Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised from the hijack to 80,000. Isaac Haxton in the small blind and Mathew Frankland in the big blind both called.

The flop came 5♠3♥2♣, Haxton bet 80,000, and Mateos called.

On the 3♦ turn, Haxton led out once again, this time for 330,000. Mateos called.

When the A♠ fell on the river, Haxton checked and Mateos bet 455,000. Haxton folded.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jason Koon, in the cutoff, and Phil Ivey, on the button, just got their stacks into the middle preflop, with Ivey the player at risk.

Koon had AxKx while Ivey held 10x10x. The board ran out queen high for Ivey to double.

Ivey opened the following hand to 100,000, then reached into his bag and pulled out some glass tupperware, which appeared to contain some form of peppered or Cajun salmon. As Ivey took a few mouthfuls, the button and blinds got out of the way, and the 11-time bracelet winner took his stack above 2,000,000.

Phil Ivey	2,200,000 1,255,000	1,255,000

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Vinny Lingham raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and was called by Jason Koon and Phil Ivey in the blinds. The flop came K♠6♥2♥ and Lingham continued with a bet of 200,000. Koon called and Ivey got out of the way.

The turn was the A♠ and both players checked to the K♦ on the river. Koon led out with a small bet of 80,000 and Lingham raised to 325,000. Koon instantly mucked his cards and Lingham was awarded the pot.

The Room Gets a Little Quieter

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to Sean Perry and, knowing that Martin Kabrhel only had a stack of 100,000 in the big blind, he raised to 80,000. The small blind folded, and Kabrhel called.

When the flop came down 5♥2♠8♥, Kabrhel checked and Perry threw 20,000 in, the same amount as Kabrhel's stack.

Kabrhel let Perry know this was not a legal bet as the big blind, and therefore the minimum bet, was 40,000. Perry corrected his bet size, and then Kabrhel entered the tank.

After a quick look around the table, double-checking his tablemates' stacks, Kabrhel committed his remaining 20,000 chips to the pot.

Martin Kabrhel: Q♣8♠ All in
Sean Perry: A♥7♥

Kabrhel was ahead, but Perry was positive that he was going to have the best hand by the river.

Sure enough, the 4♥ turn had Kabrhel drawing dead and when the river came down an inconsequential J♣, he headed to the exit.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Danny Tang raised to 375,000 in early position, leaving just 65,000 chips behind. Andrew Lichtenberger just called on his left and the rest of the table folded. The flop came K♦J♣3♣ and Tang checked to Lichtenberger who flicked in a bet of 100,000. Tang called off his last 65,000 and the cards were tabled.

Danny Tang: A♦8♦ All in
Andrew Lichtenberger: A♥10♣

The 5♥ hit the turn and Tang was just pleading for a chop. However, the 4♣ on the river bricked out and Tang was out-kicked by Lichtenberger's better ace-high.
