Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a board of 4♦3♥5♣8♠9♦, all the chips were in the middle with Ko having tabled 7♣6♣ for a straight. Angel Castro had rivered a set of nines holding 9♥9♣ and the under-the-gun player held J♥J♣, which finished third in the hand.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Bin Weng raised to 60,000 in the hijack before Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 200,000 in the cutoff.

Weng asked the dealer how much Ponakovs' raise was for and the dealer went to toss him the all-in chip. "I said how much is it," Weng said to a round of laughs from the table.

The dealer confirmed Ponakovs' raise before Weng moved all in for real this time, shoving his last 700,000 into the middle. Ponakovs snap-called.

Bin Weng: A♠7♠ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦K♣

Weng found himself dominated as the A♣6♥5♥ flop gave both players top pair. The rest of the board came 6♠Q♦ and Ponakovs' king-kicker played to send Weng to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Russell Rosenblum opened to 55,000 from middle position and he was called by Sami Bechahed on the button, Merijn van Rooij in the small blind and Jose Aguilera in the big blind.

Rosenblum continued for 100,000 on the K♦9♠Q♠ flop, but only Bechahed called. There was no more action on the 10♦ turn and the 4♦ river, and Rosenblum flipped over K♠Q♦ for two pair. Bechahed sent his cards into the muck.

A few minutes later, Aguilera ran into Bechahed's aces and was eliminated. After he finished 10th last year for $700,000, he wins $40,000 this year.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Cole Keenan, who is wearing an army helmet with night vision goggles attached, opened to 55,000 before Adrian Buckley raised to 410,000 from the button, leaving just 10,000 behind. Yaroslav Shklyar called from the small blind ahead of Keenan getting out of the way.

Shklyar bet 10,000 in the dark, and Buckley put in his last two T-5,000 chips on the 10♦4♥4♣ flop.

Adrian Buckley: AxQx All in
Yaroslav Shklyar: 9♦9♣

Shklyar's pocket pair was ahead and remained best after the 2♣ turn and 6♣ river.
