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

On a flop reading, K♥9♥9♦, Sergio Martinez bet the last of his chips and was called by the commanding stack of Ricardo Arredondo.

Sergio Martinez: K♣9♣Q♦7♠
Ricardo Arredondo: A♥10♠6♥7♣

Martinez flopped a full house and didn't have to sweat Arredondo's flush draw. The turn and river were of no consequence, awarding Martinez a crucial double.

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

Action folded to Rodrigo Semeghini in the small blind who raised to 48,000. Daniel Negreanu called from the big blind to see the flop come Q♥K♠6♥.

Semeghini continued with a bet of 75,000. Negreanu looked at his opponent before grabbing three 25,000 and tossing in the call to bring the 8♥ out on the turn.

Semeghini led with a bet again, this time for 140,000 and again, Negreanu thought briefly before he tossed in the call to see the 5♣ fall on the river.

Semeghini didn't waste much time in announcing all in for roughly 360,000.

Negreanu didn't immediately release his hand, instead going into a short tank and talking out what he believed Semeghini had to Semeghini himself who tried to remained stoic.

Eventually, Negreanu arrived at the belief that Semeghini had the nut flush "for reason that I won't share" before he slid his cards into the muck while saying, "Nice bluff".

Semeghini's emptying the chamber on three straight post-flop streets paid off as he collected the pot and chipped up nicely.

Daniel Negreanu	1,265,000 448,000	448,000

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roman Rogovskyi open the action by raising to 70,000, Sergio Martinez in late position, and Satar Al-Sadoun called in the small blind. Rogovskyi had just lost a big pot to Al-Sadoun the last hand before break, when he folded the river and was left short.

The flop rolled the 9♣3♣8♣, Al-Sadoun checked and Rogovskyi went all in for his remaining 35,000. Both his opponents called.

The turn was the 7♠ and both live players checked, revealing the 2♣ which both players also checked. Once the table was sheepish to show, Rogovskyi announce two pair. Martinez flashed a pair of kings but Rogovskyi's 3♥2♠Q♥2♠ proved to be the best hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Satar Al-Sadoun	2,200,000 50,000	50,000

Sergio Martinez	450,000 156,000	156,000
Roman Rogovskyi	320,000 35,000	35,000

Paul Spitzberg limped under the gun and was raised by Daniel Negreanu, to 80,000.

Spitzberg called and the flop fell 2♣J♦8♦. Both players checked.

On a K♣ turn, Negreanu bet 100,000 and Spitzberg called again.

The river was a 6♣ and here Negreanu checked. Spitzberg put out a stack of chips totaling around 80,000, which was enough to elicit a fold.

Player	Chips	Progress
Paul Spitzberg	1,800,000 195,000	195,000
Daniel Negreanu	975,000 295,000	295,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Qing Liang on the button who raised to 40,000 and got called by Andreas Zampas in the big blind leading to a K♣J♠K♠ flop.

Both players checked through to see the J♥ hit the turn and action checked through once more to see the K♦ fall on the river.

Zampas checked to Liang who counted out a bet of 65,000. Zampas entered what became about a 3 minute tank, seemingly working through if his hand was a candidate to bluff catch.

After counting out calling chips and checking his cards once more, he decided to toss his cards toward the muck and said, "Show the bluff".

Liang checked his card, pulled one out and tabled the 9♠ before dragging in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Qing Liang	420,000 79,000	79,000
Andreas Zampas	405,000 295,000	295,000

Manzano Gets Another Bounty

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A short-stacked Jon Stanfield went all in over the top of Alex Manzano's button raise and was called after a count was confirmed.

Jon Stanfield: A♦J♦6♠4♥
Alex Manzano: A♣K♠8♣7♥

Somewhat similar hands, it appeared something like a flip when the board spread 10♠6♦2♦. Stanfield caught a pair of sixes but the door was shut on him when the 9♣ turned, giving Manzano the nut straight, followed by a river that no longer mattered.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alex Manzano	1,300,000 340,000	340,000

Jon Stanfield	Busted
