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

Michael Soyza opened 385,000 under the gun leaving just 5,000 behind and Or Nezer jammed from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Soyza who went into the tank. "Give me one minute," he said as he thought about it. "I hope you have ace-king." Eventually, he made the call.

Michael Soyza: 7♣7♦ All in
Or Nezer: A♥K♣

Soyza got his wish and the 10♠7♠5♥ flop left Nezer drawing thin. The board completed with the K♦ on the turn and the 3♣ on the river for Soyza to double again.

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

Two players created a pot of 350,000 to see the A♣6♣2♥8♠ turn and Gabi Livshitz check-called a bet of 200,000 from Elliot Smith.

The K♣ landed on the river and Livshitz led for 420,000. Smith went into the tank for about three minutes before the clock was called, and the floor gave him 30 seconds to act. He failed to act in the 30 seconds and he hand was declared dead.

Livshitz let him pick one, and he peeled the 6♠.
