Adam Lamers

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Rahul Deevara opened to 105,000 in early position and Bradley Jansen three-bet to 375,000 on his left. The action folded back to Deevara who four-bet to 780,000. Jansen then went into the tank for at least four minutes, waiting for the pay jump, and then finally five-bet shoved all in for 1,785,000. Deevara quickly called and the cards were face up.

Bradley Jansen: J♠J♣ All in
Rahul Deevara: A♣K♥

"Gotta win a flip," Jansen said as he rose from his seat to get a better view of the board. The board ran out 5♠5♥5♦3♦10♠ and Jansen clapped his hands as held for a double-up and got the next ladder.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Small blind Benjamin Winsor put Hans Bosman in the big blind all-in for 450,000, and the Dutchman quickly called off for his tournament life.

Hans Bosman: A♥Q♠ All in
Benjamin Winsor: 2♠2♣

Winsor's ducks remained ahead on the 10♠3♦6♦ flop and 10♥ turn, but the 3♣ river double-paired the board to nullify Winsor's underpair and ship the pot to Bosman.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Julien Mariani raised to 100,000 under the gun and Mitchell Hynam three-bet to 300,000 in middle position. Chad Power in the big blind didn't see Hynam's reraise and just tossed in an additional 50,000 to call Mariani's raise. The floor was called over, and it was ruled Power had to leave the 100,000 in the pot but get the option to fold. He got out of the way, while Mariani called.

Hynam bet 200,000 on the 7♣4♥7♠ flop and Mariani called. They then checked down the A♠ turn and 4♦ river, and Hynam showed K♣K♦ to win the pot.
