Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jonah Labranche raised to 205,000 from middle position and was called by Javier Swett on the button and Takashi Shimada in the big blind.

The dealer revealed a 4♥10♥6♦ flop. Action checked to Swett, who bet 240,000. Labranche folded, and Shimada called.

Action checked through on the Q♣ turn.

The river was the 8♥. Shimada checked for a third time, and Swett bet 625,000. Shimada then tossed his cards into the muck.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Baoqiang Ho and Ido Aboudi were all in preflop with cards on their backs with Ho being at risk.

Baoqiang Ho: A♣A♥ All in
Ido Aboudi: J♥J♦

Ho hit a set right away when the A♦8♦K♠ fanned out but when the 10♦ peeled the turn, Ho let out a "Oh, sh*t..." as Aboudi picked up straight and flush outs.

The river was clean for Ho when it completed the 10♣, giving him a full house to claim the pot.

Baoqiang Ho	3,670,000 1,090,000	1,090,000
Ido Aboudi	520,000 880,000	880,000

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Bradley Hinson was sitting under the gun and up against Benjamin Gros in the small blind. The players were already looking at a 8♠5♠K♦ flop.

Gros bet 225,000 and Hinson called, taking them to the 9♦ turn.

Gros moved all in for his remaining 760,000 and Hinson hesitated before making the call.

Benjamin Gros: 7♠4♠ All in
Bradley Hinson: K♠J♠

Gros was looking at a straight and flush draw, but Hinson had a better flush draw.

The 6♣ river brought in his straight and he celebrated with a friend who happened to be on the rail during the hand.

Benjamin Gros	2,675,000 1,475,000	1,475,000

Lo Ran Down by the River

Jerome Solomon

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Wai Kit Lo, who was involved in a controversy earlier in the day, came back from the break shortstacked.

He went all in with the first hand, and got a call from Lewis Spencer in the small blind.

Wai Kit Lo: A♣4♠ All in
Lewis Spencer: A♦10♦

Lo got good news on the flop, hitting his four, but the full rundown 4♣5♠6♣9♠10♥ did not go his way, as Spencer rivered a pair of tens to send Lo to the payout desk.
