Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Joshua Ladines opened the action with a raise to 110,000 in the hijack and Eelis Pärssinen bet the pot on the button for 390,000, which Ladines called.

The flop came 8♣7♣4♠ and Ladines bet the pot, Pärssinen instantly called all-in for around 700,000.

Eelis Pärssinen: A♣9♣8♠7♠ All in
Joshua Ladines: A♠Q♣6♠4♣

Ladies had inferior clubs but superior spades and a gutshot, the latter of which got there with the 5♦ turn. Suddenly, Pärssinen was trailing and could not catch up anymore on the J♦ river.

Mercier Gets Some Chips Back

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gabriel Andrade raised to 100,000 and was called by Jason Mercier on the button and Tim Van Loo in the big blind.

While the hand was played out, there was a massive commotion on table 135 as Maxi Lehmanski and Martin Kabrhel played out an ordinary pot in which the bet sizing required a ruling by the floor. That turned out to take several minutes, which several other players including this one complained about with Brian Rast and Shaun Deeb being the most vocal about it.

Back to the poker action, the three-way flop of A♣8♥4♦ flop and 6♣ turn were checked. It checked to Mercier on the 5♣ river and his bet of 125,000 took down the pot uncontested.
