Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded around to Florian Duta of Team Trofimov on the button, and he raised to 40,000.

A player from Team Nasa then moved all in from the small blind for around 420,000 and saw a player from Team Jung reshove from the big blind for 450,000, which was enough to get a fold from Duta.

Team Nasa: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Team Jung: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Board: {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Team Koon Needs to Pay Up

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Stoyan Obreshkov of Team Dimitrov raised from the cutoff and Frank Kunz shoved on the button for 250,000. Sosia Jiang of Team Koon decided to shove too from the small blind, having both of her opponents covered. Obreshkov called for the 343,000 he had behind.

Team Kunz: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Team Dimitrov: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Team Koon: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

No ace or king on the board during the runout and Obreshkov would get a double for the 93,000 he had more than Kunz while he and Kunz would split the 250,000 Jiang had to pay up.

Jie Xu of Team Chang raised to 35,000 from middle position and saw Kenny Hallaert of Team Hallert three-bet to 100,000 from the hijack.

The flop fell {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and Xu checked. Hallaert paused for 20 seconds before he pushed forward a stack worth 500,000, and Xu snap-called for his final 312,000.

Xu tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for the flopped flush, and Hallaert revealed he had outs to the nut flush holding {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

The dealer revealed the {5-Diamonds} turn and {3-Hearts} river, which were no help to Hallaert and Xu survived to secure a full double up.
