Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Niklas Astedt in middle position opened to 240,000 with A♣J♠. Kristen Foxen with K♥K♦ on the button just called, and so did Tyler Montoya in the big blind with A♠J♥.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♥7♣6♥ and Astedt continued for 200,000. Foxen called, as well as Montoya to find the 5♥ turn.

All three players checked this card, but on the 6♦ river, after Montoya checked, Astedt bet 200,000.

Foxen raised to 1,300,000, so Montoya went deep into the tank. He eventually folded his two pair. Same problem for Astedt, who folded the best hand as well.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of K♥8♦9♥10♣, Giovanni Zanette bet 750,000 from the hijack and Marc Wolpert came back with a raise to 2,000,000 in the big blind.

Zanette called to the 6♠ river, where Wolpert bet another 2,000,000. Zanette spent several minutes in the tank before he called.

Wolpert showed A♦10♦ for a pair of tens, but Zanette had A♠K♣ for kings to win the pot. "Nice hand, good call," Wolpert said as he handed over the big pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Charles Russell raised from middle position to 240,000 and Brian Kim called from the cutoff. Guillermo Sanchez Otero also called from the big blind.

All three players checked to the river on the 7♦7♣2♠6♣Q♠ board where Russell bet 400,000. Kim made the call, and Otero folded.

Russell tabled Q♦J♠ for a rivered pair of queens, but Kim had A♦Q♥ for a pair of queens with an ace-kicker, which earned him the pot.

Connor Richards

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Sean Marshall open-jammed a stack of just 200,000 as the first player to act and Robert Geith called in the small blind.

Sean Marshall: A♦6♦ All in
Robert Geith: A♣Q♥

Marshall was calling for a six and diamonds and got his latter wish as the flop landed 2♦3♦10♣ to give him a flush draw. The 6♥ turn then improved him to a pair of sixes before the 2♣ bricked off on the river to earn him a small double before being forced to pay the big blind.

Maxime Taldir

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Kristen Foxen in early position raised to 240,000 with A♣K♠, and she was called by Charles Alex-Barton who defended from the big blind with K♦Q♠.

She continued with a bet of 330,000 on the 10♣K♣4♦ flop, but Alex-Barton didn't back down and check-called.

The A♠ turn came, and Foxen fired a second barrel of 700,000. Alex-Barton check-called once again.

On the Q♥ river, both players checked and Foxen scooped the pot with a better two pair.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Gabriel Moura defended the big blind against a raise to 250,000 by Alexandru Brumaru. They headed to the J♦10♠9♠ flop on which Moura check-raised from 250,000 to 900,000. Brumaru clicked it back to 2,900,000 and then got it in when Moura shoved.

Alexandru Brumaru: J♠J♣ All in
Gabriel Moura: K♣Q♣

The flopped nut straight needed to avoid the board to pair and the 7♣ turn as well as 4♣ river did just that. Both stacks were counted and Moura covered to send Brumaru to the payout desk.

On the K♥ river, she checked once more with A♥J♠ for trips and won the pot as Alex-Barton decided to check-back with 3♥3♣.
