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

A completed board of A♣K♠8♣10♦Q♠ was spread across the felt with around 600,000 in the middle. Kenny Hallaert and Farid Jattin were heads-up in the blinds and Hallaert led out with a bet of 530,000.

Jattin gave it some thought for a minute before pushing out a raise to 1,100,000. Hallaert rechecked his cards and then flicked in a chip to call. Jattin sent his cards into the muck and Hallaert collected the pot without having to show his cards.

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

Fraser MacIntyre raised to 105,000 from the cutoff, and Rahul Deevara called from the button. Ryan Otto squeezed all in for 415,000, which was only called by MacIntyre.

Ryan Otto:A♠2♥ All in
Fraser MacIntyre: A♣8♠

MacIntyre had the better ace and just had to fade a deuce or some sort of chop to send Otto home. The board ran out Q♣5♣10♣4♦9♣ and MacIntyre improved to a flush to eliminate Otto.

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

Jonathan Azoulay made it 100,000 to go from middle position with K♠Q♥ and David Swift called in the small blind holding A♦8♦. Will Kassouf was in the big blind and came along with 7♣4♥.

Swift made trips on the 5♦A♥A♠ flop, but it was Azoulay who stayed aggressive as he bet 225,000 once it checked to him. Swift called and Kassouf let it go.

A 7♥ dropped on the turn and again Swift continued to play it slow with a check. Azoulay reached for chips and announced a bet of 450,000 before moving it into the pot, then Swift called.

The 3♠ completed the runout and Swift decided to lead with a bet of 1,000,000. Azoulay wasted no time in mucking, and Swift took the pot.

Tim Baker

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

Jordan Dumas moved all in from early position for 590,000 and was called by Amit Sharma from the button.

Jordan Dumas: A♥Q♥ All in
Amit Sharma: A♠K♠

Dumas got up out of his chair as he knew he was likely to be eliminated very shortly.

The dealer burned a card, then revealed the K♥ in the window, giving Sharma top pair. However, it was quickly followed by the 7♥10♥ to give Dumas the nut flush. The 4♦ turn and J♠ river didn't change anything, which meant Dumas sat down and stacked his newly acquired stack.

David Salituro

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

Kenny Hallaert raised to 110,000 in early position, Farid Jattin three-bet to 350,000 in middle position, and Hallaert called.

The flop came 10♦4♣J♥ and Jattin bet 440,000. Hallaert called and they both checked on the 2♣ turn.

The 10♣ river was also checked down and Hallaert showed A♠Q♣ to win the pot with ace-high.

At the same time at another table, Sergio Veloso had bet 200,000 from the hijack on a flop of A♠2♦7♠ and Hartt Stearns called in the small blind. Daniele Primerano then raised to 660,000 in middle position and both opponents called.

Action checked to Veloso on the 4♠ turn and he bet 1,300,000. Stearns quickly folded, but Primerano took more than five minutes until announcing a fold, leaving it to the dealer to retrieve his cards while Veloso took in the pot.

Hynam Has a Big Blind Special

Christian Zetzsche

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

The action folded all the way to Martin Gerloff in the small blind and me moved forward his entire stack which appeared to be more than 1.6 million in chips. Mitchell Hynam glanced at his cards and then instantly called.

Once the cards of Hynam were revealed, Gerloff sunk back into his chair and gasped an "are you f*ckin kidding me?"

Martin Gerloff: A♣J♥ All in
Mitchell Hynam: A♦A♥

The Q♦5♣2♥ flop left Gerloff with some runner-runner equity but that all vanished with the Q♣ turn to make the 6♣ river a formality.
