Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Artem Metalidi raised 80,000 at the cutoff and received calls from a player on the button and WSOP bracelet winner Long Ma, who was in the small blind.

The player in the big blind folded and the dealer fanned 7♦10♠K♦ on the flop.

Ma checked and Metalidi bet 180,000, which drew calls from the button and Ma.

The dealer then placed 6♥ on the turn and Ma led out with 300,000. Metaldi moved all in for his remaining 1,820,000 to put himself at risk.

The button folded and Ma immediately called.

Artem Metalidi: A♥A♠ All in
Long Ma: 8♦6♦

Metalidi’s pocket aces were ahead, but he had a lot to dodge as Ma had multiple outs to a gutshot straight draw and a diamond flush draw.

The aces held after the 4♠ appeared on the river to give Metalidi a full double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Artem Metalidi	3,640,000 1,835,000	1,835,000
Long Ma	900,000 2,365,000	2,365,000

The flop came 4♦7♥3♥ and Vazquez was quick to check.

Parys took some time before he continued for 280,000.

Vazquez was hesitant, but eventually made the fold for Parys to take the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Oscar Alache opened to 80,000 from under the gun, then Matthew Closs to his left three-bet to 200,000. Jean Lhuillier on the button went into the tank, and eventually shoved for 980,000. Alache folded, but Closs made the call.

Jean Lhuillier: K♣K♥ All in
Matthew Closs: Q♠Q♥

The dealer fanned a board of 9♣6♦J♦7♥6♠ and secured a big double up for Lhuillier.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Juto Misaka, in middle position and Adam Rothschild, in the big blind.

With about 200,000 in the pot and the board reading 5♥Q♥10♥, Rothschild check-raised all-in over Misaka's continuation-bet of 100,000. Misaka, who had 345,000 behind, made the call putting himself at risk.

Juto Misaka: K♠K♦ All in
Adam Rothschild: K♥9♦

Misaka needed to fade a jack or a heart to stay alive, and he did exactly that when the turn and river came the 9♣ and 5♠, respectively.

Juto Misaka	1,090,000 755,000	755,000
Adam Rothschild	675,000 230,000	230,000
