Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Biao Ding raised in early position to 280,000, and Evan Krentzman, in the blinds, was the only player to call.

Krentzman check-called a bet of 300,000 on the 3♣10♠A♠ flop, and the players moved on to the turn card.

The dealer revealed the 4♥ turn, and when Krentzman checked for a second time, Ding pushed out a bet of 700,000. Krentzman thought for a moment before moving all in for roughly 2,000,000, and Ding made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Evan Krentzman: A♥Q♣10♣9♣ All in
Biao Ding: A♦Q♦5♣2♥

Krentzman had flopped top two pair but found himself behind Ding's turned straight.

The river 2♣ provided no help to Krentzman, who vacated his seat and headed to the exit.

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action started with Quan Zhou raising to 250,000 from the button, and Joni Jouhkimainen defended his big blind.

The players saw a 4♦A♥8♦ flop, and Jouhkimainen started with a check. Zhou continued with a bet of 620,000, which was met with a check-raise from Jouhkimainen, who moved all in for 885,000. Zhou called, and the players turned their cards over.

Joni Jouhkimainen: 10♦8♣7♣4♥ All in
Quan Zhou: A♣Q♥Q♦9♦

Jouhkimainen was ahead but needed to avoid several cards to survive.

The turn K♦ was instant service for Zhou, who improved to a flush; and when the river came the 6♥, Jouhkimainen's fate was sealed, and he vacated his seat.

Frank Crivello limped in from the cutoff. Farid Jattin on the button and Youness Barakat in the small blind did the same before Ka Kwan Lau checked in the big blind.

It checked to Jattin on the J♥5♣Q♦ flop, who bet 215,000. Barakat and Crivello called, while Lau opted to muck his cards.

Jattin fired 395,000 after it had checked to him again on the J♠ turn. Barakat tossed in another call, but Crovello got out of the way.

The remaining pair then checked it down on the 9♥ river. Barakat tabled 6♠5♥5♦3♦ for bottom full house, taking down the pot when Jattin added his cards to the muck.

Level 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Richard Gryko limped in under the gun. Santhosh Suvarna then raised to 320,000 in the small blind. Biao Ding called in the big blind, and Gryko came along as well.

Suvarna moved all in for 710,000 on the 5♥6♠7♥ flop. Ding quickly reshoved, getting Gryko out of the hand.

Santhosh Suvarna: Q♥J♦10♠9♥ All in
Biao Ding: A♥J♣10♣2♥

Both players remained without a pair on the 4♣ turn. The 2♣ river made Ding a pair of deuces, which was the winning hand as Suvarna was left with queen-high.
