Players saw a K♦5♥4♥ flop and both players checked to the 10♣ turn.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player opened to 40,000 preflop and action folded to the small blind who called, but then Dan Stavila three-bet to 140,000.

The original raiser slid his cards to the dealer but the small blind responded by moving all in for around 350,000.

Stavila checked his cards once more and promptly made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Small Blind: K♦9♦ All in
Dan Stavila: A♦K♥

Stavila was in a great spot with his dominating hand, and the flop of K♠6♦5♥ gave both players a king, but the turn 4♦ gave his opponent a diamond draw.

"It's always a sweat," Stabvila said, but the river was the A♠ to improve him to top two and he scooped the pot while the opposing player found the exit.

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

Adam Vargas opened to 50,000 preflop and action folded around to the small blind who moved all in for 160,000.

The big blind thought about it for a good while but eventually decided to let it go and Vargas quickly made the call.

Small Blind: 7♥7♦ All in
Adam Vargas: A♦K♣

Vargas would need to improve in this flip to win the hand, and the at-risk player rolled his eyes when the ace peeled off on the turn 5♥J♣4♠A♠ to put him in second. the river was the Q♥ and the pot was shipped over to Vargas while his opponent headed to the payout desk.

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

Jean Osta moved all in and got a single call from the small blind, who she covered.

Small Blind: K♣Q♣ All in
Jean Osta: 4♠4♦

Osta was looking to hold with pocket fours and the 9♦7♣3♦ flop didn't ruin her chances.

The A♦ river was also good for Osta, and the J♣ river sealed her the near double.

The small blind bust out of the tournament with around 550 players left.

Wong-Fung is The Man

Kirk Brown

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

PokerNews missed the hand, but was told after the fact by the proud winner:

Daniel Wong-Fung got it all in preflop against two other players, with him being the shortest stack.

Daniel Wong-Fung: 10x10x All in
Player 2: AxKx
Player 3: JxJx

The flop came out AxKx5x and Player 2 was shouting "I'm the man!" I'm the man!" as he took a big lead with two pair, but the turn fell a 10x to give Wong-Fung the superior hand, who then replied with his own "I'm the man!"

The river evidently changed nothing and Wong-Fung was pushed the pot for the triple up.
