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

Blair Hinkle raised to 40,000 first to act and Aaron Thivyanathan defended the big blind. The flop came J♠5♣9♣ and both players checked.

The turn was the 3♣ and Thivyanathan bet 50,000, which Hinkle called. On the Q♥ river, Thivyanathan quietly shoved the rest of his stack in for about 220,000. Hinkle talked to himself for a few seconds and called.

Aaron Thivyanathan: 8♦7♦
Blair Hinkle: A♠Q♣

Hinkle's top pair was good to knock out Thivyanathan.

Elsewhere Matthias Auer and Eugene Pleyo took early exits and were knocked out.

George Rotariu: 9♥9♣
Middle position player: A♦Q♦

The flop did not bode well for Rotariu when it came Q♠2♦J♣, but the turn 8♠ and the river 10♠ had Rotariu celebrating as he hit a straight on the river.
