Joshua Ladines had raised from middle position before Sean Winter three-bet to 435,000 in the small blind. Ladines called to see the J♦4♠Q♣ flop.

Winter then jammed all in for 210,000 chips and was called by Ladines, leading to a showdown.

Sean Winter: A♥K♦6♥6♦ All in
Joshua Ladines: K♠10♦9♦2♠

Ladines had flopped a wrap and turned a flush draw with the 3♠. However, Winter's pair of sixes neatly held on the 2♣ river to secure his double-up.

Isaac Kempton raised to 125,000 in the hijack and Petko Tsakov three-bet to 450,000 on the button with around 175,000 behind.

"Good luck, Sir. I am thinking about a flop," Kempton said.

Tsakov grinned back a, "thank you."

The flop brought 10♣5♣5♠ and Kempton moved forward a stack of T-25,000 chips, Tsakov called all in.

Petko Tsakov: A♠K♦K♥9♠ All in
Isaac Kempton: K♠Q♠J♣9♣

The 6♣ turn instantly improved Kempton to a flush and Tsakov failed to catch a miracle on the 6♠ river.

"It's that easy?" Scott Seiver asked Kempton after he had watched the final outcome from up close.

Level 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a hand that lasted well into the break, even seeing the break extended by a couple of minutes, Santhosh Suvarna had defended his big blind against Ike Haxton's raise.

Suvarna then check-called Haxton's bet on Q♦9♦10♠ flop before leading out for 345,000 on the 10♦ turn. Haxton called and the 3♣ river completed the board.

Suvarna slowed down and checked, after which Haxton put him all in for his final 450,000 chips. Suvarna tanked for some time before eventually letting his hand go and taking the couple of minutes that were left on his break.
