Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

Vi Do moved all in for his final 350,000 Ludovic Geilich was the only player who called and they went off to the races.

Ludovic Geilich: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Vi Do: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} and Do suddenly had a lot more outs after that flop. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} so Geilich needed to hit a seven, but the river was the {9-Diamonds} and Do took the pot down with two pair.

Kim Eliminateds Fedorkevich

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Hyon Kim and Jimmy Fedorkevich got all their chip in the middle and we arrived when the entire board was already dealt.

Kim had {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} in front of him and Fedorkevich was holding {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The community cards that were on the table were {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and that meant the kings of Kim were the strongest hand. After a second count, it was confirmed that Fedorkevich had fewer chips than Kim and he was sent to the cashier.

Ruthless River Earns a Double Up for Levy

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Adam Levy
Adam Levy

After a raise in late position from John Botticello, Adam Levy moved all in for 422,000. Action folded around back to Botticello who called.

Adam Levy: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
John Botticello: {Q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} which kept Botticello in the lead with his queens and the {5-Clubs} on the turn was safe as well. The river was the {K-Diamonds} though and that would earn Levy the pot as he made a pair of kings to double up to almost 900,000 chips.
