Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Darrell Blodgett moved all in under the gun for 250,000, and the action folded back around to John Vandaele in the big blind, who instantly tossed in the call and had Blodgett covered.

Darrell Blodgett: A♣K♣ All in
John Vandaele: J♣J♦

The flop came 10♥8♣6♦ and was no help to Blodgett, nor was the 7♦ that came on the turn. The 8♠ paired the board on the river and sealed the deal for Blodgett, and he was sent to the rail.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action is picked up with the flop reading 3♣9♦10♦. Poseidon Ho bet 125,000, Ciaran McCullagh called.

The turn fell 4♥ and Ho fired again, this time all in with his remaining 320,000 into a hefty pot with 435,000 chips.

McCullagh considered the call, which would have put all of his 265,000 chips at risk, for some time before deciding to fold.
