Level 6
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 325,000 from late position, after being checked to by Kristen Foxen from the small blind on a board reading A♣8♣2♠J♠, with Foxen making the call.
Foxen would check to Ponakovs again on the J♥ river and this time Ponakovs chose a larger bet size in the form of 525,000, putting the pressure on Foxen.
After using up two of her time bank chips, Foxen found the call and would be rewarded as she tabled A♠10♣ for two pair, aces and jacks, with Ponakovs turning over Q♠7♠ for a queen-high missed flush draw.

The board read 5♠Q♦A♥2♦3♥ in a hand between Jonathan Jaffe and Mikita Badziakouski, with Jaffe check-calling a roughly pot-sized river bet from Badziakouski for 270,000 and Jaffe making the quick call.
Badziakouski tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, top kicker and Jaffe mucked.
Over at another table, Phil Hellmuth was involved in a hand where he called an early position raise from David Peters for 27,000, which was also called by Nick Petrangelo in the big blind
Hellmuth bet 38,000 after Petrangelo and Peters both checked on the Broadway heavy flop of Q♦10♥A♦ and only Petrangelo made the call. The K♦ turn went check-check, as did the 2♥ river.
"Just an ace," announced Hellmuth, who would toss his hand in the muck after the Petrangelo tabled K♣Q♥ for the straight.

Espen Jorstad and Chance Kornuth were heads-up in a pot with around 500,000 in the middle. The board read 10♠8♥5♠2♥ and after Jorstad check-raised the flop, the 2022 WSOP Main Event Champion shoved all in for his last 400,000 on the turn. Kornuth snap-called and the cards were tabled.
Espen Jorstad: 5♥5♣
Chance Kornuth: 10♣10♦
Both players flopped a set but Jorstad was left drawing to just a single out. The river was the 3♣ and Jorstad was eliminated, sending his chips to Kornuth.

Adrian Mateos raised to 27,000 under the gun and Phil Hellmuth called from the small blind. Justin Bonomo reraised to 135,000 from the big blind which got Mateos to fold but Hellmuth snap-called.
The flop came 7♥6♣2♦ and Hellmuth checked to Bonomo who bet 75,000. Hellmuth instantly threw in a check-raised to 300,000 and Bonomo called. The turn was the 10♣ and Hellmuth splashed in a bet of 500,000.
"Do me a favor," Bonomo pleaded. "I know you're bluffing, just don't show me a bluff."
Hellmuth proceeded to table his 7♣7♦ for a set of sevens.
"At least you act faster than Christoph," Adrian Mateos piped in, referring to Christoph Vogelsang who previously occupied that seat.
On the next hand, Hellmuth made a three-bet on the button and then showed K♦6♦ as he collected the pot. "I came to f***ing play. If you're weak, I'm gonna raise you."

Stephen Chidwick raised to 30,000 from early position and was called by Chris Hunichen in middle position and Phil Ivey in late position.
The 10♠8♥K♦ flop would check through and Chidwick would once again check his option to Hunichen on the 10♥ turn. Hunichen then put out a bet for 80,000 getting both Chidwick and Ivey to fold.
