Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 16,000 in middle position and Ihar Soika three-bet shoved from the small blind for 46,000, putting himself at risk. Rob Hollink called from the big blind and Haxton called as well.

The flop came 3♠3♣7♣ and both Hollink and Haxton checked for the side pot.

The turn landed the 6♣ and Hollink led out for 90,000. Haxton thought for a moment and called.

The 2♥ river went check-check. Soika turned over Q♣J♦, Hollink showed A♠10♠, and Haxton tabled K♥6♠ for the winner with two pair, sixes and threes.

Haxton collected the bounty and Soika was sent to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Aditya Systla shoved from the hijack for his short stack of 43,000 and Adrian Mateos shoved on the button for 338,000. The blinds got out of the way which left Systla at risk.

Aditya Systla: A♣4♣ All in
Adrian Mateos: 4♠4♥

Mateos was in the driving seat to pick up an early bounty but a flop of 6♥6♣Q♣ gave Systla a plethora of outs to survive. One of those outs landed on the A♦ turn as Systla paired his ace, which left Mateos with one out. The last four in the deck didn't reveal itself as the 8♦ river kept Systla's tournament life alive.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adrian Mateos	295,000 43,000	43,000

Aditya Systla	100,000 57,000	57,000
