Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Following a four-bet preflop from Joao Simao on the button, and a five-bet shove from Kyosuke Nagami, Chongxian Yang then took back his three-bet and replaced it with a six-bet reshove. Simao, covered, didn’t want to play for his tournament life and returned his cards, along with his chips, to the dealer, and the all in players went to showdown.

Kyosuke Nagami A♦K♠ All in
Chongxian Yang 9♣9♠

Yang came out on top at the end of the flip, and engulfed Nagami’s stack when the board ran out 10♥10♦2♥J♠3♥

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Chino Rheem raised to 4,000 on the button. David Wesson was his only customer from the big blind.

The flop came Q♦10♥4♥. Wesson checked and Rheem bet 5,000. Wesson called.

The turn was the 6♣ and Wesson checked again. Rheem then moved all in for his last 32,100. Wesson then started to joke around with him.

"You've probably got ace king." Wesson said. "I've got a pair".

"Then put it in", Rheem said back.

Wesson ultimately decided against it, and folded.

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

Jesse Lonis raised to 6,000 on the button, and Tyler Cornell came along from the big blind.

The flop was J♦10♠5♣ and Cornell checked. Lonis bet 7,500, and was met with a call.

The turn brought the 9♥, and this time Lonis fired 19,000 after Cornell checked again. Cornell remained interested in the pot, and called.

The river was the 4♦ and Lonis wasn't done betting. He went for a 47,000 bet on the river. Cornell announced that he was all in, and Lonis started to think. He eventually folded, and Cornell dragged a sizeable pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tyler Cornell	235,000 180,000	180,000

Jacob Wilson

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

2024’s Player of the Year Scott Seiver had a stack worth just 13 Big Blinds, when he got it all in preflop against Jesse Lonis.

Scott Seiver A♣A♠ All in
Jesse Lonis 10♥10♦

The 7♠4♥7♦Q♠6♣ board ran out clean for Seiver, and when asked to verify how much he was all in for, he claimed it was a “huge 28,000 chips”, and commented on how he can now get back into the tournament, due to his chip count resetting as if he’d just sat down.

Player	Chips	Progress
Scott Seiver	60,000

Seidel Finds a Double Up

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

Jacob Kauffman raised under the gun to 6,000. Sean Mirrasouli called next to act, and Erik Seidel came along from the big blind.

The three players saw a flop of 9♥7♥6♣. Seidel checked, and Kauffman bet 11,000. Mirrasouli folded, and action was on Seidel. He went all in for 40,500 and Kauffman quickly called.

Erik Seidel: 6♥4♥ All in
Jacob Kauffman: K♦K♥

The turn A♥ gave Seidel a flush, but Kauffman could still hit a higher flush with another heart, which would have busted the 10-time bracelet winner. The A♣ river did not do the trick however, and Seidel remains in the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sean Mirrasouli	225,000 165,000	165,000
Jacob Kaufmann	130,000
Erik Seidel	103,500 43,500	43,500

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

Action folded round to Brock Wilson in the cutoff, who shot out a min-raise to 6,000. The button and small blind got out of the way, and as the only player left to act Kevin Rabichow shoved for 41,000, or just under 14 big blinds. With a large stack, Wilson didn’t hesitate to make the call, and revealed that he was out-pipping Rabichow by one.

Kevin Rabichow A♣7♦ All in
Brock Wilson A♥8♠

Drawing to a seven, Rabichow also picked up diamond outs when the dealer rolled out a flop of 5♦3♦K♦ and wasted no time in picking up the check mark as the turn 6♦ sealed his double up. Only a hidden joker in the deck could have saved Wilson, but the dealer offered the 2♠ instead, before pushing the chips over to Rabichow.

Player	Chips	Progress
Brock Wilson	200,000 139,500	139,500
Kevin Rabichow	88,000 25,000	25,000

Ren Lin opened to 8,000 in the cutoff and Josh Arieh called on the button before Mustapha Kanit three-bet jammed a stack of 56,000 from the big blind. Lin slapped his own hand and folded and Arieh entered the tank before calling with a bigger stack.

Mustapha Kanit: A♣Q♣ All in
Josh Arieh: Q♠10♠

Kanit had his opponent dominated and the board ran out Q♥K♣4♣4♥9♣ to improve the Italian to the nut flush for a double up.

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Justin Saliba opened to 8,000 under the gun, Alex Foxen reraised from middle position to 19,000.

The board came 6♠5♣6♦ and Saliba checked. Foxen continued for 9,000. Saliba made the call.

The turn was the 3♦ and both players checked. Then on the A♠ river, Saliba thought for a while before checking. Foxen moved all in, and Saliba folded.

When folding, Saliba threw his cards towards Foxen's. Foxen mixed together all four cards and turned one over. The first card he revealed was the J♣, and the second was the A♥.

"You folded Ace Jack?", he asked Saliba. Saliba confirmed that he did, and Foxen won this pot.
