Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jamil Wakil raised to 125,000 first-to-act and Chris Brewer called from the big blind, leaving himself just 5,000 behind.

Brewer checked to Wakil on the Q♥K♥2♠ flop and he bet to put Brewer all in.

"I mean, I flopped almost dead," Brewer said before committing his last remaining chip into the middle.

"You're drawing live," Wakil replied.

Chris Brewer: 9♠3♠
Jamil Wakil: A♥9♣

Brewer was drawing live, albeit slim. The 4♠ turn gave Brewer additional outs to a flush, but the K♦ river bricked out and Brewer was eliminated in fourth place.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Chris Brewer raised to 80,000 from the button, Santhosh Suvarna three-bet to 250,000 from the big blind and Brewer called.

Suvarna slowed down on the K♥9♣9♦ flop, electing to check-call a bet of 100,000 from Brewer.

The J♣ turn checked through to the 2♠ on the river. Suvarna retook the lead with a bet of 225,000. Brewer made a frustrated call. Suvarna tabled K♦K♣ for a flopped full house. Brewer smirked as he mucked A♣A♠ face up.

Brewer went on to explain to Suvarna that the check on the flop set alarm bells off in his mind, correctly predicting he'd flopped a full house. Brewer told Suvarna that he had intentions to check back the river if given the chance.

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

Jamil Wakil opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and was called by Santhosh Suvarna on the button.

Wakil check-called a 75,000 bet from Suvarna on the 5♣4♦6♠ flop and then both players checked on the 10♦ turn.

The 7♠ river brought a four-liner on board and Wakil checked once more — prompting a 175,000 bet from Suvarna.

Wakil then check-raised to 420,000 and Suvarna let his hand go.

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jamil Wakil opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 160,000 by Santhosh Suvarna on the button. Action folded back around to Wakil, who called.

Both players checked on the 8♣3♦6♦ flop and A♥ turn, but Wakil announced a bet of 310,000 before placing it into the middle on the 5♠ river.

Suvarna called and Wakil tabled K♠10♠ for a bluff. Suvarna revealed 6♥6♣ for a set of sixes and dragged the pot.

Santhosh Suvarna raised to 60,000 from under the gun, finding Jamil Wakil, in the big blind, who called.

Both players checked the hand through as the full board read 4♠Q♥5♣9♣2♣. Wakil took the lead with a bet of 90,000 and Suvarna made a swift call. Wakil tabled A♦9♠ for second pair, good enough to take down this pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Viacheslav Buldygin shoved from the small blind and Jamil Wakil called all in for his last 360,000 from the big blind.

Viacheslav Buldygin: 7♠6♠
Jamil Wakil: A♠3♣

The J♣K♦10♠10♥8♥ runout kept Wakil ahead with his ace and he doubled up — leaving Buldygin with just 45,000.

On the very next hand, Samuel Ju opened to 60,000 first-to-act and Buldygin called all in on the button. Wakil called from the small blind and Santhosh Suvarna called from the big blind.

Action checked down on the 8♣7♠A♥ flop and 9♣ turn, but Wakil bet 100,000 after the 2♠ completed the board. Everyone else folded.

"Show the bluff," Buldygin joked as he tabled K♥7♥ for a pair of sevens.

Wakil had it beat with the A♣10♣ for a pair of aces and Buldygin was eliminated in fifth place.
