Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

David Benyamine raised the pot to 175,000 on the button and George Wolff called in the big blind. They checked the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop and Wolff's bet on the {3-Diamonds} turn forced a fold from Benyamine, who was shown the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Scotty Nguyen raised the pot on the button the next hand, Ben Yu called in the big blind. The {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop went check, check, and Yu check-folded the {2-Diamonds} turn to a bet worth 150,000.

Yu limped the small blind one hand later and Jason Mercier checked in the big blind. Yu bet the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop for 60,000 to pick up a call before doing so again the {10-Diamonds} turn for 120,000, Mercier called a second time. There was no further action on the {10-Diamonds} river and Yu showed {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a set of deuces to claim the pot.
