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

On a flop of A♥K♠2♠, the action had checked to Alexandre Reard on the button, who bet 80,000. Aram Zobian called from the small blind, and Rodrigo Daher folded sitting in the big blind.

When the J♦ landed on the turn, Zobian checked, Reard bet 315,000, Zobian then check-raised to 950,000, and Reard called.

An 8♣ hit the river and Zobian took a while before shoving all in. Reard had around 1,700,000 chips behind and needed to put them all into the pot if he wanted to continue in the hand. After a few minutes, Reard laid it down.

Alexandre Reard: 3♠3♥ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: A♣J♣

Reard flopped a set of threes and the Q♥ river improved him to a full house as Mustafov continues to swing downward.

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

Michael Rocco opened to 80,000 from under the gun and was called by Toby Joyce in the big blind.

Joyce checked following the 6♦2♥8♥ flop. Rocco continued for 120,000 only to see Joyce put in a raise to 375,000. Rocco decided to move all in for 1,165,000 and was snapped off by his opponent.

Michael Rocco: A♥7♠ All in
Toby Joyce: K♥10♥

Rocco was a very slight favorite with his ace high blocker against the flush draw and two live cards of Joyce. The remaining J♦Q♦ runout was clean for Rocco to hand him a full double.
