Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

As retold by the players; Thierry van den Berg raised from under the gun to 35,000 and Scot Faulkner made the call from the big blind. The flop came out as A♥2♥6x and van den Berg bet out 45,000 and Faulkner called.

The turn brought the 7x and van den Berg bet out 85,000 and Faulkner three-bet to 200,000 and van den Berg four-bet all in for 650,000. Faulkner admitted he did not realize that van den Berg had so many chips when he made the call but he is happy he did.

Due to the river 4♥ which completed his flush.

Thierry van den Berg: 7♠7♣ All in
Scot Faulkner: K♥10♥

Faulkner's flush on the river beat van den Berg's set of sevens.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

After he arrived at the table "with 28,000, three big blinds," 94-year old Sam Kobrinsky called from the hijack after a player opened from early position. The cutoff three-bet and made the initial raiser fold. But Kobrinsky decided to go all-in for 330,000. He was called by the cutoff.

Sam Kobrinsky: J♣10♣ All in
Cutoff: A♣K♣

Both players flopped a pair, but the cutoff remained in the lead on J♠4♥A♠. However Kobrinsky was lucky enough to hit two pair with the 10♦ turn to double up after the 2♠ river.
