Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jack Strange had a big stack just a half an hour ago, but lost three big hands in a short amount of time.
Hand #1:
He first doubled up Emilien Pitavy in a pot worth around 220,000 chips. Pitavy made two pair with K♠6♣ on the board 7♠K♣6♦A♣3♣, while Strange held the A♠8♥.
Hand #2:
By far the biggest pot happened against Marko Grujic. According to the players, action started with an open from the player in the hijack, which Strange called on the cutoff. Grujic also called from the small blind, as did the player in the big blind.
Four players saw the J♦7♣4♥ flop. Both blinds checked, while hijack, the preflop raisor, bet 40,000. Strange called and Grujic called, the big blind folded.
The turn was the 6♦. Grujic checked, as did the hijack. Strange now bet 85,000 and Grujic raised to 240,000. Hijack folded and Strange called.
The river was the K♦, bringing in the backdoor flush draw. The pot had ballooned to well over 500,000 at this point. Grujic went all in for 350,000. Strange thought for a while and then let go of his hand.
Hand #3:
Soon after this, Jesse Solano open shoved from middle position for around 200,000 chips. Strange put in the call and other players folded.
Jesse Solano: A♣8♣
Jack Strange: A♦10♦
Strange was ahead and it still looked good for him on the K♣6♥3♦ flop. The turn, however, was the 8♥, giving Solano the pair and a near-guaranteed double-up. Strange didn’t hit a ten on the river, it was the K♥. Solano doubled up, while Strange ended with a short stack of around eight big blinds.

Alan Hamza opened from early position to 40,000, and when it folded to the small blind Carl Shaw, he three-bet all in for 530,000. The big blind folded, and Hamza made the call for a total of 262,000.
Alan Hamza: A♠Q♦
Carl Shaw: 8♠8♦
It was a flip for Hamza's tournament life, and the 4♦J♦10♦ flop gave Hamza extra outs in the form of a flush draw to go with his two over cards. The 4♥ on was no help, but the Q♠ on the river gave Hamza the check mark, and the double up.

Blas Torres: A♦K♠
David Stamm: A♣Q♣
Stamm's top two pair had the best of it as gathered in the massive pot whole Torres was sent away.

Acton was picked up when Ivan Uzunov from the cutoff, called the all-in bet from Stanislav Barshak for 218,000 from the big blind.
Stanislav Barshak: 5♥5♣
Ivan Uzunov: A♣10♥
It was a flip for Barshak's tournament life, but when the flop came 8♣5♦9♠ it left Uzunov needing running straight cards to beat the set of fives from Barshak. But the 3♠ on the turn left Uzunov drawing dead when the 7♠ hit the river, to give Barshak the double up.

Loni Hui: A♦Q♥
Han Ming Feng: A♥9♦
Hui was already well ahead, but the flop A♠A♣Q♣ already all but sealed the double up. The turn was the 3♥ and the river the 5♣.
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The board read 8♠8♥A♦7♦5♦ on the river, From the button, Andrei Stoenescu bet 110,000 into a pot of about 150,000. Daichi Sawayanagi was in middle position and thought about it for a while.
Eventually he made the call. Stoenescu tabled the 4♠4♦ for just a pair of fours but that turned out to be the winner as Sawayanagi instantly mucked.
A few players at the table raised their eyebrows and made a comment or two as Stoenescu gathered in the pot.
