Hand #20: Gilsoo Kim moved in from the hijack and everyone folded around so he took down the pot.

Hand #21: [Removed:4] opened with a raise to 50,000 on the button and everyone folded so he took down the pot.

Hand #22: From the hijack seat Eric Baldwin opened with a raise to 55,000. Aaron Massey defended from the big blind.

The flop was {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {A-Diamonds} hit the turn. Both players checked once again.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Massey checked for a third time. Baldwin put out a bet of 80,000. Massey then sprung to life with a check-raise to 350,000. Baldwin tanked for a bit, then eventually decided to call. Massey showed down his {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the nut straight and that would earn him the big pot.

Hand #23: Aaron Massey limped in from the small blind and Michael Finstein made it 100,000 from the big blind. Massey called and the two took a flop.

On the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Massey checked and Finstein put out a bet of 75,000. Massey called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and both players checked. They checked again on the {K-Clubs} river and Massey showed down his {A-Spades}{8-Spades}. It was good enough to get a muck from Finstein so he took down the pot to move right around 2,800,000 chips.
