The flop came 10♣7♠K♥. Action checked around to Kempton who bet 150,000 and only Francort called.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Erik Seidel limped in from the small blind and Michael Wang checked his option in the big blind. The flop came Q♣8♣7♦ and it didn't take long for the two players to get all of their chips in the middle with Wang at risk for 885,000.

Michael Wang: 10♥9♥9♣6♠ All in
Erik Seidel: 10♠9♠8♥4♣

Both players flopped straight draws but it was Wang's pair of nines that had him out front. The 3♦ on the turn and the A♦ on the river changed nothing and Wang held on for a double up.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Many smaller pots were traded on the table and Alex Foxen was the one to lose the most ground as of lately, as he dropped to around 20 big blinds. Jorryt van Hoof took a pot off Isaac Kempton and then limped into Javier Francort in a battle of the blinds.

They headed to the K♦8♥3♣ flop on which 125,000 each found their way into the middle of the table. No betting action followed on the 3♠ turn and 8♦ river, and Francort won the pot with the A♣9♠9♣7♥.

Javier Francort raised to 200,000 on the button and was called by Marcello Del Grosso and Isaac Kempton in the blinds. The flop came K♠9♠2♦ and it checked to Francort who continued with a bet of 300,000. Del Grosso called and Kempton got out of the way.

The turn brought the 10♦ and Del Grosso led out with a bet of 800,000. Francort spent a couple of minutes in the tank before announcing all-in as the bigger stack. Del Grosso also spent a couple of minutes in the tank and eventually decided to lay his hand down.

Michael Rocco raised to 180,000 on the button and was called by Erik Nordstrand in the small blind as well as Quan Zhou in the big blind. Following the Q♣5♥3♦ flop, Nordstrand checked and Zhou asked for the size of the pot before making it 395,000 to go.

Rocco then raised it up to 800,000 and Nordstrand folded. Zhou checked the stack of Rocco, counted his own stack and then repotted to 3,020,000. Almost instantly, Rocco flung his cards into the muck.
