Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Both Chino Rheem and Daniel Zack had put in 240,000 on the turn with the board reading 3♣8♣Q♥4♥.

The river brought a 6♥ and Zack grabbed a handful of chips and bet 450,000 of them.

"This is not a slowroll, I just don't think I'm good," said Rheem before he eventually called.

"You're good," replied Zack.

Rheem flipped over K♥8♥8♦7♠ for a rivered flush and took the pot.

Tony Hoang opened 100,000 on the button, and Joseph Shammas defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♣6♣4♣, and Shammas check-raised the bet of 100,000 from Hoang to 560,000. Hoang quickly mucked.

Shammas rolled over three of his cards, tabling 8♥6♦4♠.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After a hefty round of betting on the flop A♠K♣A♦, Steve Zolotow led for 850,000 on the turn 8♣ and Andreas Zampas responded by moving all in for 1,340,000 total. Zolotow paused only for a second before he made the call, putting Zampas at risk.

Andreas Zampas: A♣J♣J♠8♦
Steve Zolotow: K♥K♠XxXx

Zolotow had been in the lead on the flop with his kings full of aces, but the turn gave Zampas the upper hand with aces full of eights, which left Zolotow drawing only to quads. The river was the 6♠ and the big pot was pushed over Zampas for the double.

"Easy come, easy go," Zolotow simply said as a chunk of his stack was now in front of Zampas.

Andreas Zampas	3,500,000 1,625,000	1,625,000

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Matthew Parry limped the cutoff and Jhojan Rivera raised 160,000 in the small blind. Both Daniel Swartz in the big blind, and Parry called.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♣8♣2♠, and Rivera pushed the rest of his chips across the line. Parry gave it some thought as he asked for a count. The dealer let him know it was 450,000 and he made the call.

Jhojan Rivera: K♠J♦10♠8♦ All in
Matthew Parry: Q♥9♠7♦7♥

The J♠ turn and the J♣ river gave Rivera a full house as he jumped out of his seat with excitement.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nir Cohen raised to 140,000 from under the gun and Chino Rheem called. Leslie Roussell then shoved all in for 385,000, and Cohen reshoved for around 900,000. Rheem debated calling but eventually let his hand go.

Leslie Roussell: 6♦5♥4♣3♠ All in
Nir Cohen: A♣A♠5♠3♥

Cohen was in a great spot holding some of his opponent's outs but the 7♣3♣5♣ flop changed that as Roussell flopped a straight to take the lead.

An A♦ on the turn did give Cohen some outs but the 10♥ river didn't pair the board which meant Roussell doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Leslie Roussell	1,000,000 515,000	515,000
Nir Cohen	400,000 950,000	950,000

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Vladislav Klepikov raised preflop and was called by Jhojan Rivera on the button before Dylan Weisman made it 520,000. Only Klepikov called.

The flop fell A♦7♠10♦ and both players committed all of their chips to the pot which put Weisman at risk.

Dylan Weisman: A♠Q♠J♥4♥ All in
Vladislav Klepikov: A♣9♥8♣7♣

Klepikov had flopped two pair and a straight draw with Weisman in need of some help from the dealer.

The J♠ turn improved Klepikov to a straight but the K♣ river gave Weisman a bigger straight to snatch the pot away at the last possible moment.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dylan Weisman	4,200,000 2,335,000	2,335,000

Jhojan Rivera	1,300,000 120,000	120,000

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

On a flop of J♣7♣A♥, all of the chips between Daniel Zack and Nir Cohen found its way into the middle, with Zack covering.

Nir Cohen: A♠10♠7♦6♦
Daniel Zack: A♣9♣9♦7♥

Cohen was in the lead with his top and bottom pair, but the turn 6♣ gave Zack the nut flush and the Q♣ failed to pair the board, sending him to the rail in 19th place.

Joseph Shammas was getting short and committed all of his chips in a pot against Richard Ashby.

Joseph Shammas: Q♥Q♦8♦3♣ All in
Richard Ashby: A♠K♣10♣8♣

Ashby's flopped pair of aces was enough to win the pot and eliminate Shammas on the board of A♥7♥3♦9♦4♣.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Vladislav Klepikov opened 150,000 on the button and both Jhojan Rivera and Daniel Swartz called in the blinds.

When the J♦8♥2♥ flop hit the felt Rivera led for 350,000. Swartz quickly folded, but Klepikov stuck around with a call.

The 5♦ hit the turn, and Rivera piled his stack of 700,000 across the line. Klepikov snap-called for his remaining stack of about 600,000 and both hands were tossed on their backs.

Vladislav Klepikov: K♣K♥Q♦3♥ All in
Jhojan Rivera: J♣J♠9♦8♣
