Metaal Pays Off Wang

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Zhaoxing Wang raised to 52,000 from the cutoff and Govert Metaal called out of the small blind. There was not much action on the {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop with a check, a small continuation bet and a call. The {8-Spades} turn was checked before Metaal bet the {6-Diamonds} river for 86,000. Wang raised it up and Metaal asked for a count on the raise, which was 312,000 in total.

Metaal called and quickly mucked his cards once Wang rolled over {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a rivered set.

Sindelar Takes from Emory

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Dan Sindelar raised to 55,000 and Thomas Lutz called in the small blind, as did Bryan Emory in the big blind. Emory bet the {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop for 80,000 and Sindelar was the only caller. Both remaining players checked through the {7-Clubs} on the turn before Emory also checked the {4-Clubs} river.

Sindelar bet 132,000 and Emory called to see Sindelar turn over {J-Spades}{10-Spades} as winning hand.

Emory Stays Active

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Bryan Emory defended his big blind against a raise by Chris Bolek. After the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop was checked through, Emory bet the {10-Hearts} turn for 50,000 and Bolek called before the {K-Hearts} river saw Emory with a bet of 130,000. Bolek folded and the pot was awarded to Emory.

One hand later, Emory three-bet to 140,000 out of the small blind against initial raiser Dan Sindelar and the latter called from under the gun. The flop fell {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Emory checked, Sindelar bet 90,000, and that forced a fold from Emory to cancel out the profit of the previous hand.

Gilbert Doubles Through Wang

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

James Gilbert was among the shortest stacks coming back from the break and just open-shoved for his last 295,000. Zhaoxing Wang called in the cutoff and Govert Metaal in the small blind gave it plenty of consideration before letting go. Tobias Peters also forfeited the big blind and the cards were tabled.

Gilbert: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Wang: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board came {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Gilbert doubled. Over on the other table, Jacob Bazeley and Mike Linster talked about the hand and Gilbert joked, "Don't sound too excited over there, Mike."

Bazeley added, "I heard him clapping."

Gilbert Chips Up Some More

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Sammy Lafleur limped in from the small blind and James Gilbert checked his option in the big blind. On a flop of {Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}, both players invested 30,000 and the {4-Spades} turn saw Lafleur check, Gilbert bet 125,000, and Lafleur call. The {3-Spades} river completed the board and Lafleur checked.

Gilbert moved all in for around 15 big blinds and Lafleur quickly folded.

Emory Back in the Mix

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

After claiming a bigger pot without showdown against chipleader Thomas Lutz, Bryan Emory bumped his stack to more than one million and added some more chips after also taking a pot off Dan Sindelar soon after.

Emory raised to 65,000 on the button and Sindelar called out of the big blind. On the {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Sindelar checked and called a bet worth 50,000. The {8-Spades} on the turn saw both players check and the {6-Spades} river completed the board. Sindelar bet 130,000 and Emory cut out a raise to approximately 370,000. Sindelar didn't ask for a count, but instead quickly sent his cards into the muck.

Metaal Defends

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Sammy Lafleur raised from middle position to 65,000. Govert Metaal defended his big blind.

The flop was {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and both players checked to the turn which was the {q-Spades}. Metaal check-called Lafleur's bet of 125,000.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Metaal checked again. Lafleur sized out a bet of 280,000. Metaal tanked for a couple of minutes before he called.

Lafleur: {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Metaal: {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Lafleur missed his flush draw and Metaal was good with his top pair of turned queens.
