Level 23 : Limits 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 15,000-30,000
Limits: 30,000-60,000

Sovann Penn raised in the hijack and Melvin McCraney on the button, Dennis Morrison in the small blind, and Jon Kyte in the big blind all called.

Morrison bet the 5♣K♠Q♣ flop which prompted Kyte to raise and Penn to three-bet behind him. McCraney pitched his cards while the other two players called.

Everyone checked the 6♣ turn to the 7♥ river where Morrison check-called a bet from Kyte while Penn folded.

Kyte tabled A♦K♣J♣3♣ for second nut-flush and second nut-low which was good for him to scoop a sizable pot.

Christopher Vitch raised from middle position and Melvin McCraney called in the hijack. On the button, Jon Kyte three-bet. Vitch made it four bets and both opponents called.

On the 6♦5♥4♥ flop, Vitch checked to McCraney who bet and both opponents called.

The turn brought the 9♦. This time the action checked to Kyte who bet and both opponents called again.

The 5♠ river checked through.

Melvin McCraney: A♦9♣7♦7♣
Jon Kyte: A♣Q♠2♥2♣

McCraney's nines and fives were somehow good for the high and Kyte held the nut low as Vitch mucked after eliminating Todd Brunson on the previous hand.

Paez turned over A♣K♣5♣4♠ for ace-high with an eight-seven low and Vitch turned over A♠Q♠4♦4♣.

"I get three quarters this time," Vitch said in reference to an earlier hand with Paez and the WSOP bracelet winner took most of the pot with the same low and sevens up for the high.
