Joseph Berg

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Niall Duffy raised to 100,000 from the button, and Eric Yanovsky called from the big blind.

The dealer rolled out a 7♣9♦A♥ flop. Yanovsky checked, Duffy bet 80,000, and Yanovsky made the call.

The turn brought the 2♠. Yanovsky checked again, and this time, Duffy bet 305,000, enough to get Eric Yanovsky to toss his cards into the muck.

Robert Jones

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action was picked up on the flop with roughly 400,000 in the middle and the board reading 10♥7♣4♦. Michael Conoran, from early position, bet 335,000 and was raised by Michael Ruane to 715,000 from the hijack. In the big blind, Rhett van Leeuwen put in another raise to 1,200,000. Conoran folded while Ruane made the call.

On the turn Q♥ Van Leeuwen went all in for another 1,200,000 and Ruane quickly called.

Michael Ruane: 7♦7♥ All in
Rhett van Leeuwen: 10♣4♣

The river was the 4♠. Even though Van Leeuwen made a full house, the improvement was not enough to win the pot worth 5,000,000 chips.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nicholas Funaro raised from late position to 105,000 and was called by Jean-Francois Alexandre in the cutoff. Action folded to Michael Acevedo in the small blind, who three-bet to 430,000. Funaro folded, and Alexandre called.

The flop came 5♦4♥Q♠ and Acevedo bet out for 225,000. Alexandre called, and the players saw the 6♦ peel off on the turn. Acevedo bet out for 350,000, and again Alexandre called.

The river came the Q♥, and Acevedo slowed down and checked. Alexandre went into the tank for a while and then pushed out a hefty bet of 1,200,000. Acevedo thought for a while, then pushed his cards into the muck. Alexandre was sent the pot uncontested on the river.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev opened to 120,000 from under the gun, then everybody folded to Michael Spiegel in the big blind who moved all in for 780,000. Madanzhiev asked for the count and called.

Michael Spiegel: 9♦8♦ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♠Q♥

Spiegel hit a pair on 10♥5♣A♣9♠7♠, but it wasn't enough to beat Madanzhiev's top pair.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sebastian Supper raised from early position to 120,000 only to face a three-bet from Santiago Montes in the small blind to 425,000. Supper went into the tank for a while before he announced all in. Montes snap called.

Sebastian Supper: 9♣9♠ All in
Santiago Montes: A♦A♥

The 10♦2♥7♠4♥10♥ board ran out cleanly for Montes, and he sent Supper to the rail and continued to build his stack. Apparently, he had aces in the hand before this one as well.
