Calum Grant

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Lander Lijo in the small blind and he made it 105,000. Brandon Wilson defended his big blind.

On the 9♣9♦6♠ flop, Wilson called for 75,000 before the 7♦ turn checked through to the 4♦ river.

Lijo sized up to 285,000 and Wilson quickly folded.

As that hand ended, a big pot was brewing between Andrew Lichtenberger and Santhosh Suvarna.

With around 380,000 in the middle on the K♣4♥K♥3♠ board. Lichtenberger checked from the big blind, prompting Suvarna to fire out 60,000. Lichtenberger jammed for 285,000 and was snap-called.

Andrew Lichtenberger: K♦9♦ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: 3♦3♣

Lichtenberger flopped trips but Suvarna turned a full house to have the best hand.

The 4♠ came in on the river, double pairing the board to give "Chewy" a better full house for the double up.

Lander Lijo opened under the gun to 60,000. Martin Stausholm called him on the button before Taylor von Kriegenbergh squeezed to 250,000 out of the small blind. Lijo made the call, but Stausholm folded.

Kriegenbergh continued with a bet of 100,000 on the A♠A♥3♦ flop. Lijo made the call.

The 9♦ turn saw both players check and the 5♥ to come on the river. Kriegenbergh put out a bet of 150,000 which Lijo called. Kriegenbergh turned over A♣5♦ for a rivered boat to win the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Michael Rocco and Andrew Lichtenberger were in a heads-up pot with the board reading Q♦3♥J♣2♠A♥.

With around 400,000 in the middle, Rocco put out a stack of 1,000,000 to put Lichtenberger all in for less. Lichtenberger used a time chip and called.

Rocco showed 5♥4♦ for a rivered Wheel, which crushed the K♦3♦ of Lichtenberger as "LuckyChewy" hit the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Vlastimil Pustina moved all in for 190,000 from the button. It folded to Chongxian Yang who sheepishly put the chips in to call.

Vlastimil Pustina: A♠5♥ All in
Chongxian Yang: 7♣3♦

The table chuckled at the hole cards of Yang, as the 4♣4♦K♣ flop was dealt. The turn was the Q♣ but the river 3♠ improved Yang to a pair to send Pustina to the rail.

From under the gun, Martin Stausholm opened to 80,000. In the next position, Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet to 300,000. It folded back to Stausholm who four-bet all in for 1,900,000. Von Kriegenbergh snap-called.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh: K♠K♣

Suvarna Three-Outs Jager

Connor Richards

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna open-jammed a stack of around 400,000 on the button and Paul Jager re-shoved in the small blind to bring a reluctant fold from Michael Rocco in the big blind.

Santhosh Suvarna: A♥7♣ All in
Paul Jager: A♦J♣

Rocco quickly got up from his seat after seeing his opponent's hands and later told them he folded ace-queen. The flop of 4♦K♠9♥ and K♦ turn didn't change anything, but the 7♥ river gave Suvarna his three-outer to stay alive.

"Unlucky, you should have tripled!" Shawn Daniels commented.

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Jager jammed for 250,000 from under the gun and folded out the rest of the table.

The following hand, Shawn Daniels opened to 100,000 from the button and called when Jager pushed in his stack from the big blind.

Paul Jager: K♦10♦ All in
Shawn Daniels: K♥7♣

The J♠5♠6♦ flop and Q♠ turn kept Jager ahead, but like in his hand against Santhosh Suvarna, the 7♥ came in on the river.

The table offered their condolences to Jager, who's 19th place exit set up the three table redraw.
