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

Straight after the restart, a player in middle position moved all in for 360,000 chips. Then, in the small blind, Brandon Caputo re-raised all in with a bigger stack. The big blind folded.

Brandon Caputo: A♦9♦
Opponent: A♥10♥

Caputo was behind preflop, and he stayed behind until the river, as his opponent hit two pairs on 4♥10♦A♠J♥J♣.

Down to 205,000 chips, Caputo was involved in an all in and call situation just a few hands later.

Brandon Caputo: Q♦Q♥
Opponent: A♠Q♠

Ahead this time, Caputo wasn't that happy when he saw the flop 6♣5♠7♠, which gave a flush draw to his opponent. Nothing changed with the 4♦ turn. But the 3♠ on the river completed the flush, leading to Caputo's elimination.

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

Alejandro Lococo opened from the hijack and was raised all in by the small blind for 245,000 chips. Lococo took a few seconds and called.

Small blind: 7♦6♦
Alejandro Lococo: K♦J♥

With a king-high, Lococo was still in the lead on 9♥10♥9♣, even if his opponent had a gutshot. However, the turn 3♦ and the river 2♦ didn't change anything. Lococo is now back over 1,000,000 chips.

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

The cutoff shoved and Tony Gargano called before the big blind also went all in with the smaller stack for a three-way showdown:

Tony Gargano: A♥K♠
Cutoff: 9♥9♦
Big Blind: J♥J♣

The flop A♠K♣Q♥ immediately improved Gargano's hand into two pair and he took down the large pot and a bounty after the rest of the board fell the 7♥ and the 4♦.

Gaelle Jaudon

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

The hijack opened to 60,000 and picked up calls from the button and the small blind before Damian Salas jammed in the big blind for 375,000. After some thinking, only the button made the call after the clock was called:

Damian Salas: K♦J♦
Button: 9♥9♣

Salas won the flip thanks to a board 2♥Q♣2♥10♥7♣ and is now approaching a stack worth a million.
