Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action was folded to Fady Khabbaz, who moved all in for his last 720,000 from middle position, and was called by Yuya Kita also in middle position. All other players folded.
Fady Khabbaz: 8♣8♦
Yuya Kita: K♣K♥
The flop came 3♥Q♦7♦ and was not much help to Khabbaz. Nor was the A♠ on the turn, and he was drawing to an eight to stay alive. Unfortunately for Khabbaz, the 7♠ peeled off on the river, and he was sent to the cage in 19th spot.

After losing a sizable pot to Yilong Wang just moments ago, Felipe Boianovsky raised all in for 220,000 in the cutoff which saw Wang raise to 450,000. In the small blind, Martynas Vitkauskas raised to 1,450,000 and only Wang called.
The flop rolled out 2♥5♥8♣ and Vitkauskas bet 1,400,000 to earn a fold from Wang.
Felipe Boianovsky: J♦8♦
Martynas Vitkauskas: A♥A♣
The board ran out Q♥Q♦ and the aces up were good for Vitkauskas to take down the pot to eliminate Boianovsky.

Action was folded to Steven Jones, who made up from the small blind, and Paawan Bansal checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 7♥6♠A♦, and Jones led out for 120,000, and Bansal called, and the players saw the 4♠ drop on the turn.
Jones led out gain but for 500,000 this time, and again Bansal flat called. The river brought the K♦, and now Jones bet 1,100,000, leaving himself 1,100,000 behind. Bansal went into the tank for a while before he announced that he was all in and had Jones covered.
Now Jones went deeper and deeper into the tank, asking himself various questions and trying to work out what Bansal could be holding. He eventually put in his remaining chips and slammed over 7♣6♥ for two pair. Bansal sheepishly turned over 5♣4♣ for bottom pair, and the pot was shipped to Jones, giving him a full double-up.

Angela Defoe raised to 275,000 on the button and Ren Lin called in the small blind.
The flop rolled out 3♦J♥8♣ and Lin check-called a bet of 305,000 from Defoe.
On the turn 6♠, Lin checked over to Defoe again and she bet 600,000. Lin thought for a bit before calling.
Lin lead out on the J♦ river to the tune of 775,000 and Defoe went into the tank.
“I know I’m going to regret this,” said Defoe as she put in the chips to call.
At showdown Lin turned over Q♠J♠ for three jacks and it was good against Defoe’s Q♥Q♣.
