Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Viktor Blom raised to 100,000 on the button, Edward Jackson Spivack potted in the big blind, and they quickly got the rest of Spivack's 610,000 in the middle.
Edward Jackson Spivack: A♣10♠6♥3♣2♣ 
Viktor Blom: A♥K♥10♣6♦2♦
The board ran out 9♦A♦3♦5♥7♦ and Blom finished with a flush to take the high, while they chopped the low.
The next hand, Phil Hui limped in from the button, Spivack raised to 200,000 in the small blind, and Hui called. Spivack put in his last 120,000 on the 9♠2♠6♣ flop and Hui called.
Edward Jackson Spivack: A♠10♣10♦9♥3♥
Phil Hui: K♥J♥J♣9♦7♦
Both players had flopped top pair and improved to trips on the 5♦9♣ runout, but Spivack earned the pot with his ace and low to scoop a double up.
