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

Action folded around to John Riordan in the small blind, who raised to 55,000. Guofeng Wang defended in the big blind and the duo saw a flop of J♣4♥3♦.

Riordan continued with a bet of 55,000 and Wang called.

The turn brought the 8♥, and Riordan put out a bet of 200,000, enough to put Wang all-in, who had about 175,000 behind.

After some thought, Wang eventually tossed his cards into the muck.

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

James Dempsey shoved for a little under 300,000 from middle position and David Jackson reshove for over 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Mukul Pahuja snap-called from the big blind and covered both opponents.

James Dempsey: J♥10♥ All in
David Jackson: 8♠8♣ All in
Mukul Pahuja: Q♥Q♦

A dream spot for Pahuja who was on the brink of a 3,000,000-chip stack if his hand could hold up.

The runout of K♠4♣9♠A♣J♣ did keep the pocket queens of Pahuja in the lead and he eliminated both Dempsey & Jackson in the same hand.

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A board of 6♦4♠Q♠5♥2♠ was on the table and with a pile of chips in the pot, Christopher Collier had bet 250,000 on the river. Ebony Kenney was the player with the decision and she thought it about it for a long time before she eventually made the call.

Collier tabled 9♥9♣ but Kenney had the winner after she flipped over J♣J♦.

"I almost made you fold," remarked Collier.

"Almost, but don't put me through that again," joked Kenney in her response.
