Brandon Crawford opened to 65,000 in middle position and was called by Bernard Vu on his left. Pedro Marques raised the pot to 295,000 in the cutoff and the action folded back to Crawford who called. Vu got out of the way and the flop of A♥4♦2♠ hit the felt. Both players checked and the 9♠ landed on the turn. Crawford announced all in and Marques called off his last 175,000 chips.

Pedro Marques: K♠K♥10♠4♥ All in
Brandon Crawford: A♣10♣5♠3♠

Crawford flopped a straight but Marques was still drawing live with the best flush draw. The 10♥ bricked out on the river and Marques was eliminated in the opening level.

With three players seeing a board of A♥6♣5♠ Javier Francort checked from the big blind and Alex Livingston bet 125,000 from early position. Dominykas Karmazinas called from the hijack while Francort got out of the way.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Eric Wang raised to 85,000 from the hijack and was called by Ben Lamb in the cutoff and Isaac Kempton in the big blind.

"They're coming after me," Wang said.

The flop came 2♣A♣10♣ and it was checked to Lamb, who put 50,000 into the middle. Kempton quickly folded and Wang said, "Why you gotta do this to me?" before folding his hand as well.

"That may have been the easiest steal of Ben's life," Kempton added as Lamb collected the pot.

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

The cards were on their backs already when Arunas Sapitavicius was all-in and at risk against David Paredes.

On the 9♠6♥5♣ flop, Sapitavicius was already trailing with his A♠A♣4♦2♠ as Paredes' 6♠5♦4♥3♦ had flopped two pair with the straight draw on top. Sapitavicius picked up more outs with the K♠ turn but the 7♦ river only improved Paredes to a straight.

Andreas Zampas: J♥9♣4♥3♥

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

With 40 players remaining spread across five tables, some of the contenders in the mix are tanking on the pay jump bubble. Erik Seidel however wasted little time to raise the pot to 105,000 from an early position. Ken Fishman called from the big blind and checked the A♥Q♥J♠ flop. Seidel jammed for 240,000 - exactly the size of the pot - and Fishman folded.
