Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Rostyslav Sabishchenko, Brian Rast, and Stephen Hubbard all limped before Joao Simao raised to 145,000 from the small blind. Sabishchenko, and Rast called, but Hubbard jammed his last 250,000, and Simao instantly announced 'pot', raising to 1,095,000. Sabishchenko and Rast got out of the way and both hands were tabled.

"I have nothing," Said Hubbard as he tossed his cards on their backs.

Stephen Hubbard: 7♣6♦6♥5♦ All in
Joao Simao: A♥A♠J♣9♠

Hubbards 'nothing' quickly changed to something as he hit a set on the 10♦7♠6♠ flop. The 8♣ turn, and 10♠ river improved him to a full house as he raked in the pot.

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

Naoya Kihara opened 175,000 under the gun, and Naoya Kihara called in the small blind.

The J♠7♣3♠ flop hit the felt, and Sadhu announced a pot-sized bet of 450,000. Kihara thought about it for about two minutes before making the call.

When the 4♣ rolled off on the river, Sadhu continued the aggression, announcing 'pot' once again. Kihara had 630,000 remaining and thought about it for some time before making the call.

Naoya Kihara: K♣K♦Q♠Q♦
Aditya Sadhu: J♣10♣9♦3♦

Kihara was behind to the two pair of Sadhu but the K♠ river gave him a set of kings to claim the pot.
