Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alex Lynskey has taken full advantage of the money bubble situation, raising almost every hand at his table. After raising to 16,000 and picking up the blinds and ante for two straight hands, he finally found some resistance from William Brindise in the big blind, who just called.

The flop came A♠7♣3♠ and Brindise checked to Lynskey, who flicked in a continuation bet. That was enough for Brindise, who let his hand go, and Lynskey raked in another pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ignas Jasinevicius raised to 16,000 in early position before Giorgiy Skhulukhiya moved all in from middle position. It took the rest of the table nearly five minutes to fold around as the clock had to be called on two different players. Action eventually got back to Jasinevicius, and he snap-called for around 160,000.

Ignas Jasinevicius: Q♥Q♠ All in
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♦J♠

Jasinevicius was ahead with his queens until the flop brought A♣6♠8♥ to give Skhulukhiya top pair. The rest of the board came 5♣7♣ and Jasinevicius wished the rest of the table good luck before heading off to the exit.
