Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Tracy Nguyen raised under the gun to 60,000, Barak Wisbrod in the hijack called as did the player on the button.

The flop came 6♠7♣3♦ and Nguyen continued for 60,000. Only Wisbrod called.

The turn came the J♦ and Nguyen didn't slow down as she bet 85,000. Again, Wisbrod didn't go anywhere.

The river fell the 5♣ and Nguyen checked the action to Wisbrod. After some time, Wisbrod, the covering stack, shoved all in putting Nguyen to the test for her last 910,000. Nguyen thought for a considerable amount of time before finally flicking in the call.

Tracy Nguyen: 10♣10♥
Barak Wisbrod: A♦7♦

With Wisbrod turning his second pair into a bluff on the river, Nguen's hero call sends her well over the 2,000,000 mark.

Tracy Nguyen	2,340,000 2,175,000	2,175,000

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/15,000, 30,000 ante

Kane Kalas raised from the small blind to 110,000, finding Tetsuma Ishizu in the big blind who defended.

On a flop of 10♦7♠2♠, Kalas continued for 55,000. In response, Ishizu raised the bet to 130,000 and Kalas called.

Kalas played in flow on the 6♥ turn. Ishizu continued his aggression sliding in enough lavender chips to put Kalas all-in. Kalas folded allowing Ishizu to stack the chips.

The 10♣ hit the turn and Ausmus checked again. Pannucci went into the tank for a moment before putting out a bet of 130,000. Ausmus called again.

The K♦ hit the river and action checked through quickly.

"Four," Ausmus said as he rolled over 6♣4♣ for bottom pair. Pannucci sent his cards to the muck and Ausmus dragged the pot.
