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

Scott Blumstein raised to 50,000 from late position and Alec Torelli made the call from the small blind.

The flop came 8♠3♥2♣ and both players were quick to check.

While the turn peeled the 4♠, Torelli led out for 85,000. Blumstein found the fold for Torelli to take the pot.

Shortly before, Torelli found a double after getting it all in with A♥Q♥ against KxKx. The board ran out 8x4x2x3x5x for Torelli to find the four card wheel.

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

With about 100,000 in the middle the turn read K♣3♣2♦2♠ and Edgaras Kausinis led for 85,000 from the small blind. Or Nezer was the only opponent in the hand and made the call from the hijack.

The K♠ landed on the river, and Kausinis continued for 265,000. Nezer tanked for about a minute and tossed in a call.

Kausinis tabled 5♠4♠ for a busted straight draw and Nezer took the pot with Q♣J♣.

"Good call," Said Kausinis as the pot got shipped the other way.

"Thank you," Nezer responded, "Tough one."

Eddy Sabat: 8♠K♠ All in

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

In a hand from the previous level, and one that contributed to his descent, Alex Livingston raised from a middle position to 50,000. Yuan Yu raised to 75,000 as a misclick, and Livingston made the call.

The players saw the 8♥6♦6♣ flop and both checked to the A♥ turn. Livingston bet 140,000 and Yu made the call.

The 10♣ completed the board and Livingston checked to Yu, who bet 225,000, prompting Livingston to fold.

A few hands later in the new level, Livingston was seen at the payout table, having been eliminated with around 120 players remaining.

Brehme Building

Jeff McMillan

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

Paul Clotar jammed in early position for 415,000. Tommaso Briotti called in middle position. David Brehme then re-jammed his big stack from the cutoff. Briotti looked sick as he had to decide for his remaining 1,700,000. He threw his head back and took some time before folding.

Paul Clotar: 4♦4♥ All in
David Brehme: J♠J♣

The flop came Q♠Q♥7♣. The turn was the A♣ and the river the 6♣ to send Clotar away and give Brehme even more chips to his growing stack.
