Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Quan Zhou opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Phil Ivey defended from the big blind. The flop came A♠K♥6♥ and Ivey check-called a bet of 43,000 from Zhou.

The 8♠ landed on the turn and Ivey checked again. Zhou eyed up Ivey's stack and then made a pot-sized bet of 161,000. Ivey went into the tank for a couple of minutes before finally releasing his cards.

Zhou showed the A♦ and then let Ivey pick two more cards for his eyes which happened to be the K♠2♠ for a minimum of two pair.

Stewart Morrison

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Steve Yagudaev raised to 30,000 under the gun, Nicolas Milgrom committed his remaining 4,000 before Mark Steinberg did the same, also with a stack of just 4,000. That ended the preflop action, and the players revealed their cards.

Nicolas Milgrom: A♣Q♥6♣4♠ All in
Mark Steinberg: J♠J♦7♥3♠ All in
Steve Yagudaev: A♦Q♦J♣3♥

The 4♣K♠3♣ flop gave Milgrom hope of a spin-up, flopping a flush draw, and it was instant service with the turn 2♣.

The dealer put out the K♦ river, but Steinberg was already on his way out the door as Milgrom already had the pot wrapped up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Steve Yagudaev	530,000 530,000	530,000
Mark Steinberg	30,000 460,000	460,000

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Erik Nordstrand raised the pot to 35,000 in middle position and Phil Hellmuth reraised to 110,000 on his left. The action folded back to Nordstrand who called off his stack of 48,000.

Erik Nordstrand: A♠K♦8♥8♣ All in
Phil Hellmuth: A♣A♦10♣6♣

The flop came K♠K♥4♦ and Nordstrand took the lead with three kings. The 5♠ and 9♦ runout changed nothing and Nordstrand earned a double up through a very quiet Hellmuth.
