Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Tao Chu raised from the hijack to 800,000, and only Gawain Visagie made the call, defending his big blind.

Chu continued for 750,000 on the J♦K♦9♣ flop, but met resistance in the form of a check-raise to 1,650,000 from Visagie. Chu made the call, and the players moved on to the turn.

Visagie committed his remaining 1,200,000 on the A♣ turn, and, after getting a count of the stack, Chu made the call.

Gawain Visagie: Q♥10♣ All in
Tao Chu: A♠Q♠

Visagie had flopped Broadway, and when the river 3♠ couldn't help Chu to a chopped pot, the dealer pushed the huge pot to Visagie, who had already gone to the rail to celebrate with a friend.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gawain Visagie	7,900,000 5,425,000	5,425,000
Tao Chu	6,100,000 3,750,000	3,750,000

Stewart Morrison

Level 33 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Leah Lusk opened to 800,000 from middle position and only Antonio Guerrero called, defending his big blind.

When Guerrero checked the 7♠3♥3♠ flop, Lusk wasted little time in putting out another bet of 3,100,000.

Guerrero asked Lusk if she had ace-king, trying to get a read on his opponent's hand strength.

A moment or two passed before Guerrero decided to find a better spot, returning his cards to the dealer, who, in turn, pushed the pot to Lusk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Leah Lusk	11,125,000 3,300,000	3,300,000
Antonio Guerrero	3,625,000 600,000	600,000
