Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

With about 200,000 already in the pot and the flop reading 3♦6♥7♣, Jacob Baumgartner was faced with a bet of 75,000 from his opponent. Baumgartner raised enough to put her all-in, who had roughly 200,000 behind, and she made the call.

Opponent: A♣K♠ All in
Jacob Baumgartner: 10♥10♦

The turn 7x and river Xx sent the pot Baumgartner's way.

The next hand, it folded around to the player on the button who raised to 35,000, and Baumgartner defended in the big blind.

The flop came 10♦J♥5♠, and Baumgartner check-called a bet of 32,000. On the J♦ turn, Baumgartner check-raised to 240,000 over the button's bet of 65,000. The button folded, and Baumgartner scooped another one.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

When we arrived at the table there were around 200,000 chips in the middle on a board of A♦8♣Q♠3♥10♠. Kunal Patni had checked out of the big blind and his opponent in middle position bet 203,000, which was enough to put Patni all in. Patni went deep into the tank, thinking for over a minute, before eventually, he opted to call.

His opponent flipped over K♣9♣ for just king-high. Patni showed A♥6♥ for just a pair of aces to double up
