Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Paulo Goncalves got his last 257,000 in the middle from late position with {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and was called by an opponent on his left who had {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The {7-}{5-}{k-} flop favored Goncalves. The {q-} turn made it so he had a few cards to dodge but the {6-} river was safe for him.

Trudeau Gets River Value

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

In a pot that looked to have seen a few raises preflop, Jeff Trudeau was on the button and called 150,000 from the small blind on {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The turn {a-Spades} got checked through and the river was a {6-Hearts}. The small blind checked and snap-called 275,000, and Trudeau had the winner with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Jeckeln Sees a Sour River

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Andres Jeckeln opened to 36,000 from middle position, and action folded to the big blind who called.

Both players checked the {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop as the turn landed the {K-Hearts}. The big blind checked, Jeckeln bet 50,000, and his opponent called.

Both players then checked back the {3-Clubs} on the river, and the big blind tabled his {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for trips.

Jeckeln flashed the {6-Clubs}, and dropped to 4.8 million in chips.

Deeb on Fire

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

It wasn't long ago that Shaun Deeb had about 200,000 left. Now, he's soared past 1.5 million as his latest come-up saw him bust a player who got the last few chips in on a {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop. Deeb held the nuts with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and he was fading only {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. The {7-Spades} ended it on the turn.

Kitai Shoves Into Aces

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

Davidi Kitai opened to 35,000 from under the gun and Tony Miles three-bet to 115,000 just a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Kitai who four-bet jammed all in for around 350,000. Miles snapped him off and it was for good reason.

Tony Miles: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Davidi Kitai: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Miles was still well out front with his pocket aces. The {3-Hearts} on the turn meant Kitai was drawing to one of two tens in the deck. The river brought the {9-Spades} and the table all gasped as they thought it was a ten. Unfortunately for Kitai, it was not and he was sent to the payout desk.

Haro Eliminates Elias to Vault to the Top

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Darren Elias
Darren Elias

Alexander Haro is now sitting behind a mountain of chips and he filled us in on just how he acquired them. According to Haro he raised to 35,000 and Darren Elias re-raised to 110,000 from the button. Haro called and they went heads up to the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop.

Haro check-called a bet of 90,000 from Elias and the turn was the {4-Diamonds}. Haro led out with a bet of 200,000 and Elias called.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and Haro moved all in covering Elias who had 550,000 behind. Elias called showing {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a straight but Haro showed {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a rivered flush.

Elias was eliminated and Haro now finds himself at the top of the chip counts with less than one level of play left in the night.
