Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Elan Lepovic opened to 130,000 from under the gun. Jason Reels called from middle position, and Yvonne Alton defended from the big blind.

Lepovic continued for 180,000 on the 10♥6♦4♣ flop. Reels folded, but Alton check-called to find the 8♣ turn that she checked. Lepovic checked back.

The 7♠ didn't bring more action and Alton flipped over 8♥7♥ for a runner-runner two pair. Lepovic didn't have a better hand.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a three-bet pot with around 900,000 already in the middle, Shad Morris and Korte Yeo checked on a monotone flop 5♥9♥A♥.

The 2♣ hit the turn and this time Morris check-called Yeo for 325,000. The 2♥ paired the board and both players checked. Yeo tabled A♦K♦ but had the bad surprise to see J♥J♣ in Morris's hand for a rivered flush and the pot was shipped to Morris.

Player	Chips	Progress
Korte Yeo	3,300,000 1,220,000	1,220,000
Shad Morris	2,640,000 1,860,000	1,860,000
