Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 8♠3♠J♠, Cuba Levenberry potted it into chip leader Daniel Swartz who responded by moving all in, which Levenberry quickly called to put himself at risk.

Cuba Levenberry: A♠Q♠8♦5♦
Daniel Swartz: Q♦7♥3♦3♥

Levenberry was very much in the lead with his flopped nut flush, but still had to dodge a board pairing as Swartz held bottom set of threes. Fortunately for him, the runout came 10♠7♣ to win the pot for the double.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of A♦3♠Q♥J♣, there was around 320,000 in the middle when Caleb King checked to Nir Cohen, who bet 205,000.

After some thought, King made the call and the two continued to the river 2♦. King checked once more to Nohen who then moved all in for 670,000, which sent King into the tank.

After close to a minute of rechecking his cards and eyeballing Cohen, King decided to lay it down and the pot was pushed to Cohen.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Matthew Parry raised from the cutoff to 65,000 and Chino Rheem called from the big blind.

The action was checked all the way to the river on the 3♠4♦5♠Q♣Q♥ board and Parry fired a bet of 105,000.

"I'm trying to think what you bet with that I can beat," remarked Rheem.

Eventually, Rheem did toss in a call but was shown some bad news as Parry tabled Q♦10♦8♠4♥ for a full house and he took the pot.
