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

Mike Holtz was in middle position and raised for 190,000, leaving behind one single 25,000 chip. The player in the small blind announced "all in" and Holtz took a few moments to consider.

"I have a pair," the small blind said. "Not great news to hear," Holtz joked. "We are flipping," the small blind added. "That's what I was afraid of," Holtz replied.

Holtz eventually made the call.

Mike Holtz: K♣3♣All in
Small Blind: 2♦2♠

The board ran out Q♠3♥9♥6♦9♦ and Holtz was again able to double up and stay alive.

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

Pavel Plesuv opened from early position before calling a three-bet to 240,000 from Mike Holtz in the big blind.

Holtz continued for 125,000 on the 9♠3♦7♦ flop and received a call.

The J♦ turn saw Holtz jam all in, sending Plesuv into the tank. After mulling over his decision for a few moments, Plesuv made the call with the effective stack to put himself at risk.

Pavel Plesuv: Q♦Q♠ All in
Mike Holtz: A♦6♠

Holtz had been caught bluffing with the ace of diamonds and could not improve on the 9♣ river, leaving his stack decimated.

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

Andrew Dubuque was in the small blind when a player in late position went all in with just 70,000. Dubuque made the call from the small blind and the player in the big blind also called.

The flop came out 2♣5♣2♠ and Dubuque announced "all in". The big blind quickly folded and Dubuque was heads up with the all in player.

The board ran out 4♣J♦ and Dubuque turned over 5♠3♦ and the all in player mucked before his hand could be recorded. Dubuque collected a bounty to add to his growing stack.
