Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Amnon Filippi raised to 175,000 in middle position. Mihails Morozovs called in the hijack, as did Bryce Yockey in the big blind.

The 5♣9♣9♦ flop checked to Morozovs, who bet the pot of 600,000. Yockey then shoved all in, Filippi folded, and Morozovs called off for roughly 1,000,000.

Mihails Morozovs: A♣8♥7♣2♣ All in
Bryce Yockey: Q♥Q♣8♣4♦

The 3♠ turn brought Morozovs a low draw, but, much to his detriment, the 5♠ river paired the board. Yockey's queens held and won the pot, eliminating Morozovs.

With three players seeing a board of 3♣7♠K♠ and 275,000 in the middle, Andres Korn checked from the big blind and Darryll Fish bet 275,000 from early position. Justin Liberto raised from the cutoff, Korn folded and Fish called off with his remaining stack of 85,000, putting himself at risk.

Darryll Fish: A♦2♣2♠10♠ All in
Justin Liberto: A♠10♥5♠4♣

The rest of the board ran out J♣3♠. Fish was good at showdown with a flush to double up through Liberto.

Yehuda Buchalter: A♥K♠5♠2♥ All in
Zachary Zaret: A♦K♥10♣7♦

Jerome Solomon

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Four players were in for 140,000 preflop, that number dwindled to two rather quickly after the dealer laid out a flop of Q♥7♦Q♦. Stephen Hubbard went all in and chip leader Zachary Zaret made the call.

Stephen Hubbard: J♣10♦10♥8♦ All in
Zachary Zaret: A♥Q♣4♥3♦

With Zaret holding trip queens, Hubbard needed help on the turn and river, but he didn't get it. The J♥K♦ did not change the winning hand, sending Hubbard to the rail.

Andres Korn opened to 120,000 from middle position, Christopher Vitch called from the button and Bryce Yockey three-bet to 600,000 from the big blind. Only Vitch called.

The flop came 2♠10♠2♣ and Yockey fired a 375,000 continuation bet that Vitch called.

Yockey checked the Q♦ river and Vitch bet 600,000. Yockey opted to fold and Vitch took down a sizable pot without showdown.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Table chipleader Zachary Zaret raised to 125,000 in the hijack, and Justin Liberto called in the cutoff. Calvin Anderson then squeezed in a three-bet to 560,000 on the button, which only Zaret called.

Zaret and Anderson both checked the 4♦9♠5♦ flop, after which Zaret checked the 2♥ turn as well. Anderson picked the aggression back up and bet 450,000, only to be raised to 1,600,000 by Zaret.

Anderson spent a few minutes in the tank before electing to let his hand go and leaving himself a healthy stack.

Yockey Gets a Massive Double Through Vitch

Ryan Lashmar

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 9♥2♣7♦K♥ and a bit more than 700,000 in the middle, Christopher Vitch checked from the small blind. Bryce Yockey bet 300,000 from the big blind and Vitch called.

On the 2♦ river Vitch shoved, covering Yockey who had slightly over 1,200,000 left. Yockey went deep into the tank for several minutes before opting to call.

"You're good", Vitch told his opponent, tabling J♥9♣8♥7♦ for two pair, turned into a bluff with blockers to full houses. Yockey turned over J♣9♠10♠8♠ for a bigger two pair to score a colossal double up through Vitch.

Jerome Solomon

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Zachary Zaret raised under the gun to 120,000, and Martin Schamaun three-bet with a pot-sized raise to 560,000. Zaret added to it, betting all of his chips. Schamaun, who had fewer chips, made the all-in call.

The two turned over similar hands, each featuring pocket aces.

Martin Schamaun: A♣A♥3♠J♠ All in
Zachary Zaret: A♠A♦6♦5♦

The cards picked Zaret, as he made a wheel through the 3♣4♠Q♥2♣ turn. Nothing changed with the 10♦ on the river, bringing an end to Schamaun's tournament.
