What started as a standard raise quickly escalated. Stephen Hubbard opened to 60,000 from middle position, and Aditya Sushant responded with a three-bet to 160,000 on the button.

Hubbard came back with a four-bet to 350,000, and Sushant took his time, nearly two minutes, before announcing a five-bet to 580,000.

Without much hesitation, Hubbard moved all in, and to the surprise of many, Sushant gave it up.

Arthur Morris raised to 60,000 in middle position and Anatoly Korochenskiy flatted on the button.

The flop came J♦K♥Q♥ and Morris continued with a bet of 75,000. Korochenskiy announced a raise to 170,000, prompting Morris to take some time to think through his decision.

After a moment of thought, Morris reluctantly tossed his cards into the muck.

"Only one time," said Korochenskiy as he turned over K♣J♠ to show that he had flopped two pair.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Paul Heath kicked things off in middle position with a raise to 75,000. He got calls from both the blinds.

On the 4♦10♣J♣ flop both blinds checked, and Heath quickly led out a bet of 125,000. Gregory Robbins in the big blind was the only one who stuck around to see the turn.

When the 2♣ appeared on the turn, Robbins checked again and Heath pushed all in without any hesitation. Robbins asked for a count, the dealer confirmed 390,000, but that seemed too much for Robbins as he folded.
