Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Isaac Haxton had made it 420,000 preflop and Jeremy Ausmus made the call to see the flop of 5♣8♥Q♥.

Ausmus checked to Haxton who then bet the pot of 1,020,000 and Ausmus quickly moved all in for a little more.

Haxton made the call and the cards were tabled, with Ausmus at risk.

Jeremy Ausmus: J♥10♣8♣4♥
Isaac Haxton: A♥A♠J♣10♥

The 9♣ on the turn both gave players the nut straight and the 10♠ on the river did nothing and the two players dramatically chopped up the pot.

"Is this how you guys win bracelets?? If so, I've been doing it all wrong!" Firas Kashat joked on the side.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Sergio Martinez Gonzalez bet 750,000 on the 10♠5♣2♦9♣2♣ river to force a fold from Joseph Liberta. Both the Spaniard and Liberta then lost a portion of their stack when Mads Amot potted for 1,440,000 on the 9♠5♥2♦ flop and got through with it.

Isaac Haxton raised to 360,000 in the hijack and called a pot-sized three-bet to 1,260,000 by Jeremy Ausmus on the button. On a flop of K♦9♦9♥, Haxton checked and then folded when Ausmus jammed for 825,000.

Up next, Roger Teska opened to 320,000 in the small blind and Amot called. The Q♥3♦2♠ flop brought a bet worth 400,000 by Teska and Amot folded.

Tens No Good for Haxton

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

On a three-way turn of 4♦9♦8♠2♣, Isaac Haxton bet the pot of 1,200,000 and was called only by Quan Zhou to see the 2♦ fall on the river.

Haxton went into the tank for about 15 seconds before he decided to check it over to Zhou, who then begrudgingly checked back.

"I have tens," Haxton announced but was then shown A♦J♦6♣5♠ by Zhou for a flush to take down the pot.

Lau Jumps Further Ahead

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau raised to 325,000 and was called only by Bradley Anderson in the cutoff. The 8♣5♥4♣ flop was checked by the big stack and Anderson bet 475,000 for Lau to call.

Lau then also checked the 4♠ turn for Anderson to bet 1,100,000. After using one time bank, Lau then check-raised to 2,500,000 and Anderson reluctantly folded.

Andjelko Andrejevic and Firas Kashat started clapping at the same time with the latter joked "play of the tournament... that's how you make the final table."

Andrejevic grinned and said he had pocket fours which resulted in a quick rebuttal by Lau, who admitted with a big smile on the face that Anderson had bluffed him before and showed the cards while he had bluffed and not shown, too.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Bradley Anderson opened to 325,000 from early position and the action folded around to Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind, who made the call.

Both players checked the Q♥9♦Q♦ flop before Lau led out on the 9♥ turn for 700,000. Anderson called to see the 3♦ river.

After using a time bank card, Lau slid out a bet of 2,100,000 chips. Anderson took some time before tossing in the call, only to see the bad news.

Lau revealed A♥Q♠J♠9♣ for a flopped full house, adding to his massive stack as Anderson flashed his cards to Lau before mucking.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Hand 1:

Michael Russo made it 480,000 to go preflop and was called only by Sergio Martinez Gonzalez for them to see a flop of 3♦8♠5♣.

Russo then potted it to 1,200,000 and Gonzalez quickly moved all in for around 2,400,000 total. Russo then went into the tank for a bit and eventually decided to let it go and the pot was awarded to Gonzalez.

"I'll take it!" He said as he raked in the pot to put him sitting at 4,100,000.

Hand 2:

After a raise and a call preflop, Gonzalez and Dylan Weisman checked all the way down to a river of K♠9♥7♠3♦8♥ which saw another check from Gonzalez. Weisman then announced a bet of 1,400,000 and Gonzalez went into the tank before he decided to make the call.

"Nuts," Weisman announced as he spread out Q♣J♠10♠8♣ for the nut straight while Gonzalez mucked his hand.

Hand 3:

Joseph Liberta opened to 200,000 preflop and was called by Roger Teska to his left, but then short-stacked Michael Russo potted it to around 1,200,000. Liberta then moved all in over the top and Teska got out of the way as Russo made the call to put himself at risk.

Michael Russo: Q♦J♥10♥9♠
Joseph Liberta: A♠9♥8♠7♣

The board ran out 2♥K♠8♦4♥Q♠ for a lone pair of queens to win the pot to double up Russo.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dylan Weisman raised to 320,000 from under the gun and Chance Kornuth defended the big blind. On a Q♣J♥4♥ flop, Kornuth check-called for 350,000 and they checked down the 4♦ turn as well as the 5♥ river.

Kornuth flashed the Q♠J♣J♠9♣ for jacks full and Weisman patted himself on the shoulders.

One table over, Andjelko Andrejevic had raised and Ka Kwan Lau called in the small blind. They checked to the 10♥9♠2♠Q♦ turn on which Lau bet 425,000 and Andrejevic called. Lau also bet the 10♣ river for 450,000 and Andrejevic folded.

Lau opened the next button to 420,000 for Quan Zhou to call in the small blind. Zhou check-called the 7♣7♥5♠ flop for 250,000 and the 2♠ turn was checked. Zhou bet the 9♠ river for 650,000 and Lau folded.

Back to the other table, Bradley Anderson raised the button to 420,000 and Isaac Haxton defended the big blind. Haxton's check on the J♣3♦3♥ flop saw Anderson shove for 810,000 and Haxton folded.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joseph Liberta opened to 420,000 from middle position and found calls from Mads Amot in the small blind and Michael Russo in the big blind.

All three players checked through the 10♥8♥10♦ flop before the blinds tapped the table again on the A♦ turn.

Liberta slid in his remaining stack of 1,120,000 to see Amot make the call, while Russo got out of the way.

Joseph Liberta: A♣K♥Q♣Q♦
Mads Amot: A♠Q♥10♠2♥

Amot was well in front with his full house, while the A♥ river was no help to Liberta who exited in 15th place.

Mads Amot	8,750,000 1,650,000	1,650,000
