Level 20 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Brandon Wilson raised to 475,000 in the small blind and Anatoly Zlotnikov called in the big blind.

The flop came 10♠K♥Q♥, Wilson continued with a bet of 500,000, and Zlotnikov made the call.

The turn fell the Q♣ and Wilson bet 500,000 again, which Zlotnikov called.

On the 2♣ river, Wilson slid out a bet of about 1,200,000 and Zlotnikov thought for a brief moment before making the call.

Wilson flashed A♦K♦ but Zlotnikov turned over Q♦4♣ for trip queens to claim the pot.

Jans Arends opened to 450,000 in middle position, and faced a three-bet to 1,500,000 from Anatoly Zlotnikov on the button. Arends responded by moving all in for 2,670,000, and Zlotnikov called.

Jans Arends: J♥J♦ All in
Anatoly Zlotnikov: A♥J♠

Arends retained his lead on the 6♥2♣10♦ flop, but the A♦ turn had him fighting for survival. He was unable to find his one available out on the 3♣ river, and was eliminated in eighth place.

Level 20 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Brian Breck opened to 450,000 from early position, which Chris Brewer and Pieter Aerts called from the cutoff and big blind.

Aerts opted to lead out on the Q♠J♠10♦ flop, betting 200,000, roughly half of his stack. Breck responded with a raise to 600,000, which saw Brewer fold, and Aerts put the rest of his stack into the middle.

Pieter Aerts: 7♠5♠ All in
Brian Breck: K♣9♣

It was a flush draw versus a flopped straight, with Aerts needing to find a spade to survive.

The 2♦ turn and 9♥ river offered no help, though, eliminating him in ninth place.

Zlotnikov continued to bet on the 10♣ river, putting 600,000 into the middle. Brewer took some time to decide, but did opt to call.

When Zlotnikov tabled K♦Q♦, Brewer snap-mucked his hand.
