Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The board read A♣9♥2♣A♥2♦ with around 900,000 in the middle.

Nick Schulman had checked in the small blind and the action was on Martin Kabrhel in the cutoff. He was sitting in the tank, and after a while, Jonathan Borenstein called the clock on him. The floor came over and confirmed with the dealer that Kabrhel had had enough time. The dealer agreed for the floor to give Karhel 30 seconds.

When the count was on five seconds left, Kabrhel announced a bet of 880,000. Schulman was up for a decision now and after more than two minutes, he got the clock called on him too. The floor did the same here and gave him 30 seconds. The floor was getting to count down from five seconds and Schulman shrugged and called.

Kabrhel tabled the A♠A♦Q♥4♣ for quad aces for Schulman to muck.

Sava Krink

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

In a preflop raising battle, George Alexander ended up all in, and Roussos Koliakoudakis made the call, taking the hand straight to a showdown.

George Alexander: K♦K♣8♠8♣ All in
Roussos Koliakoudakis: K♥Q♥J♦10♣

Alexander was ahead with a pair of kings in his hand, but the flop Q♠Q♦6♦ flipped the script fast, giving Koliakoudakis trip queens. With very few outs left, Alexander needed a miracle, but the 6♠ turn and J♣ river sealed his fate, sending him to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action picks up on the river here in a hand that occurred blind vs blind but it was confirmed that Bryce Yockey was all in on the button preflop for only one 5,000 chip.

On a board reading, A♦J♥9♦A♠9♥, Andy Miller bet 125,000 from the small blind. Ethan Cahn responded by cutting out a bet of 525,000 and sliding it forward, leaving him with only 40,000 behind.

A dumbfounded Miller asked for a count and seemed apprehensive but ultimately put in the call.

Cahn declared quads and tabled 9♠9♣7♦3♠. Miller showed the second nuts with A♣Q♥J♦2♦ for top boat and all the while Yockey was left as a stoic spectator, as their was no chance of his hand to win.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Erik Nordstrand raised from under the gun to 70,000. Dong Suh called from the cutoff, and the action folded to Martin Kabrhel who elected to make it 300,000. Both players called.

The flop read Q♥7♣5♣ and after some deliberation, Kabrhel moved his remaining 725,000 chips into the middle. Nordstrand did the same, making the bet 785,000 to go, and the action was on Suh who would also make the call.

Erik Nordstrand: Q♦J♣9♣9♦ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♥A♣9♥6♥ All in
Dong Suh: K♣K♦8♣6♠

Kabrhel asked the dealer for a clean runout, and the dealer provided a 5♠ turn card, and a 10♦ river. Kabrhel successfully faded the plethora of potential cards that would have ended his tournament and scooped in a massive pot of slightly under 3,000,000 chips; while Nordstrand hit the rail, and Suh was left wounded.
