Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After limping for 25,000 preflop, Giuseppe Liantonio and Naor Slobodskoy went to a flop of K♥A♣A♠ and Slobodskoy led out for 25,000.

Liantino made the call and the duo went to the turn 6♠ where both players decided to check.

The river came the Q♣ and Slobodskoy set out a small bet of 45,000 which Liantonio called and was shown J♦J♣10♠5♠ by Slobodskoy for a rivered Broadway.

Liantino slid his cards into the muck while Slobodskoy raked in the pot to boost his already large stack to almost 2,500,000.

Naor Slobodskoy	2,450,000 1,010,000	1,010,000

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Giuseppe Liantonio had lost a big pot to Daniel Negreanu just a few hands prior where Negreanu made jacks full on the turn, leaving him short.

Liantonio put the majority of his chips into play with a raise and Sultan Khair put the rest in , Liantonio called and they ran a board. When cards were on their backs, Liantonio could be heard saying, "Well, I'm double suited...".

Giuseppe Liantonio: K♥Q♠10♠4♥
Sultan Khair: K♣K♠10♣5♣

The board ran out 6♥4♣6♦, shrinking Liantonio's chances of pulling ahead. When the turn brought the 7♣ it nearly closed the door on him, as he had to catch a four. The river bricked the 7♦ and Khair's kings were best.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sultan Khair	1,200,000 580,000	580,000
Daniel Negreanu	1,100,000 -300,000	-300,000

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

One year removed from a rough summer, Daniel Negreanu is fighting his way back to within striking distance in the Player of the Year race — sort of — and he's doing so with large field event success.

At the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP), the Poker Hall of Famer lost $1.1 million and was never in contention for Player of the Year. He isn't really in contention yet this year, but he isn't too far off from getting to that point.
