Level 21 : 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Sean Rafael raised the pot to 850,000 on the button and Isaac Haxton called in the big blind, while Rafael already cut out his remaining chips and mentioned he had 1,625,000 behind. On the A♥2♠2♣ flop, Haxton check-called for 250,000 and they checked the 5♥ on the turn.

Haxton then bet the 7♥ river for 2,000,000 and Rafael called after a few seconds of consideration.

Haxton announced a straight and revealed the Q♠10♦4♣3♦ for the wheel. Rafael briefly exposed his A♠K♣J♠10x before they were mucked instantly and then headed to the rail. His seventh place comes with $419,563 as consolation, while Haxton moved back to the top spot.

Level 21 : 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Lautaro Guerra raised the pot to 850,000 from under the gun and scooped the blinds, Alex Foxen then did so from the button.

Shaun Deeb made it 500,000 to go from an early position thereafter and Phil Ivey three-bet the pot to 1,850,000 in the next seat. It folded back to Deeb and he called, then checked the 8♦5♥4♣ flop. Ivey moved all-in for 2,400,000 and Deeb folded.

Foxen then potted to 850,000 once more and Arthur Morris came along from the big blind, putting on the hood while wearing shades already. The K♠8♥4♣ flop saw Morris with the check, Foxen continued for 525,000 and Morris called. Both checked the 5♥ turn and Morris led the 3♣ on the river for 2,400,000.

Foxen called without using a time bank but folded when he was shown the Q♦Q♣7♣6♦ for the nut straight by Morris.

Level 21 : 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised the button to 500,000 and only Alex Foxen called from the big blind.

Both players checked to the river on a runout of K♣7♦10♦Q♣5♣ before Foxen bet 475,000. Deeb thought for a while and then raised to 2,550,000. Foxen burned through a time bank before flicking in the call.

Deeb showd a bluff with A♣9♥5♥Xx, and lost the pot to Foxen's A♥6♥5♦5♠ for just a rivered set of fives.

Level 21 : 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

In the first hand of the final day, Arthur Morris limped in from the small blind and Shaun Deeb checked to the A♦10♠6♠ flop. Morris had not bet yet and was in the motion of doing so when Deeb had already folded.

Deeb then limped the next small blind and Phil Ivey checked his option from the big blind. Deeb check-called the Q♠J♦6♠ flop for 500,000 and led the A♣ turn for 1,300,000, which Ivey called.

On the 10♣ river, Deeb bet another 2,050,000 with four to a straight now on the board. Ivey used three time bank extensions before tossing in a single chip for a call but couldn't beat the K♠K♣Q♣9♦ for broadway by Deeb.
