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

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Claudio Lorenzi was at risk for roughly 700,000 against Byung Na.

Claudio Lorenzi: Q♣Q♠ All in
Byung Na: J♥10♣

The K♦Q♥9♣ flop smashed both players, giving Lorenzi a set of queens while Na flopped a straight. Lorenzi couldn't pair the board as the dealer ran out the J♠ turn and the 4♣ river, sending him to the payout desk.

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

Matej Gorba went all in off his short stack and was called by the small blind. Craig Teti went all in from the big blind. The small blind called the rejam as well.

Matej Gorba: 8♠7♦ All in
Craig Teti: A♦K♣ All in
Small Blind: A♠J♥

Gorba was happy to see the 5♥7♣6♠ fan out and was further thrilled to see the 4♣ lock him up the main pot as the A♣ rolled off to keep Teti alive for a rather healthy side pot worth just under a million in chips.

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

Santiago Martinez: A♠K♣ All in
Early Position Player: K♦K♠

The 10♦Q♦5♥8♣ runout had Martinez with one foot out the door as he was seen standing up and starting to walk away from the table. The miracle J♥ river card gave Martinez a straight and kept his bracelet hopes alive in event #67.

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

Keshu Peng opened 80,000 in middle position before Michael Leanos jammed his last 450,000 across the line from the button. The blinds quickly folded and Peng made the call.

Michael Leanos: K♥K♣ All in
Keshu Peng: A♥A♠

Leanos tried to remain optimistic as he muttered something about maybe hitting a king but the A♣7♠5♠ flop all but sealed his fate. The 7♥ turn left him drawing dead as the J♠ completed the board on the river.
