Isayama Doubles Through Barzantny

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ko Isayama was all in from the hijack for his remaining 260,000 and Wojciech Barzantny called from the big blind.

Ko Isayama: A10All in
Wojciech Barzantny: A8

Both missed on the low 45973 runout, meaning Isayama's ten played and avoided a chop, doubling him up.

Cards Don't Give a Hoote

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Three players called Yang Zhang's 85,000-chip bet preflop, then checked when J9A hit the board.

David Hoote, first to act out of the big blind, pushed all in when the 10 landed on the turn. Zhang called.

David Hoote: A7All in
Yang Zhang: AA

Hoote had shoved into a set of aces and was drawing very slim, needing an eight for a straight to survive. When the useless 3 came on the river, Zhang took the pot and the overall chip lead.

Fehlig's Four Bet is Fortuitousness

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jacques Correa Ortega raised to 80,000 from the button, and Yu Liu three-bet to 320,000 from the small blind. Paul Fehlig then four-bet to roughly 2,000,000 from the big blind. Both players took their time before folding. Fehlig won a nice-sized pot without having to go to showdown.

Svoboda Doubles Through Matoserarte

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A short-stacked Erik Svoboda was all in for his last 295,000 and at risk against Carlos Matoserarte.

Erik Svoboda: 1010 All in
Carlos Matoserarte: A5

Svoboda breathed a sigh of relief when the Q210 hit the flop and Matoserarte was already prepaying when the 9 hit the turn.

The 9 further improved Svoboda to a boat. A relieved Svoboda and the rest of the table racked up their chips as their table was the next to break.
