Nível 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jordan Spurlin opened from under the gun, and was called by Danny Tang seated on his left, and by Craig McCorkell in the big blind.

There was no more action on the flop 3♠9♦J♠, as all three players checked. But on the turn A♦, Spurlin bet again 100,000. Tang took a long moment, and raised to 280,000. McCorkell quickly folded. Action back to him, Spurlin looked at Tang, and gave his cards back to the dealer.

Nível 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop. The board read 9♣4♥2♣ and players were heads up. Ren Lin had placed a bet of 165,000 and David "Bakes" Baker had moved all in for 580,000, putting Lin on a tough decision.

"No gamble no future!" Lin declared before making the call to put Baker at risk.

David "Bakes" Baker: 10♣10♥
Ren Lin: 7♠2♠

Baker was ahead with his overpair but Lin still had five outs with his seven-deuce. The board ran out 8♣A♣ and Baker was awarded a full double up.

"I appreciate the gamble" Baker told his opponent as he scooped the pot.

Tsokaridis Finds A Double Up

Nível 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Under the gun, Paraskevas Tsokaridis raised to 275,000, holding only 20,000 chips in his stack. All players folded to Danny Tang in the small blind, who just called. In the big blind, Yunsheng Sun folded.

On the flop 3♦4♥3♦, Tang quickly bet 100,000 to force Tsokaridis to go all in. The Greek player looked at the screen to see if there was a pay jump, and then paid.

Paraskevas Tsokaridis: 8♣8♦
Danny Tang: A♣J♠

Tang still had a few outs that could help him eliminate Tsokaridis. But the two black deuces landed on the turn and the river, and Tsokaridis doubled up.

Danny Tang	1,800,000 -300,000	-300,000

Lin Putting On A Show

MaximeTaldir

Nível 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Laughing on every hand, Ren Lin is having fun at the table, even if he was down to 190,000 chips in the big blind.

But when David "Bakes" Baker opened in middle position to 55,000, Lin preferred to call. Then, it didn't take him long to go all in for 135,000 chips on the flop 8♥7♣9♠. Of course, Baker called.

Ren Lin: K♦7♥
David "Bakes" Baker: A♥Q♠

Lin was lucky enough to hit a seven on the flop, then a K♠ on the turn, and a full house on the river with the K♥.

Thanks to this hand, he doubled his chips. But he wasn't done yet as he was all in once again a few hands later against Nozomu Shimizu. Action was caught when the two players flipped their cards on the turn on 5♦4♣Q♠K♣.

Ren Lin: 5♠4♦
Nozomu Shimizu: A♠A♣

More than just winning the hand, Lin cracked aces with his two pairs after the river card 9♣. He is back to 460,000 in chips.

Nozomu Shimizu	3,350,000 -150,000	-150,000

Max Value for Matakis

Nível 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ian Matakis opened to 55,000 from the button and received a call from Douglas Arauj Ferreira in the small blind.

The flop came 5♦3♥8♠. Ferreira checked, Matakis fired a continuation bet of 120,000 and Ferreira made the call.

Ferreira check-called another bet for 250,000 on the 10♦ turn, leading to the 10♣ river.

Ferreira stared at Matakis for about one minute on the river before checking and Matakis bet 620,000, leaving only a single big blind behind and sending Ferreira deep into the tank.

After about 90 seconds Ferreira, who was clearly put on a difficult decision, separated some calling chips from the rest of his stack and counted out what his stack would be if he called and was wrong, much like he did when faced with a similar decision the day before. After almost exactly three minutes Ferreira shook his head and stuck in the call.

Matakis showed down 10♠9♦ for trip tens and Ferreira mucked his cards while Matakis scooped in a full double up.

Good Call For Stanford

MaximeTaldir

Nível 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

From under the gun, William Stanford opened to 60,000. He was called only once by Kyle Julius in the cutoff.

On the flop 5♥4♠7♥, Stanford continued to 105,000, and he was called a second time by Julius.

Then, both players checked on the turn 10♣. But on the river 2♥, it was Julius who bet 185,000. Stanford quickly checked-called, showing 6♣6♠. Julius revealed an A♦ and a second card with the same suit, but didn't have any pair to beat Stanford.
