Level 38
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Hiep Ninh limped in from under the gun, Georgios Tsouloftas completed the small blind, and Mark Johnston checked in the big blind.
The flop fanned out 4♥A♦3♦ and Tsouloftas led out for 1,000,000. Johnston quickly folded, but Ninh raised to 3,000,000. Tsouloftas then jammed all in for 7,200,000 and Ninh quickly made the call.
Georgios Tsouloftas: 6♦5♠
Hiep Ninh: A♣K♠
Tsouloftas' straight draw was up against Ninh's top pair. Tsouloftas gained some outs when he paired on the 6♣ turn, but the K♦ river brought Ninh two pair to secure the elimination.

Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Georgios Tsouloftas limped in from the small blind with J♣4♣ and Mark Johnston checked 10♣7♠ in the big blind.
Tsouloftas then made the minimum bet of 600,000 on the 7♥9♠4♥ flop and received a call from Johnston. Tsouloftas sized up to 1,000,000 on the 9♦ turn, and yet again Johnston called.
Tsouloftas went back to a min-bet on the K♥ river, and Johnston flicked in the 600,000 chips without too much thought. He tabled his pair of sevens for the winning hand as Tsouloftas' cards once again hit the muck.

Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Georgios Tsouloftas raised his button to 1,200,000 with 9♥4♥ and Hiep Ninh called in the big blind with A♣10♠. Tsoulaftas continued for 800,000 on the 4♣Q♣7♥ flop and Ninh check-called.
The turn of 10♣ was knuckled down and so was the J♣ river. Ninh turned over his nut flush to rake in the pot, which elicited a smile from his opponent.
