Hall Climbs Over 2 Million

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

With a completed board reading {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts} in front of them and about a 400,000 chip pot staring back, Galen Hall bet 165,000 sending his heads-up opponent into the tank.

Several moments went by before another player at the table called the clock. The floor arrived to start the timer but Hall's opponent made the call.

Hall tabled the {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and his pair of tens were good enough to get his opponent to muck.

Kudrjavcevs' Kings Hold

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The action was opened with a raise from middle position before the player on the button went all in. Eduards Kudrjavcevs in the big blind called and the initial raiser folded.

Eduards Kudrjavcevs: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Board: {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The flop and turn were safe for Kudrjavcevs, and although his opponent picked up the nut flush draw, he held on the river to score an elimination and move up to 2 million.
