Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Bart Crego moved all-in for approximately 2,400,000 from the button and he was called by John Duthie in the big blind.

Bart Crego: A♠Q♥ All in
John Duthie: A♦K♠

Despite having Martin Kabrhel on his side, who begged him to stay, Crego was on his way to leave the table after the dealer revealed a flop of J♠4♥4♦.

But the Q♦ turn saved Crego and he doubled up after the 8♣ river.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Kristen Foxen raised 320,000 from under the gun and action folded to Guangming Li on the button, where Li responded with a three-bet to 850,000.

Foxen called to bring the flop, which produced 2♣6♣A♥. Foxen checked, opening the door for Li to bet 800,000, which Foxen called.

The dealer then placed 6♥ on the turn, and Foxen checked. Li sized up his bet to 1,700,000, which Foxen briefly contemplated before making the call to bloat the pot.

The J♦ appeared on the river, resulting in Foxen checking a third time out of position. Li announced an all-in bet for his remaining stack, which Foxen covered.

Foxen deliberated the bet, while also appearing to study the board through her dark sunglasses. After a few moments elapsed, Foxen folded.

“Show the bluff,” Foxen said.

Li, though, just offered a smile as the dealer pushed the pot his way.

Guangming Li	12,300,000 4,000,000	4,000,000
Kristen Foxen	5,000,000 70,000	70,000

Joseph Alban raised to 250,000 in the hijack, Ryan Leng called on the button, and Robert Bickley defended in the big blind.

The flop came 3♦K♥5♣. Bickley checked, Alban bet 310,000, Leng folded, and Bickley called.

On the 2♦ turn, Alban moved all in for roughly 2,100,000. Bickley, who had about the same amount behind, tossed his cards into the muck.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Tjan Tepeh raised 255,000 in early position, and then Manuel Estol three-bet to 675,000.

The rest of the table folded, returning action to Tepeh, who moved most of his chips with the exception of a 5,000 chip in the middle. Estol, who had Tepeh covered, re-raised to put Tepeh all in, resulting in Tepeh tossing out his remaining chip.

Tjan Tepeh: J♥J♣ All in
Manuel Estol: K♦K♥

The dealer ran out 10♠Q♣9♠, giving Tepeh an open-ended straight draw, while keeping Estol’s kings in the lead.

The Q♠ appeared on the turn, and 7♥ on the river gave Estol the winning hand.
