Talvitie showed Kx2x for just king-high as Refaelowitz turned over 7♦6♦ to double up with sixes full of sevens.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ivan Luca opened in middle position to 60,000 and got called by Kevin Martin in the cutoff, Kelvin Kerber on the button, and Timothy Adams in the small blind.

The A♥K♦8♥ flop landed and action checked to Luca who continued for 65,000. Only Martin and Adams called.

The 10♥ rolled off on the turn and after a minute in the tank Adams went with a donk-lead of 155,000. Only Luca called.

The blank 4♦ landed on the river and after about 30-seconds in the tank Adams moved all in covering Luca. He called pretty quickly and got the bad news.

Adams tabled 6♥3♥ for a fast played flush and Luca tabled Q♥J♠ for Broadway with the heart blocker. Luca hit the rail after a fairly cold deck.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded all the way to Lewis Spencer in the small blind who opened to 85,000 and got a call from Goran Mandic in the big blind.

The 6♦8♠A♥ flop landed and Spencer continued for 50,000. Mandic called and the K♥ rolled off on the turn.

Spencer sat in the tank for a moment and then put out another bet of 110,000. Mandic called again.

The A♠ hit the river and after a moment of thought, Spencer moved all in. Mandic snap-called having Spencer covered by a few blinds.

Spencer tabled K♠K♣ for a boat but Mandic tabled a perfectly slow-played A♦A♣ for quads to send Spencer and his scarf to the payout line.
