Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Elliot Smith raised it up to 60,000 in early position and it was folded around to Takuya Yamashita in the small blind, who made it 170,000 to go. It was folded back to Elliot Smith who made the call.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Takuya Yamashita bet out 150,000. Elliot Smith popped into the tank for a visit before making the call.

The turn card was the {10-Spades} and Takuya Yamashita bet out 310,000. Elliot Smith returned to the warmth of the tank for a long time before finally folding.

Living Up To Its Name

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

The action on this table has "frozen" in the last half an hour, with not much happening. With nearly $100,000 up top, the players have really buckled down at the opportunity to notch a big score.

Takuya Yamashita made it 60,000 and Dion Mavrangelos defended his big blind.

The flop fell {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Mavrangelos checked. Yamashita led out for 75,000 and Mavrangelos shoved in for 734,000 total.

Four minutes later, Yamashita folded. Losing 135,000 in the hand, Yamashita has now fallen out of the top spot on the counts and Elliot Smith has moved in.

Sarah Bilney came in with a raise to 50,000 and Elliot Smith called.

Wing Sang Lee jammed for 350,000 from the small blind and only Smith called.

Lee was leading with the {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} over Smith's {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}, and held that lead through a {9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades} board to the turn.

However, as fate would have it, the river delivered the {7-Diamonds} to Smith, making him a set of sevens and sending Lee to the rail seventh.

Dion Mavrangelos raised to 42,000 under-the-gun and Graham Jamieson made the call from the button.

Sarah Bilney went into the tank for a while before raising to 160,000. Elliot Smith folded the small blind and Wing Sang Lee went into the tank also. He stayed in the tank for quite some time before sliding out two stacks of 5k chips and 2x25k chips on top of his blind to make it 274,000.

Mavrangelos and Jamieson quickly folded, and Bilney went back into the tank. After a while, she announced all-in and Lee almost beat her into the pot with his call.

Sarah Bilney: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Wing Sang Lee: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} giving Bilney trip Queens. He would have to dodge another King, and when the turn and river fell {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, she was able to double up to over a million in chips.

Slow Play Sevens

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

In a hand that took over ten minutes to play, Takuya Yamashita played bluff catcher yet again.

He check-called a 125,000-chip Sarah Bilney bet on the river of a {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} board with about 300,000 in the middle and was right. His {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} beat Bilney's {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.
