The action folded to Chris Brewer in the small blind and it didn't take long for him to get all of his 44,500 chips in the middle against Stephen Chidwick in the big blind.

Chris Brewer: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} put Brewer well out front with a pair of nines. The {5-Hearts} on the turn gave Chidwick some hope but the {9-Hearts} on the river secured the double for Brewer.

Mokri Flips Better than Mateos

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and Stephen Chidwick flat-called on the button. Kayhan Mokri three-bet to 17,500 from the small blind and Mateos responded with a four-bet shove for 90,000. Chidwick folded and Mokri stuck in the chips, just covering Mateos.

Adrian Mateos: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Kayhan Mokri: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Mateos picked up a straight draw to go with his two over cards. However, the {5-Clubs} and {7-Spades} runout was no help and Mateos was forced to the rail.
