The blinds took a flop after a raise preflop by Tomas Ribeiro, and was called by Lautaro Guerra.

Ribeiro bet 450,000 on the Q♥9♠K♥ flop and was called by Guerra.

The 4♥ turn led to another bet from Ribeiro to the tune of 650,000. Guerra called again to take them to a river.

The 7♠ river saw Ribeiro jam and was quickly called by Guerra.

Guerra showed A♥9♥8♦2♥ for the nut flush. Ribeiro tossed his cards into the muck as he exited in 9th place. Ribeiro earned $277,830 for his finish.

Alex Foxen made it 700,000 to go from under the gun before Maxi Lehmanski jammed for around 940,000 from the cutoff. Aaron Katz moved in over the top for around 1,300,000 from the big blind, and Foxen called to put both players at risk.

Maxi Lehmanski: A♠Q♠Q♥4♣ All in
Aaron Katz: K♦K♥Q♣6♣ All in
Alex Foxen: J♣J♠7♠3♣

Foxen would have a huge chip lead if he could come from behind to beat both players. The 3♦5♣7♣ flop put Foxen in the lead with two pair. The 3♠ turn improved Foxen to a full house, and the 9♠ river cemented Lehmanski's and Katz's elimination.

Alex Foxen raised to 700,000 and then folded when Sean Rafael put up resistance with a pot-sized reraise.

That didn't slow down as he got involved right away in the next hand again with a raise to 500,000, with Shaun Deeb coming along out of the big blind.

On the A♠J♦8♥ flop, Deeb checked and Foxen bet 520,000 into 1,300,000. Deeb check-raised to 1,800,000 and was called by Foxen who then quickly called the shove by Deeb on the 7♦ turn.

Shaun Deeb: K♣10♦8♣8♦ All in
Alex Foxen: 10♣9♥9♠8♠

Foxen was on the verge to further increase his lead while Deeb murmured "what are you doing man,” though it was unclear who that message was aimed at.

The river was the 6♦ and Deeb improved to a flush to survive and double for 3,990,000.

Lautaro Guerra made it 600,000 under the gun with Isaac Haxton calling from the cutoff. Nick Schulman called for his last 335,000 on the button, and Tomas Ribeiro also called from the big blind.

With Schulman all in, the four players saw the flop come out 8♠7♥5♥. Ribeiro and Guerra checked before Haxton bet the pot for 2,435,000. Ribeiro instantly folded, but Guerra went into the tank. After burning through a time extension, Guerra jammed for Haxton's 4,305,000 total. Haxton quickly called.

Nick Schulman: A♣K♥9♣4♣ All in
Isaac Haxton: 10♦9♥8♦8♣ All in
Lautaro Guerra: A♥10♣5♦4♥

Guerra held a flush draw, Haxton had top set and a straight draw, and Schulman needed running cards to survive.

The rest of the board came K♠6♠, which improved Haxton to a ten-high straight. Schulman was out in 12th, and Haxton more than doubled up.

Level 20 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

In a three-way limped pot, the flop showed J♣3♣3♥ and Alex Foxen bet 240,000 in the small blind. Ben Lamb in the big blind raised to 680,000 and Aaron Katz on the button folded while Foxen called. The 2♠ turn was checked and Foxen then used one time bank on the 3♦ river before he declared a pot-sized bet.

Lamb grabbed Foxen's cards and mixed them with his before sending them straight into the muck.

Sam Soverel had freshly stacked his chips after a double-up through Ben Lamb when he got involved in a pot against Alex Foxen that proved to be the end of his tournament run.

Soverel limped from the hijack before Aaron Katz did the same from the cutoff. Foxen chose to raise it to 825,000 on the button, which garnered a call from Soverel and a fold from Katz.

The flop fanned out 2♥2♥J♣, which led to a check from Soverel. Foxen bet 545,000, and Soverel came along with a call.

Soverel checked again on the 5♦ turn. Foxen fired 640,000 this time, and Soverel called.

The 9♣ river rolled over before Soverel checked. Foxen bet 2,000,000, which was enough to put Soverel all in. Soverel gave it some thought before he threw in his chips for a call.

Foxen showed A♥A♣K♦10♦, which was enough to topple Soverel's K♠K♥9♦5♠ to send him out in 13th place. Soverel earned $209,457 for his efforts.

Arthur Morris raised the pot to 525,000 on the button and Nick Schulman defended out of the big blind to see a flop of 10♣9♦5♦. Schulman asked for the size of the pot, which was 1,275,000, and checked before Morris asked for Schulman's stack, who instantly replied with 1,685,000.

The check behind by Morris led to the 7♣ turn on which Schulman bet the pot. Morris called after brief consideration and Schulman then checked the 9♠ on the river. Morris moved all in thereafter and Schulman mulled it over for a short while before he folded with a sigh.

Morris was visibly relieved and then tossed his cards on the table, exposing the K♣8♣7♦4♥ after which he said "it might have been the best hand.”

Schulman spoke with Phil Ivey after the hand and referred to a "shaky all-in" by Morris, though he still folded and now has the far shortest stack in the field.

Isaac Haxton limped in and Tomas Ribeiro did so from the small blind, Lautaro Guerra in the big blind checked. They all checked the 8♠5♠3♠ on the flop and Ribeiro bet the 7♥ turn for 300,000, both opponents called.

On the 3♥ river, Ribeiro checked and Guerra now bet 750,000. Haxton called after using a time bank and that forced out Ribeiro.

Guerra tabled the 9♥6♥3♣3♦ and that won the pot.

Haxton raised the pot in the next hand to claim the blinds and jokingly mentioned "No more limping, I clearly fucked that shit up.”
