Paul Doubles; Belea Adds Chips
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Abhishek Paul was all in and at risk preflop for 300,000 with A♦A♣ and Jaehoon Baek aimed to score the knockout holding 7♦7♠. There was no upset on the A♥Q♠8♠10♦J♥ runout as Paul doubled with a set of aces.
One table over, Razvan Belea defended against Stefan Lehner out of the big blind and check-raised the Q♥7♠6♦ flop from 90,000 to 250,000 for Lehner to call. Belea bet the 6♣ turn for 325,000 and Lehner folded.
On the same table shortly after, Diego Emperador lost the remainder of his short stack to bring the field down to the last 28 hopefuls.
