Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Igor Pihela opened to 60,000 from middle position and Eelis Parssinen called in the hijack.

On the 7♥7♦5♥ flop, Pihela led for 80,000 and Parssinen quickly called.

The turn was the 2♠. Pihela tossed out a bet of 100,000 and Parssinen called once again.

On the A♠ river, Pihela announced a bet of 70,000. Parssinen was clearly in discomfort after seeing the ace but decided it was too good of a price as he called. Pihela tabled A♥8♥ as he got three streets of bets in to drag the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Sam Greenwood led out for 70,000 on a flop of 9♠5♣2♦ and Sinan Unlu raised to 150,000 in the big blind. Greenwood then moved all in and Unlu called.

Sam Greenwood: 10♦10♠ All in
Sinan Unlu: 9♥8♠

Greenwood was ahead with his pair of tens, while Unlu was looking to improve with a pair of nines. The A♦ turn was safe for Greenwood, but Unlu hit the 8♣ on the river to make two pair and secure the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Unlu had 355,000 remaining. He barely had Greenwood covered and Greenwood was sent to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With over 300,000 in the middle the turn read A♣K♣Q♦K♦. Felipe Ketzer checked to Taylor von Kriegenbergh who tossed a bet of 125,000 across the line and Ketzer made the call.

The 2♦ completed the board on the river, and Ketzer checked it over once again. Von Kriegenbergh jammed for his last 355,000, putting Ketzer in agony as he tanked for three roughly three minutes. Eventually, he tossed in the call.

Von Kriegenbergh rolled A♠A♥ for aces full of kings, and Ketzer said, "Nice bet," as he showed K♠10♠ for trip kings.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh raised to 40,000 under the gun, Dylan Weisman moved all in for 200,000 in the cutoff, and Von Kriegenbergh called.

Dylan Weisman: A♥8♥ All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: 10♦9♦

The 8♦K♥2♥ flop not only gave Weisman a pair but also the nut flush draw to take a big lead in the pot. Von Kriegenbergh couldn't catch up on the Q♦ turn or Q♠ river and tossed Weisman over the chips.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Carlos Ribeiro limped the small blind and Dylan Weisman checked his option.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♦7♥2♥, and Ribeiro check-called a bet of 25,000.

The 6♥ turn was checked through to see the 2♣ on the river. Ribeiro checked once more and Weisman fired 80,000 into the center of the table. Ribeiro thought about it for a few moments before sighing as he pitched his cards into the muck.
