Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yoann Rubele raised to 240,000 in the cutoff and Yohan Rascar shoved the small blind for 1,230,000. When it got back to Rascar, he asked for a count and eventually made the call.

Yohan Rascar: A♣K♦ All in
Yoann Rubele: A♦Q♣

As the cards were on their backs, Rascar stood up and Damarjai Davenport gave some advice.

"Why are you standing up, sit down! You're giving yourself bad energy,".

Rascar did have the best of it going to the flop, but soon fell behind after Rubele made two pair on A♠Q♠6♠.

"See, I told you don't stand up," said Davenport.

Neither the 6♣ turn nor 8♠ river could save Rascar, and he was out in tenth.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After just doubling up, Dani Genov was involved in a pot with Eshaan Bhalla.

Bhalla limped in from the small blind and Genov checked from the big blind to see a flop of 4♠A♣3♠, where Bhalla bet 120,000 and Genov called.

Bhalla then checked the 2♦ turn and Genov took the opportunity to bet 350,000, which Bhalla called.

When the 9♠ completed the flush draw on the river, Bhalla tapped the table again and Genov bet 900,000, leaving himself around 1,700,000 behind. Bhalla took some time to think about it and then moved all in, putting Genov to the test.

"Dam! He playing poker over here," said Damarjai Davenport. "I knew he was gonna do that!" he added.

After a bit more thinking, Genov eventually made the fold, allowing Bhalla to scoop in the pot.

"Go on, show a red card," said Davenport. "That's the sickest hand you've played all summer,". Bhalla didn't show, but retrieved the pot with a smirk as he returned his cards face down.
