Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
While we saw some big moves during the first part of Level 23, the remaining 15 minutes were quiet. The biggest pot that emerged was when Allan Le raised to 45,000 and received two calls from Mark Zullo and Bruno Politano. Zullo called a tiny bet on the flop before firing 100,000 himself on the turn, taking down the pot.
Other than that, the play has been steady.
Level 23

After a few raise-and-take-its and a small pot for Tyler Groth in a battle of the blinds against Darren Taylor, it was Daniel Spencer who put his tournament life on the line. Spencer raised to 70,000, and Igor Sharaskin called in the big blind.
The flop fell 
, and Sharaskin bet 150,000. Spencer called all in for his last 47,000.
Daniel Spencer: 
Igor Sharaskin: 
Both had flopped tens and sixes, but Spencer had a redraw to the straight and immediately got there with the 
turn. Sharaskin could still chop it with a ten or six, but the 
river was a blank, and Spencer doubled.

Jonathan Zarin raised to 45,000 from the hijack and small blind Adam Brown announced "pot." The dealer informed him that the price was 155,000, and action returned to Zarin who called.
The flop brought the 
and Brown put in the remaining chips he had left, earning a quick call from Zarin.
Adam Brown: 
Jonathan Zarin: 
Brown was in very solid shape with the top pair on the rainbow board as Zarin had only a middle pair and no flush or straight draws. The 
turn was a blank and so was the 
river. Zarin dropped more than a half of his stack in that hand.

Allan Le raised to 46,000 from middle position and Casey Carroll, the shortest stack at the table, moved all in for what looked to be 122,000. The exact count wasn't needed at that point as Le called within seconds.
Casey Carroll: 
Allan Le: 
The 
flop increased chances for a split and the turn and 
river confirmed the tie.
On the very next hand, Carroll opened to 70,000 and faced Igor Sharaskin, who check-folded to Carroll's all-in on a 
flop. Carroll flipped over kings.

The action has slowed down after the double of Bruno Politano.
In one recent hand, Allan Le check-called a bet of 35,000 from Darren Taylor on the cutoff after a flop of 
, then the turn and river were checked through. Le showed 
and won the pot with two pair.
In another, Igor Sharaskin opened to 45,000 in the hijack and Mark Zullo called in the small blind. Zullo check-folded the 
flop to a bet of 55,000.
The next hand after that, Tyler Groth raised to 45,000 from early position and Sharaskin called, as did Daniel Spencer in the big blind. Spencer checked the flop and Groth claimed the pot with a bet of 100,000 as both opponents folded.
Spencer raised the pot from the small blind the next hand and claimed the chips.

Bruno Politano was in middle position and he raised pot, making it 70,000. Action folded to Jonathan Zarin in the big blind, who asked Politano about his chip stack. "One-hundred-and-fifty total," Politano replied.
Zarin called and 
landed on the flop. Zarin didn't wait and shoved all in and Politano called.
Bruno Politano:
Jonathan Zarin: 
Politano's tournament life was on the line as Zarin had flopped a set of sevens. Politano's disappointment didn't last long, however, as the 
appeared on the turn.
"Jack is good!" shouted the Brazilian November Niner. The on the river brought another set for Zarin, but that didn't matter.
"We got it! Brazil here!" celebrated Politano with genuine excitement, adding other weird noises similar to something you can hear in the Amazon rainforest.
