Level 33 : Blinds 0/0, 300,000 ante

The last four hands have all been won with a flop bet. Two of them went Samuel Stranak's way, with Robert Klein and Xixiang Luo taking one each for themselves.

With the pay jumps getting bigger, and the next one being worth around $38,000, it's no surprise!

Level 32 : Blinds 0/0, 250,000 ante

7♣4♣7♥7♠9♦
10♣9♥10♠Q♥K♣

Brian Smith was second to act and bet the pot of 1,250,000, leaving himself 275,000 behind. Danny Wong then shoved 2,150,000, and Xixiang Luo called. When it got back to Smith, he put in the rest.

Brian Smith: Q♠9♣9♠3♣ All in
Danny Wong: A♥K♦10♥6♦ All in
Xixiang Luo: K♥8♥7♦5♠

Smith flopped a boat on the bottom and had to fade the outs of Wong, who had trips on the same board. Luo was sitting pretty on the top board with trips and made quads on the turn to lock it up.

The bottom went Wong's way as he hit a bigger full house on the river, meaning Smith was out in fifth.
