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

Action was joined on the river, the board read A♣J♥4♣2♥8♥. From the big blind, Krasimir Yankov bet 110,000. Nenad Dukic raised from the small blind to 425,000.

Yankov thought for about a minute before he called.

"I let you win another one" said Dukic as he tabled the 10♥6♦ for nothing. Yankov had the J♣9♠ and gathered the pot.

"I'm not letting you win another one" continued Dukic to which Yankov just said "Let's see bro."

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

Krasimir Yankov was all in prelfop against Xuming Qi as the board was being dealt.

Krasimir Yankov: K♠K♥ All in
Xuming Qi: QxJx

The flop came 10♣9♦4♣. The turn was the K♦ to give Qi the straight and put Yankov on the verge of being sent away but the river was the 4♥ to fill Yankov up as he gave a slight reaction, which is a rare sight for the normally icy stoic player.

"Show some emotion Kras!" said Jake Schwartz in jest as Yankov gave a slight smile which didn't last long as his face went back business very quickly.

Krasimir Yankov	1,320,000 380,000	380,000
Xuming Qi	630,000 1,340,000	1,340,000

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

Yang Zhang opened to 85,000 from the hijack, and when it folded to the big blind Kharlin Sued, he three-bet all in. Zhang snap-called, putting Sued at risk.

Kharlin Sued: 5♠5♦ All in
Yang Zhang: A♥A♦

Sued ran into the aces of Zhang and would need help to stay alive. The flop came 7♥3♥6♥ giving Sued three extra outs with a non-heart four. But when the board ran out Q♦ on the turn, and 3♣ on the river, Sued was eliminated as Zhang's aces were still best.

Yang Zhang	3,560,000 1,110,000	1,110,000

Kharlin Sued	Busted
