Miracle River Saves Nasir

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Sheraz Nasir
Sheraz Nasir

Sheraz Nasir is the new chipleader after cracking Lu Zhang's aces with a miracle river card.

Levi Stevens made it 100,000 and Gary Lucci and Nasir called before Zhang three-bet to 425,000.

Only Nasir called and they went heads-up to a {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. Nasir checked, Zhang led for 350,000 and Nasir check-raised to one million chips.

Zhang respoded by shipping it in and Nasir called all in for his tournament life holding {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for top pair. But Zhang had {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} once again and looked to be running away with this thing as the {6-Spades} turn fell.

Then suddenly, the crowd gasped as the dealer burned and turned over the {K-Spades} river, giving Nasir trip kings, the pot, and the chip lead.

With that, Level 26 ended and the players headed off on a 10-minute break.

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Trevor Delaney
Trevor Delaney

Lu Zhang is now the massive chipleader and Trevor Delaney is out after a huge hand between the two leaders played out moments ago.

Delaney made it 85,000 under the gun and Zhang bumped it up to 185,000 on the button. The flop came {3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Delaney bet 135,000. Zhang called.

The turn card was the {5-Clubs} bringing another Delaney bet of 230,000. Zhang raised to 730,000 and Delaney called.

The river came the {K-Hearts} and the fireworks started with a 395,000-chip Delaney bet. Zhang fired back, making it 1,020,000 and Delaney shipped it in.

Zhang tanked, stood out of her chair and eventually made the call with {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. Delaney could only show {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and is out fifth.

In the first hand of play Dylan Wilkerson made it 70,000, Levi Stevens shipped it in having him barely covered and after Wilkerson called the race was on.

It was Stevens holding {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Wilkerson on {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and the flop fell {3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{3-Spades} giving Stevens the lead.

The {10-Hearts} turn and {K-Spades} river were no help for Wilkerson and they are down to five fast.
