Level 12 Highlights
Stefan Lehner and Igor Picone were in the blinds as they got the rest of Lehner's 40,500 in the middle before the flop.
Stefan Lehner: A♠J♠
Igor Picone: A♦3♣
Lehner had Picone dominated and began filming the action as the 2♥K♦5♥ flop gave Picone a straight draw. The 9♦ turn was safe for Lehner, while he secured the double up when the 5♦ fell on the river.

"Wow, so sick. Two rivers in a row, I would not play poker again for a while," Harpreet Gill chimed in after Gary Mamou had just gone from an above-average stack to short stack.
The latest setback for Mamou came when he defended the big blind against Joshua Duce in the cutoff and they got it in after the 9♥6♥4♠A♥ turn.
Joshua Duce: A♠A♣
Gary Mamou: J♥8♥
The river brought another heart but it was the 4♥ which paired the board to leave Mamou completely stunned. Duce doubled fo 77,000 and his opponent dropped to twenty big blinds.
