Level 22 has come and gone. That means it's time for another 15-minute break. When they return, the remaining 12 players will come back to 12,000/24,000/4,000 blinds.
From the cutoff seat, Alex Lynskey raised to 45,000. Manny Stavropoulos reraised on the button to 105,000, and then play folded back to Lynskey. He took his time and then four-bet to 240,000. Stavropoulos studied, but in the end he would find a fold, and Lynskey won the pot.
Ever since his failed bluff attempt, Joel Douaglin has been very active.
In the most recent hand, Douaglin opened for 65,000 from the hijack and Raiden Kan called from the button. Both blinds folded, the flop fell , and two checks led to the turn. Douaglin checked, Kan bet 65,000, and Douaglin check-raised to 170,000. Kan made the call and the completed the board on the river.
Douaglin wasted little time in shoving all in for a hefty 1.3 million or so, and Kan thought for about 20 seconds before releasing his hand.
Lennart Uphoff has edged closer to 2.5million after he picked off a Joel Douaglin bluff with ease.
He raised to 45,000 from the cutoff and Douaglin defended his big blind to see a flop appear. The action was checked to the turn where Douaglin led for 55,000. Call. Douaglin tried again on the river, for another 105,000, but was snapped off by Uphoff.
As the dealer pulled in two big stacks of chips from Ami Barer and Brian Rast on the board, the pot swelled. The river was the , and Barer, the defending champion of this event, checked. Rast announced that he was all in, and that put the pressure on Barer.
With just about 965,000 behind, Barer went into the tank. He stayed in the tank for a very, very, very long time. It was well over 10 minutes, and maybe closer to the 15-minute mark, that Barer tanked for on the river. Eventually, Rast called the clock. The clock ran all the way down to zero on Barer, and his hand was ruled dead. Rast didn't show and scooped in the pot to move to 3.325 million in chips.
Grant Levy opened with a raise from the hijack — how much we're not quite sure — and Raiden Kan responded with a three-bet to 125,000 from the big blind. Levy called, the flop came down , and Kan bet 150,000. Levy made a quick call and then watched Kan fire out 250,000 on the turn.
Levy thought for a minute before calling, and the completed the board on the river. Kan slowed down with a check, and Levy seemed tempted to bet, though he ultimately checked behind. Kan showed the for an overpair, but it was no good. Levy held the and got lucky to find a third jack on the river.

Table 31 has only seen Lennart Uphoff show down a hand so far although a few hands have played to the river without showdown.
Richard Lyndaker has got back over a million after he raised pre flop and bet the turn and river of a board. Raiden Kan stuck with him but folded to the 95,000 river bet.
