Michael Acevedo raised to 16,000,000 from the button with 9♣8♣ and was called by Michael Wilklow out of the big blind with K♦4♦

The dealer spread a flop of 6♦K♠2♥, Wilklow checked, Acevedo bet 15,000,000, and Wilklow made the call. The turn was the 2♦, and both players checked. The river was the 7♦, and both players checked again. Wilklow's pair of Kings was good enough to take this pot down.

Level 47 : Blinds 5,000,000/10,000,000, 10,000,000 ante

Daniel Strelitz shoved from the small blind for 96,500,000 and Michael Wilklow liked what he saw in the big blind and called.

Daniel Strelitz: A♠2♦ All in
Michael Wilklow: A♣6♣

Strelitz was looking for a way back into the tournament, but after the 3♦5♥6♥ flop, it didn't seem too likely as Wilklow paired his six. A four would have given Strelitz a straight, but the 8♦ on the turn wasn't what he was looking for.

Nothing changed when the K♦ hit the river, meaning Strelitz was out in third.

Michael Wilklow raised to 25,000,000 on the button with A♦Q♥ and Michael Acevedo called with 8♥5♥ in the big blind.

The flop came A♥8♣9♠ and Acevedo check-called a bet of 15,000,000 from Wilklow to the 3♠ turn. Acevedo tapped the table once again and Wilklow, with his ace, cut out a bet of 60,000,000 and slid it forward.

Acevedo sat still for a while but ultimately decided to fold, which meant Wilklow extended his chip lead.

Michael Wilklow limped in from the button with J♦6♥ and Michael Acevedo checked K♠7♥ in the big blind to see a flop of Q♦6♣9♠, where both checked.

An 8♣ hit the turn and Acevedo led out for 20,000,000 with an open-ended straight draw, and Wilklow called with his pair of sixes.

When the 3♥ landed on the river, Acevedo reached for chips and put together a bet of 100,000,0000 before he pushed it into the pot. Wilklow rechecked his cards and after some time in the tank, made a big call to scoop the pot.
