Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Motoyoshi Okamura went all-in for 700,000 from the small blind with Emmanuel Kahan in the big blind with 230,000 behind, who decided to call and the cards went face-up.

Motoyoshi Okamura: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Emmanuel Kahan: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} which gave Okamura a set of fours on the flop and left Kahan drawing to a full house. The two pair never filled up and Kahan was eliminated by Okamura.

Big Flop for Dixon

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

No-Limit Hold'em

Richard Dixon raised under the gun to 33,000 and Tim Grau defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Grau check-called a bet of 80,000.

The {10-Clubs} hit the turn and once Grau checked, Dixon fired again, this time for 112,000. Grau took his time and eventually tossed his cards into the muck.

"It was a huge flop for me," Said Dixon.

"Show then," Responded Grau.

Dixon reached into the muck pile and pulled his hand out to show the {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} as he raked in the pot.
