Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Enrico Camosci raised to 50,000 from early position and Sirzat Hissou shoved for 235,000 from the small blind. Jon Kyte then shoved himself for roughly 900,000 from the big blind. Camosci folded and the cards were revealed.

Sirzat Hissou: A♠10♠ All in
Jon Kyte: A♥Q♠

The runout of K♣2♦6♦5♠2♣ didn't improve either player, which meant Kyte's ace-queen high would win the pot, and Hissou was sent to the rail

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daehyung Lee shoved for 175,000 under the gun with Jesse Lonis calling from the cutoff and Tom-Aksel Bedell calling from the button.

Lonis bet 125,000 on the A♠3♠9♣ flop and Bedell called.

Lonis bet again for 225,000 on the 7♠ turn and this time Bedell folded. Lee and Lonis' cards were turned over with Lee at risk.

Daehyung Lee: K♥Q♦ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♥K♠

Lee was drawing dead with king-high to the top pair of Lonis, as an inconsequential 5♠ hit the river, improving Lonis to a flush and sending Lee out the door.

In a preflop confrontation Calvin Anderson was all in from the hijack for around 350,000 and up against Jesse Lonis who covered him from the small blind.

Jesse Lonis: 7♣7♥

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The flop was showing 7♥6♥7♦ and Piero Alioto was all-in and at risk against Enrico Camosci.

Piero Alioto: J♥J♠ All in
Enrico Camosci: A♥8♥

Alioto was ahead with the jacks, but Camosci had a lot of outs to knock him out. The 8♠ turn and 7♠ river did improve Camosci to a full house, but it was Alioto's higher full house that took down the pot.

Kamal Bejjani: 10♠7♥ All in

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 8♣2♦7♥K♣2♣ and a sizable pot of around 725,000 already in the middle, Yves Bianchetti shoved from under the gun, covering Rodrigo Araujo who was seated directly to his left with 440,000 behind. Araujo snap-called.

Bianchetti had rivered the nut-flush with A♣3♣, but Araujo had flopped a set with 8♦8♠ and filled up on the river to score a massive double-up through Bianchetti.

Tim Baker

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Thomas Eychenne raised to 50,000 from the button, and Joshua Hopkins defended out of the big blind.

Hopkins checked the 10♦8♣10♠ flop, and Eychenne bet 25,000. This was met by a check-raise to 90,000 from Hopkins. After a few moments, Eychenne called.

The action checked through on the 5♠ turn for the Q♠ to hit the river. Hopkins checked and faced a bet of 200,000 from Eychenne. Hopkins thought about it briefly but ultimately settled on a call.

Eychenne flipped over A♠9x for just ace-high, as Hopkins took down the pot with Q♥9♦ for a rivered pair of queens.
