Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Matthew Sabia on the button, and he raised to 90,000, before the small blind Sarah Wasch three-bet to 300,000. The big blind folded, and Sabia made the call.

The flop came 5♦10♥10♦ and Sabia called a bet of 175,000 from Wasch.

After the Q♣ on the turn, Sabia called another bet from Wasch, this time for 450,000.

Wasch checked to Sabia after the river brought the 4♣, and he bet out 730,000, leaving just 5,000 chips behind. Wasch thought over her decision before finding a fold, giving Sabia the massive pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alexander Wiggins opened to 80,000 from under the gun, and it folded to the small blind Bin Weng, who three-bet all in for 600,000. After the big blind folded, Wiggins sat in the tank, making a decision for the majority of his chips, but eventually found the call to put Weng at risk.

Bin Weng: A♦2♦ All in
Alexander Wiggins: A♠J♠

As soon as Wiggins made the call, Weng said "I didn't see your open, I thought it was blind versus blind". It was an unfortunate mistake for Weng, who was dominated by the bigger ace of Wiggins. When the board ran out 5♣J♦8♣A♥K♥ Wiggins improved to two pair, aces and jacks and eliminated Weng in 8th place.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Matthew Sabia: K♦K♣ All in
Charles Bryant: 10♦10♣
