Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The following hand was relayed to PokerNews by the players at the table.

Maxwell Schrack and Jose Cedeno were all in preflop for an over 4,000,000 chip pot.

Jose Cedeno: QxQx
Maxwell Schrack: JxJx

The flop gave Cedeno a set when it came QxKxXx but the 9x on the turn and the 10x on the river gave Schrack a straight to scoop a massive pot while Cedeno was left to wonder what could have been on his pay to the payout line.

Jon Lehmberg: Q♥10♠ All in
Paul Serrate: A♣5♣

Lehmberg flopped top pair and the 4♦ turn was safe for him but the Q♣ river improved Serrate to a flush as Lehmberg headed to the payout desk.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Benjamin Hu opened 55,000 in early position and Steven Kelly called next to act before Thomas Carman put in a raise to 210,000 from the small blind. Hu called and Kelly jammed for 320,000. Carman asked if the door was open, but the dealer confirmed it was not as he made the call. Hu called as well.

The K♠9♥2♦ flop hit the felt, and Kelly checked to Hu who fired 150,000 into the middle. Kelly tanked for about 30 seconds before mucking his hand. Hu started clapping as he tabled his hand.

Steven Kelly: A♣A♦ All in
Benjamin Hu: 9♣9♠

Hu flopped a set of nines to crack the aces of Kelly and the 4♥ turn and Q♣ river changed nothing.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Hu	1,475,000 617,000	617,000
Thomas Carman	535,000 133,000	133,000

Claudio Elizalde

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Mark Allen was pipped badly when he ran his pocket nines headlong into the pocket tens of Patrick Rice and wasn't able to improve. Rice had him barely covered and Allen was left with only two big blinds after the confrontation.

The Very Next Hand

Mark Allen was all in, in the big blind, when a raise from Stephen Peppin isolated him and Allen joked, "I don't believe you, I call," before turning his hand over.

Mark Allen: J♣9♥ All in
Stephen Peppin: K♦Q♦

The board ran out 2♠K♣5♦J♠K♥, awarding the pot to Peppin with his three kings and sending a gracious Allen to the payouts desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Stephen Peppin	365,000 181,000	181,000
Patrick Rice	325,000 122,000	122,000
