Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Georgios Sotiropoulos raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Kiat Lee three-bet to 70,000 in the big blind. Sotiropoulos called and they went heads-up to the A♠7♦5♦ flop.

Lee checked over to Sotiropoulos who bet 40,000. Lee called and checked again on the 9♠ turn, and this time Sotiropoulos bet 116,000. Lee quickly called.

The river was the 8♥ and Sotiropoulos announced all in. Lee had around 260,000 remaining and snap-folded as Sotiropoulos took the pot.

Virgile Turchi moved all in for 78,000 from early position and Brandon Hamlet called on the button.

Virgile Turchi: A♥10♥ All in
Brandon Hamlet: J♦J♠

Turchi was looking for an ace to stay alive as the flop came Q♠7♠8♦. The 9♥ turn gave him additional outs with a straight draw, but he missed the 10♠ river and Hamlet's jacks stayed in the lead to send Turchi to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There were roughly 140,000 chips in the middle on 3♣K♠3♠4♠10♥. Joey Weissman bet 110,000 from the small blind and left himself with 1 chip behind, Pavlin Karakikov quickly called from under the gun.

Weissman asked Karakikov "you just called, right?" which Karakikov responded with a nod. Weissman tabled K♦Q♠ but could not beat Karakikov's A♣K♣. Weissman left himself with less than a big blind for the spin.
