Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Under the gun raised preflop to 100,000 and Michael Hancock jammed for 550,000 from the small blind and got a call.

Michael Hancock: 22All in
Under the Gun: 64

The 8K7 flop was dealt, giving under the gun a gutshot straight draw. The Q and J were the last two cards to complete the board and Hancock's deuces held, giving him the double up.

Xie Triples up with Jacks

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Middle position jammed all in and covered the stacks of both Lisa Xie in the hijack, who called the jam with 500,000, and the all in from Guilherme Desouzapessoa in the big blind.

Guilherme Desouzapessoa: 68All in
Lisa Xie: JJAll in
Middle position: KxKx

When the hands were flipped, a player at the table commented, "this is the craziest table I've played, and I have been playing poker for 25 years."

Preflop, middle position was ahead with kings and nothing changed on the 10610 flop, despite Desouzapessoa hitting a six.

Xie soared into the lead on the J turn, and the 5 river changed nothing.

Xie got a triple up and knocked out Desouzapessoa.
