Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Troy Donaldson started it with a raise to 55,000 chips in the hijack. Stefan Clemens added to it with a three-bat to 135,000.

Carlos Leiva jumped on top of that with a raise to 255,000. Donaldson pondered for a bit before bailing, but Clemens made the call.

The flop came A♥J♣J♠. Clemens checked-called Leiva's 130,000-chip bet. The turn Q♠ brought checks from each.

Clemens checked the river 4♥, but called Leiva's bet of 300,000, then turned over K♠K♣.

Leiva tabled Q♥Q♣ for a full house and the big win.

From trying to walk out earlier in the level, when he thought he lost a hand, to more than two million chips? Leiva won't be leaving anytime soon.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alex James raised the pot to 60,000 under the gun and got called by Brian Yoon in late position. The flop came Q♠K♦A♣. James continued with a 30,000 bet and got called once again.

Keeping the pressure, James fired another 65,000 on the 8♠ turn but Yoon continued to hang on.

Increasing the pressure, James shot 80,000 on the river 3♦. Yoon decided to push back with 600,000. Not having it, James snap-shoved all-in for about 800,000. After asking for a count, Yoon folded.

James, happy scooping his pot, declared he held ten-jack and had it on the flop. Players were teasing him that that needed verification as he didn't turn his cards over.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

John Ciccarelli raised from under the gun to 50,000, and Carlos Leiva moved all in for 435,000. Julien Sitbon was sitting in the small blind and moved all in after a moment's delay, for 600,000. Ciccarelli with the monster stack called both of the shoves.

Carlos Leiva: 6♥6♦ All in
Julien Sitbon: A♠A♥ All in
John Ciccarelli: Q♦Q♣

The board ran out monotone with 6♣2♣4♣4♥J♣, and Ciccarelli held the flush. Sitbon's aces were cracked, and Leiva packed his bag and began to leave, but the players yelled, "Get back here, you won." Leiva had a full house for the win. Ciccarelli won a small side pot for 165,000.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Erik Eisen went all in, in early position, for his last five big blinds, pushing forward the 125,000. Kevin Eyster called.

Erik Eisen: J♦9♦ All in
Kevin Eyster: A♥7♥

The K♥6♠5♣ didn't spark much hope in Eisen, although he did pick up a gutter when the Q♦ came but it wasn't meant to be as the 8♠ completed the board and sent Eisen on his way.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Simone Andrian opened to 50,000 under the gun. Action folded around to the big blind Santiago Garza, who shoved all-in for 320,000. Andrian called taking them to showdown.

Santiago Garza: A♣2♣ All in
Simone Andrian: A♥Q♠

Garza got on his feet when he saw the cards tabled, but sat back down when the flop came 5♦5♣2♠.

He stayed seated through the runout 6♣9♣ and waited until the dealer finished counting his chips, that were eventually shipped towards his direction.
