Hand #152: Jack Sinclair made it 1,200,000 to go from the hijack, and Antoine Saout called in the big blind.

The flop fell {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and Saout checked. Sinclair continued for 1,500,000, and Saout called. The {J-Diamonds} turn paired the board, and Saout checked once more. Sinclair fired a second barrel worth 3,300,000, and Saout check-raised to 7,875,000, leaving himself with less than 10,000,000 behind. Sinclair called to create a pot of almost 22 million, and the {3-Spades} river completed the board. Saout moved all in for his last 9,850,000, and Sinclair tanked.

"I have a really strong hand here," the Brit said.

Short stack Karen Sarkisyan called the clock, and Sinclair folded {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a straight face-up. Pedro Oliveira and Bryan Piccioli said that they wanted to bet on Saout's holdings and promised to be watching the broadcast.

Hand #153: Sinclair made it 1,200,000 to go from early position, and Benjamin Pollak called in the cutoff. On the {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop, Sinclair checked, and Pollak bet 1,400,000, which Sinclair called. The {Q-Spades} turn brought another check from Sinclair and a bet of 2,600,000 from Pollak, which won the pot.

Hand #154: Sinclair raised to 1,200,000 from under the gun, and Piccioli called in the cutoff, as did Hesp in the small blind and Sarkisyan in the big blind.

Hesp bet the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop for 1,500,000, and Sinclair was the only caller. The {A-Clubs} appeared on the turn, and both players checked. After the {4-Spades} river completed the board, the action went check-check again.

Hesp tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and that was good enough to win the pot.
