Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jiawei Mao raised from under the gun to 60,000 and Adrian Mateos called from middle position.

Alexander Greenblatt also in middle position then three-bet to 225,000 and action folded to Damian Salas on the button who went deep into the tank and decided to four-bet to 475,000. All other players got out of the way and action was back on Greenblatt who also went deep into the tank before he moved all in for 1, 840,000.

Again this sent Salas back into the tank for 3-4 minutes before he released his hand sedning the pot to Greenblatt uncontested and with no flop needed.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alexander Greenblatt	2,550,000 1,420,000	1,420,000
Damian Salas	1,200,000 225,000	225,000

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Cesar Del Pino raised in late position to 60,000 and Angela Defoe called in the cutoff. Yenhan Chen raised to 175,000 on the button and in the big blind Rachid Amamou called with Del Pino calling behind him and Defoe folded.

The flop rolled out Q♣3♦5♠ and action checked around to Chen who bet 150,000 and only Del Pino called.

On the turn 10♥, Del Pino checked to Chen who bet 350,000. Del Pino thought for a bit before opting to move all in for 980,000 effective and Chen called to put himself at risk.

Yenhan Chen: K♥K♠ All in
Cesar Del Pino: Q♠10♠

The river 7♥ changed nothing and Del Pino's two pair was good for the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Cesar Del Pino	3,150,000 2,170,000	2,170,000

Jon Sofen

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Millionaire Maker champion will collect the $1 million bonus check from ClubWPT Gold regardless of the WSOP's ruling on the alleged chip-dumping scandal, PokerNews confirmed.

Jesse Yaginuma overcame a 9-1 chip deficit to James Carroll during heads-up play in the $1,500 buy-in tournament to win the $1,255,180 first-place prize, a payout that is currently in limbo due to an open investigation into the matter. Carroll's $1,012,320 second-place cash also remains uncertain.
