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

Ken Aldridge opened to 50,000 from early position and found one caller in Pete Chen in the big blind.

Chen check-called a 75,000 bet from Aldridge on the {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and both players checked on the {q-Diamonds} turn.

The {a-Diamonds} completed the board and Chen bet a hefty 300,000. Aldridge re-checked his cards before revealing a lone {q-} and mucking his hand.

Levin In the Blender

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

The board read the {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} on the turn. Jeremy Levin was in the midst of a big decision as he had bet 250,000. Mehdi Anooshahr raised to 575,000 to put Levin into a touch spot.

Levin talked it out loud while a few observers surrounded the table. He got out of his chair and stood up to think more. He considered calling the clock on himself before eventually he folded.

Anooshahr tabled the {8-}{8-} and Levin claimed that he folded the {k-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Arora on the Come Back

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Kyle Arora
Kyle Arora

Kyle Arora raised 47,000 from the hijack and Stephen Song called from the small blind.

The {7-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Spades} flop saw Song check-call the 40,000 continuation bet from Arora and the {a-Hearts} turn was checked by both players to the {q-Spades} river.

Song led out for 140,000 and Arora quickly tossed in a chip for a call.

Song showed {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for sevens and fours but it was no good as Arora showed {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to win the pot.

Aldemir and Lewis Claim Victims

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

The action folded around to Ben Yu on the button who ripped all in for his last 168,000. Koray Aldemir called from the small blind and the cards were on their backs.

Yu showed the {j-Hearts}{9-Spades} but ran into Aldemir's {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The {k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} ran out on the board and Yu was left drawing dead by the turn.

At a nearby table, Toby Lewis raised in middle position and the cutoff jammed all in for around 575,000. Lewis quickly called and flipped over the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. His opponent was in trouble with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} rolled out on the flop and despite his opponent making a pair of aces, Lewis flopped a set of kings. The {q-Spades} and the {q-Diamonds} runout only improved Lewis to a full house to eliminate his opponent.

Lowery's Cowboys Eliminate Opponent

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

A player in the big blind got their 650,000 or so chips in preflop against Daniel Lowery in middle position.

Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Daniel Lowery: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop left Lowery's opponent needing running cards to survive, but the {3-Hearts} and {10-Spades} completed the board to send him to the rail while Lowery chips up.

Chips Cascading to Colillas

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

The action was on the turn with the board reading the {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Laura Desantis bet 80,000 from the small blind. On the button, Ramon Colillas raised to 250,000, Desantis called after some thought.

The river came the {3-Hearts} to put four hearts on the board. The action went check-check. Desantis tabled the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} but that was beaten by the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} baby flush of Colillas who absorbed another pot into his massive stack.

Waxman Left Short After Battle with Nguyen

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Qui Nguyen
Qui Nguyen

There was heads-up action between Qui Nguyen from late position and Matt Waxman from the button.

The board read the {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and with roughly 350,000 in the middle, Nguyen check-jammed after Waxman fired out 180,000.

The bet put Waxman at risk and after some careful thought, he mucked his hand.

Vayssieres Bombs The River

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

Zachary Grech opened to 42,000 from middle position and was called by Nicolas Vayssieres in the cutoff and the player in the big blind.

Grech bet 56,000 on the {8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and only Vayssieres called.

The turn brought the {k-Spades} and Grech bet 67,000. Vayssieres again called.

Grech bet a bit over 40,000 on the {q-Hearts} heart river and Vayssieres raised to 415,000. Grech asked for a count and placed one chip into the middle to denote a call.

Vayssieres tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a full house and Grech said, "Nice hand," before mucking his hand — conceding the pot to Vayssieres.
