Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Louie Cohen raised it up to 85,000 and was called by Kyle Aiken from his small blind.

Aiken checked the flop, Cohen continued for 80,000 and Aiken came along. The dealer spread the turn, and after Aiken checked again Cohen moved all in, which got a check-fold from Aiken.

Cajelais and Russell Ousted by Anderson

LisaY

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Three players were all in preflop. Erik Cajelais was down to fumes and had got it in, as had Kyle Anderson and Matt Russell.

Kyle Anderson:
Matt Russell:
Erik Cajelais:

It was a cooler for Matt Rusell, who'd run a very premium hand into Anderson's aces and when the completed board was out, it was a double knockout scored for Anderson, who is on the rise.

Robinson Doesn't Mess Around

LisaY

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Colin Robinson had opened to 80,000 under the gun and only Meder Suyundukov wanted to play, defending his big blind.

On a flop, Robinson set Suyundukov all in when checked to and it didn't take Suyundukov long to decide to fold.

Trofimov Gets Lucky

LisaY

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jeff Gross opened to 100,000 in early position and Dragos Trofimov moved all in for 825,000 in middle position. Siddharth Mundada was sat on his left and he went all in for 1,000,000. Back on Gross and he told Mundada that he would fold as he thought he had two queens. Gross wasn't too far off when the cards were turned over.

Dragos Trofimov:
Siddharth Mundada:

Trofimov was looking for an ace and there was one in the window on the flop. With no case king on the turn or river, the pot was Trofimov's. Relieved, the Moldovan said "phew, that was a big one!" as he breathed a sigh of relief.
