Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kenja Wiseman opened for 50,000 in late position and received a three-bet shoved for 445,000 from Matthew Radcliffe. Wiseman called taking them to showdown.

Matthew Radcliffe: A♥A♣ All in
Kenja Wiseman: A♠K♣

The moment Radcliffe turned over his hand, the whole table erupted in a mixture of shock, disgust, and disbelief. Apparently, this was the fourth time Radcliffe had gotten pocket aces. As the table expected, the aces held on the K♠6♥3♣Q♦6♣ board scoring another boost in chips because of aces.

Player	Chips	Progress
Matthew Radcliffe	930,000 563,500	563,500
Kenja Wiseman	470,000 288,500	288,500

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

The action was picked up when the board showed: A♣9♥6♦4♣. Ichun Chiu in the big blind and Malcolm Franchi in early position both checked to see the river A♦.

Chiu was first to speak and bet 35,000. Franchi reacted with a raise to 140,000. Chiu asked the dealer how much the raise was, took a moment and decided to reraise all in. Franchi folded and saw his stack diminishing.

Ichun Chiu	1,850,000 704,000	704,000
Malcolm Franchi	510,000 90,000	90,000
