Level 25 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Xiao Probst moved all in preflop and was called by Surrinder Ahluwalia and Sung Keem to put her at risk.

On the flop 2♠J♣Q♦, Ahluwalia checked to Keem, who bet 150,000 into the side pot, and Ahluwalia called.

The turn was the 7♦ and Ahluwalia check-called another bet from Keem, this time for 400,000.

On the river 9♥, Ahluwalia checked once more, Keem moved all in, and Ahluwalia snap-called.

"F*ck," Keem groaned and flipped over Q♠J♦, as he didn't even have to see it to know he was beaten. Sure enough, Ahluwalia flipped over K♦10♥ for a rivered straight and he scooped the whole pot, as Probst tabled A♠10♣ for just ace-high.

Level 24 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The complete action was missed on the hand, but it was relayed after the fact:

Short-stacked Xiao Probst moved all in preflop and then Will Leffingwell shoved over the top for a lot more, and Jonathan Park called it off to put him at risk in a massive side pot.

Xiao Probst: AxQx
Will Leffingwell: 8x8x
Jonathan Park: AxQx

Leffingwell was in a great spot to become the chipleader as his opponents had each other's outs, but the flop still came Qx10x4x to give his opponents a pair of queens. The runout failed to help Leffingwell and he was eliminated in 16th place.

Leffingwell cashed for $2,300 and also one of the lucky players that pulled a $5,000 bounty.

Level 21 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Will Leffingwell opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was called by Lam Tran on the button and David Shaw in the big blind.

The flop came out 3♥J♥Q♦ and action checked to Tran who bet 160,000, which produced a fold from Shaw. Leffingwell then check-raised to 360,000 and Tran called to see the 4♠ on the turn.

Leffingwell fired for 450,000 and after some thought, Tran moved all in for around 1,100,000, which Leffingwell snap-called to put him at risk.

Lam Tran: A♥Q♠
Will Leffingwell: A♥Q♠

Only an ace could save Tran, but the river was the 10♥ and he headed to the payout desk while Leffingwell Scooped the huge pot to take the chip lead. He then walked up and drew a $5,000 bounty, no big deal.
