Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop of J♥4♦7♣, and Andy Wilson, in the big blind, checked to Dohyeok Kim, who was on the button. Kim put in a bet of 230,000, and Wilson made the call.

On the turn 2♣, Wilson checked again, and Kim bet out 275,000; Wilson called.

The river 5♥ had both players check, and Wilson turned over J♠10♣ for a pair of jacks, and Kim showed A♠J♣, also for a pair of jacks, but with the better kicker.

Kim relaxed and stated, "I put you on a set of sevens".

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 10♦Q♥7♥ and around 325,000 in the middle Ori Hasson checked from the big blind and called a 100,000 bet from Alex Keating in the cutoff.

Keating bet 450,000 when checked to on the 3♦ turn and this time Hasson opted to fold.

Keating offered to show Hasson one card following the hand, asking if Hasson wanted to see the "fun one" or the "no-fun one". Hasson opted for the former and Keating showed the 6♠ before dragging in the pot.

Uri Reichenstein opened the action to 125,000 from under the gun, and received two callers: Michael Walsh in the cutoff and Matthew Wantman on the button.

On a flop of 9♠6♦Q♠ action checked over to Wantman, who led for 140,000. Both players called. The turn 9♦ checked through, and Wantman sized up to 480,000 on the K♠ river after being checked to for a third time. Reichenstein took a good three minutes before finally deciding to release his cards. Walsh didn't take nearly as long to do so.

Keating Flips for Monster Pot

Jacob Wilson

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

Two of the table's largest stacks got all their chips in preflop and were flipping for the chip lead.

Chih Fan: A♣K♥ All in
Alex Keating: 9♥9♠

The 5♥7♠9♣ almost instantly locked up the check mark for Keating, as Fan could only hit a running straight to chop and stay alive. He didn't do so on the 4♦8♠ runout, and Keating became both the table and tournament chip leader.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alex Keating	5,600,000 2,600,000	2,600,000

Ori Hasson	3,380,000 25,000	25,000
