Nível 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

First to act, Sean Bloom raised to 125,000 with the Q♦J♣ and earned calls from Max Deveson in the cutoff with the 5♥5♦ as well as Jonathan Kalil in the big blind with 9♠7♠. The J♠8♠4♠ flop gave Kalil a flush and he bet 175,000. Bloom opted for a raise to 400,000 and Deveson got out of the way.

Kalil pondered about his decision for a few seconds and then pushed all-in for 1,395,000. That sent Bloom into the think tank and he tossed in multiple time bank extensions before using one of them to fold.

Max Deveson mad eit 100,000 to go with the 10♠10♥ and Harold Brooks called in the cutoff with the A♥J♦. Following the 9♣3♠2♥ flop, Deveson bet 150,000 and Brooks called before they checked the Q♠ turn and 10♣ river. Brooks just smirked when he was shown the set by the Brit.

Stephen Courtney then raised to 100,000 with K♥10♥ and Sean Bloom came along in the big blind with 5♥2♥. The A♣J♥4♥ flop was checked by Bloom, and he folded his double draw to a continuation bet.

Up next, Jonathan Kalil opened to 110,000 with J♣7♣ on the button but folded to Bloom's three-bet of 275,000 with 8♥8♣ from the small blind.
