Wong had flopped a straight on top and had two pair on the bottom, and Stranked had a pair and straight draw on top with a set on the bottom. The runouts didn't change anything, and the two chopped up what was in the middle.

Jacob Wilson

Level 24 : Blinds 0/0, 40,000 ante

9♣6♠9♦J♣8♦
7♦7♣A♥4♦5♦

On the flop, Tyler Levin bet 85,000 into a pot of 240,000, and received both Samuel Stranak and Robert Klein as customers. He then potted on the flop, and Stranak placed in yet another call. Klein decided that this was his final street, and mucked his cards.

On the river, Levin checked his action over to Stranak, and this time it was Stranak's turn to pot it, putting Levin all in and at risk. Levin took his sweet time before flicking in a call, only to see the bad news. Levin's A♦K♥9♥8♠ had been outdone, as the Q♥9♠7♠J♦ of Stranak had a better full house on the top board, as well as trip sevens on the bottom.

Level 24 : Blinds 0/0, 40,000 ante

4♣8♠6♣A♥3♥
8♣9♦10♦K♠K♥

Xixiang Luo opened the betting, and chose a size of 150,000 into a pot of 180,000. When action folded round to Alexis Fleur he shoved, and Luo snapped him off and tabled his hand instantly.

Luo showed that he had flopped incredibly well, with J♦7♣5♣5♦. This gave him the absolute nuts on the top board, with an eight-high straight, as well as an open-ended straight flush redraw. On the bottom, he had the second nut straight, losing only to queen-jack, as well as a jack-high flush redraw.

Fleur was not in great shape; his 10♣6♥6♦2♣ had flush and boat outs on the top, however he couldn't hit either that would improve Luo to a straight flush. On the other board, he needed a running full house. Fleur was not able to get there on either board, and Luo's scoop sent him home.
