Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

For three consecutive hands, Ehsan Amiri would raise, three-bet and four-bet and get no callers. Finally, on the fourth hand, in late position, Amiri min-raised and got a caller in Bahar Musa on the button.

Heads-up, the flop came 5♣3♦K♣ and Amiri continued with 120,000. Musa called. On the turn 4♣, Amiri slowed down a bit and checked. Musa checked after.

On the river 4♠, Amiri resumed aggression with 300,000. Musa looked at Amiri, visibly in deep thought. He finally conceded his hand and the pot to Amiri.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Simon Wilson opened to 150,000 and Joaquin Pacha called on the button before Igor Picone decided to push in the big blind for 335,000, keeping only 5,000 behind. Wilson tanked and raised it to 660,000. Pacha called to create a side pot and Picone sent his last chip in the middle.

The flop came 7♥5♥10♠ and Wilson announced a bet of 700,000. It was enough for Pacha who folded:

Igor Picone: 4♠4♣ All in
Simon Wilson: K♦K♠

Wilson improved even more his hand as the K♥ hit the turn and Picone officialy busted after the 6♥ completed the board.
