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

Aaron Barone was put to a tough decision on a board of 8♥8♠5♠2♥10♦ in a heads-up pot against Maksim Pisarenko.

With around 500,000 in the middle, Barone checked from the big blind and Pisarenko put out a stack of purple 100,000 chips to put Barone all in for his remaining 725,000. Barone gave it some thought and called.

Pisarenko showed J♦8♦ for trips, which was good to beat the K♦5♦ of Barone.

Barone is wearing a t-shirt highlighting more than $8,000 in Hendon Mob earnings, but he's since increased that to $14,065 this summer. With his $45,000 cash, the online pro will be up to $59,065.

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

The cards of Braxton Dunaway were just mucked that very moment when he failed to knock out table neighbour John Wasnock, who had apparently picked up pocket aces once again as Scott Margereson dubbed him the aces magnet in table chat.

Wasnock's double came for 555,000 post flop with A♥A♠ on a board of J♥6♥3♦5♣10♣ as the paint cards of Dunaway were not enough to deal the final blow.

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

According to Daniel Iachan, he had three-bet to 270,000 from the big blind before the flop and received two callers, including Lucas Bandeira in the cutoff. He then bet 170,000 on the 9♠K♥3♠ flop and both opponents called.

With nearly 1,000,000 already in the pot going to the 6♦ turn, Iachan bet another 465,000 and only Bandeira called. The river was the 6♣ and Iachan slowed down and checked.

Bandeira took a minute before checking back as Iachan showed K♠K♣ for a full house. "Nice check," he said to Bandeira while raking in the pot.

"He pays attention. When you saw that king on the flop, your mouth and eyes went wide open," Wagner Wysotchanski joked with Iachan after the hand.

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

Joseph Ozimok raised the button to 60,000 with David Gradic calling from the small blind, and Nishant Sharma defending out of the big blind.

After two checks on the 7♥A♣J♠ flop, Ozimok bet 55,000, and only Sharma called.

Sharma knuckled the action over to Ozimok on the 2♥ turn, and Ozimok bet 190,000. Sharma deliberated over what to do for a few moments, then went for the most aggressive option and check-jammed for roughly 880,000.

It was Ozimok's time to go into the tank for a while. After a few minutes, Ozimok decided to fold and surrender the pot to Sharma.
