Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rokas Asipauskas raised to 120,000 from early position, and when it folded to Lei Yu in the small blind, he three-bet all in for 420,000. After the big blind folded, Asipauskas made the call to put Yu at risk.
Lei Yu: 9♥9♦ 
Rokas Asipauskas: A♦10♣
It was a flip for Yu's tournament life, and when the board ran out 2♣K♠J♥6♣7♠ the pocket nines of Yu remained best, to give him the double up.
The very next hand, Archibald Seaton raised from under the gun to 120,000 and once it folded to Yu on the button, he three-bet all in for 960,000. Then the small blind Vlad Darie made the call, which got Seaton to fold, leaving the players heads up, with Yu at risk.
Lei Yu: Q♥Q♦
Vlad Darie: 7♥7♦
Yu had the best of it with his pocket queens, and after the board ran out 10♣6♠3♣A♠5♣ his pocket queens were still best, securing two double ups on back-to-back hands.

Bruno Volkmann raised to 120,000 from middle position and Archibald Seaton defended the big blind to see a flop of 4♣5♣A♣.
Seaton check-called a bet of 80,000 and then both players checked the 6♠ turn.
When the 8♣ river put four clubs on the board, Seaton bet 85,000 only to have Volkmann raise to 300,000.
Seaton paused for a moment before calling and Volkmann tabled the A♠9♣ for a flush. It wasn't quite good enough though as Seaton rolled over the A♦10♣ for a flush that was one pip higher.

Vlad Darie opened the action with a raise to 120,000 from the cutoff and once it folded to Archibald Seaton in the small blind, he three-bet all in for 1,615,000. Then the big blind Rokas Asipauskas made the call for his stack of 565,000. Darie mucked his hand, leaving the players heads up, with Asipauskas at risk.
Rokas Asipauskas: K♦K♣
Archibald Seaton: 10♥10♦
Asipauskas woke up with kings in the big blind, in a great position to double up. Once the board ran out K♥3♣9♥10♠Q♦ he did just that, as both players made a set, but the set of kings gave Asipauskas the double up.

Ezequiel Kleinman raised to 160,000 from middle position and Fahredin Mustafov defended the big blind to see a flop of Q♦6♣A♦.
The latter checked and the former continued for 80,000. Mustafov then check-raised to 150,000 and proceeded to call off for 385,000 total after Kleinman moved all in.
Fahredin Mustafov: 6♦7♦
Ezequiel Kleinman: A♠7♠
Kleinman was ahead with top pair but Mustafov had a pair and flush draw. The K♦ turn completed said flush draw and Mustafov shipped the double after the meaningless 6♥ was run out on the river.
