Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

In the first hand, John Riordan went all in from the button and Rania Nasreddine called in the small blind.

John Riordan: A♥A♣ All in
Rania Nasreddine: A♠K♦

The board ran out 6♥5♣4♦8♣J♠, offering no help for Nasreddine, doubling Riordan up.

In the very next hand, Calvin Anderson opened from under the gun, action folded to Nasreddine, who went all in for her last 42,500. Shunjiro Kita in the small blind then went all in himself for 104,000, and Anderson folded after thinking briefly about it, and the cards went on their backs.

Rania Nasreddine: K♠Q♣ All in
Shunjiro Kita: J♠J♦

The J♣8♦10♠ flop gave Kita a set, but Nasreddine had a straight draw. But the 2♠ turn and the 2♣ river completed the full house for Kita, sending Nasreddine to tha rail, and Kita collected her bounty.

Stewart Morrison

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was joined as three players had all their chips in the middle. Both Ryo Hara and Christopher Staats were at risk, as they were both covered by Dragana Mackelprang.

Ryo Hara: 4♠4♣ All in
Christopher Staats: 8♣8♦ All in
Dragana Mackelprang: A♦10♠

There were two bounties available for Mackelprang, and the K♥10♣10♦ flop significantly improved her chances of collecting them. When the turn 10♥ arrived, both her opponents got out of their seats, as Mackelprang now had the check mark with four-of-a-kind.

The mandatory Q♠ river was dealt, and the pot was pushed to Mackelprang, who asked if she could take a photo of the board before the dealer shuffled for the next hand.

Akihiro Konishi went all in for 8,500 in under the gun. Brian Rast, in the early position, raised to 16,000 and found a caller in Lawrence Brandt in the big blind.

On the 10♥2♦8♥ flop, Rast bet 17,000, and Brandt went all in for 77,900. Rast needed a bit to think about it, but made the call in the end, sending the cards on their backs.

Akihiro Konishi: A♥9♥ All in
Lawrence Brandt: K♥4♥ All in
Brian Rast: A♠8♣

Konishi and Brandt were both chasing the flush whilst Rast had a pair of eights. The 10♦ turn and the J♦ river didn't change anything, allowing Rast to collect a decent pot and two bounties.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Rajesh Vohra was all in from the big blind, eyeing a pot worth around 45,000. Erik Seidel in the small blind and Frederik Thiemer under the gun were still active, playing for a side pot of roughly 15,800.

The flop came K♥A♣3♦, and Seidel immediately fired 25,000. Thiemer folded without hesitation, securing the side pot for Seidel. With just Vohra left in the hand, the cards were turned up.

Rajesh Vohra:10♣10♠ All in
Erik Seidel:K♦K♣

Seidel had flopped top set, and the 7♠ turn left Vohra drawing dead. The 10♦ river gave Vohra a set of his own, but it was far too late. Seidel scooped both pots and added a bounty to his collection.

Player	Chips	Progress
Erik Seidel	245,000 185,000	185,000

Frederik Thiemer	199,000 44,800	44,800

On a completed board of 3♠K♦8♣7♣K♥ and with roughly 35,000 in the middle, Michael Moncek jammed from under the gun, causing Dylan Lambe to go into the tank. Lambe took a while and did some inventory of his own before making the call.

Moncek turned over trips with K♣10♥ to earn himself the double-up, as Lambe revealed A♥Q♥ for just ace-high.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jason Daly opened the action with a raise to 2,400 from under the gun, and Max Neugebauer made the call from early position. Sean Winter then three-bet to 3,600, leaving himself just 100 behind. Joseph Beasy called on the button, as did Min Zhang from the big blind.

When the action returned to Daly, he moved all in. Neugebauer and Winter both called, while Beasy and Zhang got out of the way, setting up a three-way showdown.

Sean Winter: 6♠5♣ All in
Max Neugebauer: K♣Q♦ All in
Jason Daly: 4♠2♠

The flop came 7♣A♠J♠, giving Daly a flush draw and Neugebauer a gutshot. The 2♦ turn gave Daly a small pair, and for a moment it looked like he might scoop the pot and score two knockouts.

But the river brought the 10♦, completing Neugebauer's straight and turning the tables. He doubled through Daly and claimed the bounty from Winter.
