Smith's Stack Continues to Grow

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

Jason Wheeler opened to 160,000, leaving a single 25,000 chip behind. Mitchell Smith called next to act, and Philip Mauer did the same from the big blind.

On a flop of 644 Smith placed a min-bet of 50,000 when checked to. Mauer folded and Wheeler called all in.

Jason Wheeler: 73 All in
Mitchell Smith: Q9

Wheeler couldn't make a pair or a straight on the 69 runout, giving Smith an even larger chip lead over the table.

Curry picked up a flush draw on the flop, but it didn't get there, as Spear's aces survived the full board of 9J52Q.

After Spear claimed his bounty, the gold chest appeared on the screen, showing his name, and he drew a $25,000 prize.

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

There was roughly 1,800,000 in the pot on 8J10A3.

Steven Stillman announced all in for 1,800,000, Sean Lee went deep into the tank, and with around 1,000,000 chips himself made the call.

Lee tabled JJ for a set of jacks but could not beat the straight of Stillman, who tabled KQ.

Aces Cracked Cruelly

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

Matthew Glantz open-shoved from middle position for 230,000. Lech Boltryk reshoved his 480,000 from the button, leaving big blind Yer Vang in the tank. Eventually, he announced, "Let's gamble," and put in the call.

Matthew Glantz: K10 All in
Lech Boltryk: AA All in
Yer Vang: J3

The J76 flop was already sweatier than Boltryk's aces would've liked, with the 9 turn even worsening his equity. The 3 river improved Vang to two pair, sealed a double knockout for Vang, and sent both Glantz and Boltryk packing.

Rohit Bhandari limped in from the cutoff before Jason Terry shoved his remaining 490,000 from the small blind. Lukas Hafner reshoved 1,000,000 from the big, and Bhandari called all-in, gunning for Terry's bounty.

Jason Terry: A5 All in
Rohit Bhandari: QQ All in
Lukas Hafner: Q10

The 68J5A runout had Terry out of his seat and running, as his rivered two pair kept him alive, with Bhandari taking down the side pot.
