Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yvette Tenorio raised to 110,000 in early position and was called by a player in late position, the small blind, and the big blind.

Four ways, they saw the 6♥J♠6♠. Both the blinds checked, and Tenorio bet the remainder of her chips which appeared to be just over 1,000,000. All three of her opponents folded in succession.

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The under-the-gun player raised 130,000 and both the small blind and Michael Jones in the big blind came along.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣8♦7♥ and Jones check-called a continuation bet of 210,000, while the small blind check-folded.

The 3♣ turn was checked by both players and when the 3♥ hit the river, Jones led for 200,000. The under-the-gun player took only a brief moment before sliding his cards back to the dealer.

Andrew Knowles

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

A player in the hijack opened for 125,000 and it folded to Steven Raymond in the big blind who made the call.

The flop fanned out A♠8♠4♦ and Raymond checked to his opponent who moved all in for roughly 600,000. Raymond snap-called or "snapping turtle" as Mark the dealer called it, to put his opponent at risk.

Hijack: A♥J♥
Steven Raymond: A♦5♦

The hijack player was ahead with a better kicker and stayed ahead on the 3♥ turn. The river, however, fell the 5♠ and it was the two pair for Raymond that scored the pot to send his opponent to the exit.

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

JJ Liu, Andre Clarke, and one other player were seen with 450,000 going in the middle and the dealer spread a flop of K♦9♦4♣.

Both of Clarke's opponents checked to him before he jammed all-in for roughly 1,230,000, which was enough to force both players' cards to hit the muck.
