Stewart Morrison

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised from early position to 150,000, and when action got to Evan Krentzman, he three-bet to 440,000. Haxton inquired as to Krentzman's remaining stack before making the call.

The flop came down 2♦5♦Q♠, and Haxton slid in a tower of blue 100,000 chips, putting Krentzman all in. Krentzman made the call, and the players revealed their cards.

Evan Krentzman: A♣A♦2♠4♦ All in
Isaac Haxton: K♠10♠9♦7♦

Both players had flopped a flush draw, but it was Krentzman with the higher diamonds.

The turn 8♥ kept Krentzman in the lead, and the river Q♦ secured his full double up.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ben Lamb opened from the hijack to 210,000, and only Aaron Kupin, on the button, called.

The players saw a flop of 9♦J♥9♣. Lamb opted to check, but when Kupin put in 175,000, Lamb then check-raised to 450,000. Kupin called, and they took a turn.

The turn K♥ slowed action down as both players checked.

The dealer then put out the 3♠, and when Lamb checked again, Kupin accepted the invitation to bet, doing so for 750,000.

Lamb wasted no time in folding, and Kupin pulled in the pot.

Michael Duek raised to 210,000 under the gun. Roman Hrabec called in the cutoff.

The flop came Q♦8♠2♥, and Duek bet the pot. It was 570,000, and Hrabec called.

The turn was the 10♥, and Duek moved all in. Hrabec looked at the amount, and made the call.

Michael Duek: K♥K♠9♦6♦ All in
Roman Hrabec: A♦4♦8♥6♥

The river was the 5♦, and Duek's pocket kings held for a much-needed double up.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Brant Hale raised to 210,000 under the gun before Bryn Kenney, two seats to his left, three-bet to 600,000. Hale called, leaving himself just 10,000 behind.

The dealer revealed the Q♦Q♣3♦ flop, and the players each put 10,000 into the pot, meaning Hale was all in and at risk.

Brant Hale: A♦A♥J♦2♦ All in
Bryn Kenney: A♠A♣J♠9♥

Both players had the same two pair, but Hale had a flush draw to go with his.

The turn 8♣ gave Kenney his own outs to win the pot outright, picking up an inside straight draw.

However, the deck favored Hale as the river was the 9♦, giving him a flush and a full double up.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Erick Lindgren limped under the gun. Two to his left, Lautaro Guerra, raised to 27,000. Aaron Kupin called in the big blind, and Lindgren folded.

The flop came 7♦6♥4♣ and Kupin decided to lead out for 175,000. Guerra made the call.

The turn came the 10♦, and Kupin bet 500,000. Guerra took a long time, asked the dealer to count the size of the pot, and made the call.

The river was the 9♣, and Kupin moved all in. Guerra asked for an exact count, which was 1,415,000. He then decided to call. Kupin revealed the 9♥8♥8♠7♠ for a straight, and Guerra mucked.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Talal Shakerchi raised in the cutoff, and only Jeffrey Hakim called, defending his big blind.

Hakim opted to check-raise on a A♥3♦7♠ flop, making it 700,000 after Shakerchi had bet 200,000. Shakerchi called to see one more card.

The turn came the 3♣ and both players checked. When the river J♦ was revealed, Hakim checked again, and Shakerchi paused for a moment before checking back.

Shakerchi tabled A♦K♠J♣4♦ for aces-up, which was enough to beat Hakim's 9♦7♣6♣5♣.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ben Lamb was heads-up with Anson Tsang where all of the chips went into the middle on the flop. Lamb had six outs to outright win versus the two outs of Tsang. Neither player connected and the pot was chopped up.

Following that, Isaac Haxton raised to 175,000 in the hijack and was called by Petko Tsakov on the button and Lamb in the big blind. The flop came Q♦10♥9♣ and Haxton continued with a bet of 90,000, which both of his opponents called.

The turn was the J♣ and Lamb led out with a bet of 600,000. Haxton raised the pot, which got Tsakov out of the hand, but Lamb shoved all in for slightly more. Haxton called and the cards were tabled.

Ben Lamb: A♣K♦5♦2♣ All in
Isaac Haxton: A♠K♥10♠8♥

Both players had the nut straight, but this time Lamb had an outright freeroll with a flush draw. The river was the A♥ and the two players chopped it up again.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Evan Krentzman limped on the button, Frank Brannan called from the small blind, and Phil Ivey checked his option.

The flop came 10♣9♠8♦ and action checked to Krentzman on the button. He bet 100,000, and Ivey was the only caller.

Action went check, check, on the 9♦ turn. On the Q♠ river, Ivey checked and Krentzman bet 275,000. Ivey gave him a look, and eventually threw in the call. Krentzman tabled Q♣Q♥6♥4♠ for a rivered full house, and that won him the pot
