Level 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Viktor Blom opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Biao Ding flat-called in middle position. Brock Wilson three-bet to 140,000 in the big blind and Blom just called. Ding four-bet all in for 338,000 and Wilson called, sending Blom's cards into the muck.

Biao Ding: A♠J♣ All in
Brock Wilson: A♦Q♥

Wilson was in a dominating position and the flop of Q♠7♠5♦ put him even further ahead with a pair of queens. Ding turned some hope on the J♥ but the 3♠ on the river sent Ding to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Justin Saliba had lost a big chunk of stack to Chongxian Yang earlier on in the level, and was looking to rebound slightly. He raised to 32,000 from the button and saw Lander Lijo call from the big blind.

The action checked through to the river for the board to read Q♠6♣6♦A♠J♦. Lijo checked, and Saliba fired out 45,000, leaving 133,000 behind. Lijo put the American all-in, and Saliba went deep into the tank.

After using up several timebanks, Saliba released his hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chongxian Yang	1,770,000 934,000	934,000
Lander Lijo	925,000 75,000	75,000

Biao Ding raised from the cutoff before Ben Tollerene three-bet to 90,000. Ding jammed for 153,000 and was called.

Biao Ding: J♥J♣ All in
Ben Tollerene: A♥Q♥

Ding remained ahead on the 10♠7♥2♥ flop but Tollerene picked up a flush draw to go with his overcards. Luckily for the Ding, the board completed with the 3♠4♣ and he doubled up.

An Ace in the Hall

Level 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Gregory Jensen opened to 35,000 in early position and Galen Hall shipped all in for 260,000 in the hijack. Aliaksei Boika woke up with a premium in the blinds and just called, forcing Jensen out of the hand.

Galen Hall: A♦Q♦ All in
Aliaksei Boika: K♥K♣

The flop fell 6♠5♣2♥ which provided no immediate help for Hall. The 6♥ on the turn meant Hall was looking for an ace on the river and lo and behold, the A♠ peeled off, giving Hall a double up.
