Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yingui Li limped in from the small blind and Shaun Deeb checked in the big blind. The flop fell 8♠2♠6♥ and Li continued with a bet of 300,000.

Deeb raised to 750,000, after which Li jammed all in for 3,250,000 chips. Deeb immediately called and the cards were tabled.

Yingui Li: 5♥4♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: 8♣2♦

Li was in rough shape with a double-gutshot straight draw against the two pair of Deeb, but the 7♦ turn saw him make his straight. The 3♣ river failed to bring Deeb a full house, and Li raked in the double-up to become second in the chip counts.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yingui Li	7,100,000 3,250,000	3,250,000

Shaun Deeb	7,000,000 4,050,000	4,050,000

Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised his small blind to 700,000 with A♠Q♥ before Noel Rodriguez defended K♦4♦ in the big blind.

The flop was dealt K♣10♠J♦, giving Deeb the stone-cold nuts. He continued for 525,000 chips and Rodriguez called with his top pair.

On the subsequent A♣ turn, Deeb bet 825,000. Rodriguez quickly mucked his hand as Deeb recuperated a bit from the previous hand.

Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Dean Lyall looked down at 8♠8♣ under the gun and raised to 400,000. David Stamm defended 9♠5♠ in the big blind and the two saw a flop of J♦K♥7♥ appear on the table.

Stamm checked to Lyall, who checked back. Another round of checks followed on the A♥ turn before the 4♠ river completed the board.

Stamm fired 250,000 chips in the middle with just nine-high, which was enough to let Lyall fold his pocket pair.
