Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The action began under the gun where long time crusher, J.J. Liu, opened to 500,000. The player next to act flat called. There was a fold and then a player went into the tank for a moment before jamming 6,400,000 with Liu covering. Liu didn't think long before putting in the chips for a call. The player who flat called went into the tank and clearly had a tough decision. They were in the tank for over five minutes before they eventually folded.

Both players rolled over their hands.

At risk player: A♥Q♥
J.J. Liu: K♦K♠

Liu drills top set on 2♠10♣K♥. The 9♥ brought in a huge sweat for Liu as it gave her opponent a combo draw. The 5♦ river landed clean and Liu won a massive pot as the levels continue to fly up.

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

There was a late position open to 400,000 and action folded all the way to Kelly Holes who defended her big blind. The players were off to a flop heads up.

The Q♦7♠2♣ flop was checked over to the late position who put out a bet of 250,000. With action back on Holes she only waited a moment before putting in the check raise to 800,000.

Late position called and the 8♠ rolled off on the turn. Holes took a second before announcing all in and putting out a stack of chips.

The player in late position folded quickly and holes windmilled over the 5♣2♦ for just bottom pair and no redraw. The aggression paid off and Holes dragged the pot.
