Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Team Munteanu moved all-in from the button and was called by John Ventre of Team Gallo in the small blind.

Team Munteanu: K♠J♠
John Ventre: A♣5♣

Ventre had the slight lead heading into the flop and the 2♥5♦A♠ board would leave Team Munteanu needing runner-runner to catch-up.

They would get halfway there on the 10♣ turn but it was no dice on the 2♦ river, sending Team Munteanu to the payout desk.

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

The cards were on their backs in an all-in hand between Ramon Kropmanns of Team Kropmanns and Nipun Java of Team Java.

Nipun Java: K♣K♥
Ramon Kropmanns: A♠K♠

Team Java looked primed for the double, but just like every other time you've had kings in your life, an ace hit the flop and the full runout of A♦4♦5♥J♠3♣ sent the prior winners of this event to the rail.

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

"Good luck us," said Team Lu before making the call.

Jonah LaBranche of Team LaBranche and Team Lu were all-in from the small blind and big blind, respectively.

Team Lu: A♦J♦
Jonah LaBranche: Q♠Q♣

Team Lu needed some help in the form of an ace or straight or flush cards and the J♥7♣5♥ flop did offer that a bit, but the 8♠ turn and the 6♦ river would send them to the payout desk.

Jonah LaBranche - Dustin Wills	2,450,000 975,000	975,000

Jim Murray

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

Team Moscati raised to 60,000 from early position and was three-bet bet by John Ventre of Team Gallo to 185,000. Action folded around to Team Java in the small blind, who put in a four-bet to 425,000, prompting Team Moscati to fold and John Ventre to move all-in for 1,630,000.

After some deliberation, Team Java made the call.

John Ventre: A♥A♠
Team Java: Q♦Q♥

It was a cooler for Team Java, but the flop of 10♥J♣8♣ would present a few more outs. However, those outs would not materialize on the 6♠ turn or the 4♥ river, giving Team Gallo the full double.

Player	Chips	Progress
John Ventre - Kenneth Gallo	3,460,000 1,815,000	1,815,000
