Laura Fryer

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

On the tail end of a 8♠5♥4♦6♦J♠ board, Aliaksandr Shylko checked and reluctantly paid off a bet worth 550,000 by Biao Ding. The former chip leader earlier on Day 5 tabled the 8♣8♥ for a flopped set and gained back some chips.

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

Nazar Buhaiov moved all in for 550,000 from early position and Richard Lowe called on the button.

Nazar Buhaiov: A♥K♣ All in
Richard Lowe: A♠J♥

Lowe was dominated until the J♦7♥6♦ flop gave him the lead with a pair of jacks. The turn, though, was the K♥ and Buhaiov moved back in front with kings.

The river was the 7♣ and Buhaiov doubled up.

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

Raymond Xu shoved for his last 290,000 from middle position and was called by Ciaran Mccullagh on the button to be put at risk.

Raymond Xu: A♥3♣ All in
Ciaran McCullagh: K♥Q♦

Xu held a slight lead with his ace, and the J♣4♣3♠2♥7♠ runout bricked out for Mccullagh to award Xu the double up.

Howard Checks Kings to Showdown

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

Ren Lin opened to 110,000 in the cutoff and then called after Nicholas Howard three-bet to 300,000 on the button.

Action checked through the Q♣J♠Q♠ flop to the 6♣ turn at which point both players checked once more.

The river came A♥ and Lin checked one last time. Howard checked back, prompting Lin to table 3x3x. It was no good, however, as Howard somewhat sheepishly flipped over KxKx for the higher two pair.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nicholas Howard	4,950,000 350,000	350,000
Ren Lin	4,200,000 1,000,000	1,000,000

Marc Wolpert opened to 105,000 and was three-bet by Francisco Sanchez on the button to 265,000. The blinds got out of the way then Wolpert put in a four-bet to 475,000, which Sanchez called.

On the 6♠2♥2♦ flop, Wolpert made a small continuation-bet of 250,000, and Sanchez slid his cards back to the dealer.
