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

David Melius raised to 60,000 and then called a three-bet to 180,000 by Danielle Andersen, after which both checked the Q♥9♥4♦ flop. The 2♣ turn was checked as well and the A♠ fell on the river. Melius checked, Andersen bet 140,000 and was instantly called.

Andersen showed the A♦K♥ and Melius chopped with the A♥K♠.

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

After an open to 60,000 by a player in middle position, Antoine Saout called from the button, and Casey Stewart defended from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣10♠6♠, and everybody checked to Saout who bet 75,000. Stewart then check-raised to 190,000 and made the third player fold. Saout eventually called.

Both players checked the A♠ turn leading to the 3♠ river where Stewart bet 155,000. Saout went deep into the tank, but chose to fold.

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

Jonathan Little predicted David Simon was going to win the tournament after Simon beat him in a pot earlier this level, but that lasted only a few minutes.

Simon had fallen down to around 350,000 when he moved all in from the cutoff. Hiroki Nawa was in the big blind and called to put Simon at risk.

David Simon: A♠7♦ All in
Hiroki Nawa: A♣Q♦

Simon was dominated as the J♥K♠J♦4♦10♣ board improved Nawa to a straight, sending Simon to the rail.

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

Shundan Xiao opened to 60,000 from the hijack and was called by Janelle Jacobson in the cutoff and Pol Vela in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked through on the K♣10♠7♠ flop and then Vela led out for 75,000 on the J♠ turn. Xiao raised to 160,000, which got a quick folded from Jacobson and a call from Vela.

Both players checked on the 4♦ river and Vela turned over 10♣7♣ for a flopped two pair. Xiao couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Vela.

Calum Grant

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

Martin Finger put in his last 355,000 from the cutoff and was called by Peter Bloch, who was in the small blind. The big blind folded and the cards were turned over.

Martin Finger: Q♦J♠ All in
Peter Bloch: A♣A♦

Finger was in rough shape but picked up an open ender after the K♣10♦6♣ flop. Two of those outs were removed after the 8♣ turn as Bloch had a flush draw. The 9♠ river completed Finger's straight and Bloch smacked the table rail before giving his opponent a thumbs up along with a portion of his stack.

Ciaran McCullagh: A♠K♠ All in

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

Noah Boeken was sitting on a short stack of around 200,000 when he moved all in from early position. The table folded to Mark Zullo in the big blind who called to put Boeken at risk.

Noah Boeken: Q♠J♣ All in
Mark Zullo: K♥K♦

Boeken was far behind Zullo's kings as the flop came J♦6♥7♠, giving him some hope with a pair of jacks. The 3♦ turn was no help, while the 3♠ completed the board on the river and sent Boeken to the rail.
