Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the flop showing 2♣6♥J♣, there was a bet of 6,000 from the hijack and a call from the player seated in the cutoff. Then, Napat Chokejindachai moved all in from the big blind for 28,500. The hijack moved all in himself with the covering stack, and the cutoff swiftly folded.

Napat Chokejindachai: 6♣4♣ All in
Hijack: J♥10♣

Chokejindachai had a lot of outs to double up. However, the K♥ turn and Q♥ river didn't improve his hand, and the hijack player took down the pot with a pair of jacks.

A player seated in early position moved all in for 3,000. Shimizu Nozomu raised to 8,500 out of the cutoff and the big blind made the call.

The turn came the Q♣ and this time the big blind check-folded to a bet of 8,000. Nozomu pulled in the side pot and the cards were revealed.

Early position: A♣K♣ All in
Shimizu Nozomu: Q♠3♦

The 8♣ on the river meant Nozomu's pair of queens would be enough to eliminate his opponent.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

According to the table, action started with a raise from Sanjay Mayekar from middle position and Xinliang Xu defended the big blind.

The flop came J♦4♠7♦ and Xu check-called Mayekar’s continuation bet.

The turn was the Ax. Xu checked, Mayekar bet 12,000, and Xu raised to 32,000. Mayekar then went all in for around 110,000.

Xu had a difficult decision and thought for a while before open-folding A♣4♠ for two pair, commenting he thinks he can’t beat anything. After some table chatter, Mayekar said he had the ace with a flush draw, but added that that may or may not be true.
