the Riehl Deal

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

French pro Ludovic Riehl is up to 850,000 chips and looking good to record his largest-ever World Series of Poker cash. Riehl has a handful of cashes at the WSOP, with the largest topping the scales at $18,095. That result came almost two weeks ago in the $5,000 Eight-Handed No Limit Hold'em event and if he wants to better it, and why would he not want to, he needs to finish 63rd or better in this event.

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Mathew Frankland and Tom Alner finished the last level on a heater and both now have seven-figure stacks as a result.

Frankland has already recorded his fourth World Series of Poker cash by reaching the money in this event and looks set for a deep run here in the Monster Stack. Frankland had a deep run in the 2011 WSOP Main Event where he eventually finished in 121st place for $54,851.

Alner has plenty of chips in front of him and could also go very deep in this event. Alner's best WSOP cash came in 2012 when he finished fourth in a $1,500 buy-in no limit event for a career-best score of $207,019.
