Jerome Solomon

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

Antony Hallam did his best four corners in running out the clock before going all in against Ching Da Wu. He glanced at the flop 5♦7♥2♠, then stared at the clock, waiting patiently for a player to bust so there would be a pay jump were he to lose the hand. Wise move.

Antony Hallam: K♥J♥ All in
Ching Da Wu: 2♦2♣

Da Wu flopped a set of deuces and it held through the river and turn 10♠Q♣.

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

The action started before the flop when Brady Osterman moved all in for 300,000 and was called by David "ODB" Baker in late position. The players tabled their cards and headed to a runout with one player at risk.

Brady Osterman:10♦10♥ All in
David "ODB" Baker: Q♦Q♣

Baker's big pocket pair held the lead and held strong as a clean runout of 2♦4♦5♣K♦A♦ sent Osterman to the payout cage.

Gregory Orlick shoved for 125,000 from early position and Kai Hsu called in middle position. Dylan Wilkerson also called from the big blind.

The action was checked to the river on the 10♦K♠10♥A♥J♦ board, where Wilkerson checked and Hsu fired out 80,000. Wilkerson snap-folded.

Orlick then showed 2♣2♦, which was no match for the K♦10♣ of Hsu, who flopped a boat.

Robert Jones

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

The action was picked up on the river as Ryan Hohner had 585,000 in play from the big blind versus Chihsiang Chiu sitting in the small blind on a board of 8♦5♣6♠J♣5♥.

There was roughly 700,000 in the pot, and Chiu had a big decision for the majority of his stack in front of him. He made the call and saw the A♥J♠ from Hohner for two pair, which was good enough to scoop this pot of close to 2,000,000.

On a neighboring table, Tyson Sullivan was all in for 170,000 in the big blind after Christopher Fear raised from the hijack to 110,000. Fear made the call for 60,000 more.

Tyson Sullivan: AxAx All in
Christopher Fear: QxQx

Sullivan was able to find an ace on the turn, sealing his double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ryan Hohner	1,700,000 315,000	315,000
Tyson Sullivan	450,000 210,000	210,000
