Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
In the first hand we saw a short stack move all in and Christopher Dimmig called on the button, Stephen Graner in the small blind tanked for a while and checked his cards. He ended up folding, admitting to his opponents he'd folded pocket queens.
Shortie: 
Dimmig: 
The board ran out 
and Dimmig scooped a nice pot.
The very next hand would see a bigger pot develop, starting with a Filip Vanherck raise and Dimmig jumping into the action again. By the turn the board showed 
, Vanherck bet 167,000 and Dimmig raised to 335,000. The Belgian then tanked for minutes before announcing all in.
Dimmig snap-called and tabled 
and Vanherck appeared a little shell-shocked when turning over his 
. The 
completed the board, and when all was done and dusted, the Belgian had about 250,000 left and a new chip leader was crowned.

Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Orez Mokedi opened for 35,000 and Curt Kohlberg clicked back to 60,000. Mokedi four-bet to 165,000 and after a brief tank Kohlberg called.
The flop came 
and Mokedi looked at Kohlberg and slid out a 110,000 wager. Kohlberg thought for 30 seconds and called.
The turn was the 
. Mokedi again looked at Kohlberg and this time put out 175,000. Kohlberg stared at the bet sitting in the center of the table and looked back at the four cards in the middle of the table. His eyes darted back and forth several times. Finally after a near five-minute tank, he reluctantly folded.

Sluzinski Falls to Anderson Again
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
We arrived at the table to see an all-in button in front of Bradley Anderson and Jeff Sluzinski reaching for chips to make the call. He happily flipped over 
and Anderson showed 
. By the time the river fell, Anderson had caught a 7-high straight to double up, sucking out versus Sluzinski once again. These two faced off with jacks and kings not long ago, and Anderson hit his jack on the river in that hand as well.
"You're the luckiest guy," Sluzinski moaned.
