Hold'em

Connor Berkowitz raised it up from middle position and Ismael Bojang defended from the big blind. The flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Bojang check-called a bet from Berkowitz.

Both players checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and then Bojang bet when the {7-Hearts} hit the river. Berkowitz called and Bojang tabled {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two pair to take the pot, leaving Berkowitz with around 15,000 chips.

In the next hand, Berkowitz raised again and Bojang re-raised, enough to put Berkowitz to the test for his remaining chips. Bojang flipped over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} against the {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} of Berkowitz. The board ran out {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Bojang's pocket aces held on for the elimination.

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Hold'em

The table change has been rough for both remaining short stacks and the two players would end up battling it out in the following hand.

Phamolivo moved all in and Chung quickly called, players then revealed their hands. Phamolivo tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for bottom pair and Chung showed {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for a higher pair. Phamolivo was fortunate enough to hit a {2-Hearts} on the river for trips to take down the pot, leaving Chung with crumbs.
