Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Limits: 40,000-140,000

The action folded to Bruno Furth in the small blind who limped and Shaun Deeb checked his option in the big blind.

On the Q♦9♥3♦ flop, Furth led with a min-bet of 40,000 and Deeb called.

The Q♠ turn checked through to the 3♠ river which saw Furth check again, Deeb bet 125,000, and Furth called fairly quick. Deeb tabled K♦Q♣4♦3♥ for a slow-played full house as he got some river value from Furth.

Limits: 50,000-175,000

Bruno Furth raised to 120,000 from middle position and Narcis Nedelcu potted it to 410,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Furth, he called.

The dealer fanned out a flop of 7♥10♣J♣ and Nedelcu jammed his last 500,000 into the middle. Furth made the call.

Narcis Nedelcu: A♣K♦4♦3♠ All in
Bruno Furth: A♠10♥9♠5♠

Furth had a pair of tens against the straight draw and backdoor low draw of Nedelcu. The 7♦ turn meant only a queen or king could save Nedelcu. The 5♣ landed on the river, and Nedelcu headed to the cashier's desk to collect his 15th-place payout.

Limits: 50,000-175,000

"Do your investors know you're more worried about fantasy points than money," Brian Hastings joked with Allen Kessler.

"It's Thursday, so if I bust out now I can go play slots and make some money. There's a 10X multiplier today," Kessler replied.

"Do your investors know you're thinking about slots?" Hastings added.

"I know about slots. I don't know much about poker, but I know about slots," Kessler said.

Philip Sternheimer then raised to 125,000 under the gun and Kessler moved all in for 390,000 in the big blind. "This is the moment," Kessler said as Sternheimer took a minute before calling.

Allen Kessler: A♠A♦5♥4♣ All in
Philip Sternheimer: A♥Q♥Q♦10♣

"Is it at least a three-way all in to guarantee 13th?" Shaun Deeb yelled out from the other table. The board ran out 6♥7♠6♦6♣3♠ and Kessler improved to a full house to earn the double up.
