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

Picking up the action on the river, Alex Greenblatt in the small blind was involved in a hand with Joseph Bold on the button.

With the board reading 9♠3♥Q♠4♦7♦ and a large number of chips already in the middle, Greenblatt moved all in for 775,000. After asking for a count, Bold made the call but mucked with some frustration after Greenblatt tabled 9♣7♣ for two pair as he conceded a pot with massive equity considerations to his opponent.

Elsewhere, Giuseppe Vassallo was seen making his way to the payout desk.

Rene Nezhoda opened from early position to 105,000 and got called by Jayphong Nguyen from middle position.

On the J♦K♥Q♠ flop, both players checked to the 7♠ turn. Nezhoda bet 400,000, and Nguyen called.

A 8♠ completed the runout and Nezhoda shoved for around 750,000, which sent Nguyen into a deep thought. Several minutes passed before Nguyen eventually folded, and Nezhoda was pushed the pot.

Russell Hits the Jackpot to Send Andress Home

Kai Cocklin

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

Charles Russell opened the cutoff to 80,000 and John Andress shoved his stack of around 650,000 into the middle from the button. Once the blinds folded, Russell called.

John Andress: K♦K♣ All in
Charles Russell: 7♦7♣

Andress was in good shape to double up but his hopes were dashed when the flop of 5♠J♣7♠ improved Russell to a set. A J♠ landed on the turn which, despite giving Russell a full house, did bring some more outs for Andress as now any king or jack would see him survive. Unfortunately for Andress, a 10♠ fell on the river which meant he was eliminated.

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

On an immediate pay jump, Jingwei Guo raised to 80,000 from an early position and one of the table short stacks defended the big blind in Naor Slobodskoy. The A♥J♣9♥ flop was checked by Slobodskoy, and Guo continued for 50,000.

What followed was a check-raise to 215,000 with 5,000 behind by Slobodskoy and that did the trick to force a fold.

Right after the hand, Nicholas Schuler was all smiles and said "a pay jump never hurt somebody" as the clock had dropped to 285 remaining players.
