Amin Chehade raised from under the gun to 175,000, with Harry Rubin calling in early position. Daniel Chan came along in the big blind, and checked the 4410 flop.

Chehade and Rubin also declined to bet, and the Q turn hit the table. Chan and Chehade checked once more, and Rubin fired 125,000 into the middle.

Chan let his hand go, while Chehade called to the 5 river. Both players checked it down, and Chehade tabled AA107 for two pair to take the pot.

Shortly after, Rubin took the last of Anson Tsang's stack to recover some lost chips.

Daniel Chan: AQJ10

Perati just needed to fade some clubs and he did as the board ran out Q on the turn and the J on the river to send Perati the big pot.

Christopher Hannel raised to 150,000 from under the gun, and Justin Schoff moved all in for 375,000 in middle position. Hannel took some time before making the call, and the cards were turned up.

Justin Schoff: QQJ3 All in
Christopher Hannel: AKJ4

Schoff's queen could not hold on the J3K77 runout, but he had a small reason to celebrated after making the latest pay jump in 47th position.

Komem Flops a Boat

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

Paulo Villena Gini raised to 175,000 from the small blind. Dan Komem, in the big blind with just 200,000 behind, had the clock called on him after tanking for an extended period while a pay jump loomed. As the floor counted down to three, he finally made the call.

Gini put Komem all in for 30,000 when the flop came A66, and Komem beat him into the pot laughing.

Dan Komem: AAK3 All in
Paulo Villena Gini: QJ105

Not even a sweat insight for Gini as the board ran out 2 on the turn and the K on the river.

Nixon Diaz led out for 75,000 from the small blind on the KQ4 flop, and James Sedlacek made the call in the big blind. Another bet from Diaz followed the 2 turn, this time for 125,000.

Sedlacek called again, and Diaz tossed out a smaller bet of 50,000 on the 8 river. Sedlacek called, and Diaz revealed A763 for a flush. That was good to claim the pot, as Sedlacek mucked.
