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

Steffen Grove went all in on a board reading 8♦4♠3♣ and Federico Roberto thoughtfully considered before pushing a call forward and putting Grove at risk... in theory.

Steffen Grove: 9♦9♣ All in
Federico Roberto: 9♥9♠

Both players were quick to pull their chips back, as their were no chances at a flush. The turn and river were inconsequential and the table had a laugh as the tension of a big bet and a call immediately dissipated.

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

Two players build a pot of about 160,000 and Paul Serrate checked-dark before the dealer fanned the 10♦9♣3♣ flop. Jon Lehmberg bet 115,000 and Serrate jammed all-in. Lehmberg had about 650,000 and quickly made the call.

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.

Benjamin Hu	1,475,000 617,000	617,000

Doodson is Still Dapper

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Dylan Doodson was all in preflop and was called by his opponent in the blind.

Dylan Doodson: 6♦6♥ All in
Big Blind: J♣9♣

The flop favored Doodson when it rolled 8♣10♥6♣ but he wasn't out of the woods, as his opponent had a straight draw. The turned J♥ didn't change much and the rivered 3♠ was inconsequential. Doodson more than doubled with his set of sixes.
