Nível 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jesse Lonis was on the button when he moved all in for 380,000 chips. In the small blind, Alexandros Theologis three-bet all in with a slightly bigger stack, and the big blind folded.

Jesse Lonis: K♥3♥
Alexandros Theologis: 4♠4♥

A three on the flop 3♦Q♦8♥ gave a pair to Lonis but didn't change anything to the situation. The 6♦ on the turn didn't help him either. However, the 3♠ landed on the river, giving trips to Lonis, who doubled up.

Cary Katz limped from under the gun, and everybody folded to Alejandro Lococo in the small blind, who called as well. Brandon Wittmeyer checked from the small blind, and all three players saw the flop 4♠10♥10♠ being revealed by the dealer.

There was no further action on the first street, as all players checked. Then on the turn 3♠, Lococo took the lead with a bet of 205,000. Wittmeyer called, but Katz folded.

The 3♦ came on the river, and "PapoMc" fired out a bet of 205,000. Wittmeyer used a time bank and eventually called.

Lococo flipped his cards and revealed 7♦3♥ for a boat, the winning hand.

Nível 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dan Heimiller was seen in the tank as he already had 245,000 across the line and was faced with an all-in jam from Stanley Tang for 860,000. Heimiller had 790,000 total and tanked for his entire allotted time bank before saying, "I think you have ace-king, I call."

Dan Heimiller: 10♥10♦
Stanely Tang: A♣K♠

Heimiller was correct but the A♥9♠7♠ flop paired Tang's ace as Heimiller let out a quiet "F*Ck."

The 7♦ turn and 5♦ river were no help as Heimiller exited the tournament.

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

Justin Saliba opened from early position and was called by Henrik Hecklen in the small blind and [Removed:554] in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♠K♥6♣, and Saliba made a continuation bet of 55,000. But Hecklen raised to 170,000.

On his left, [Removed:555] wasn't done yet and he prepared a three-bet to 300,000. But Saliba didn't back down, and decided to four-bet to 430,000.

Clearly unhappy, Hecklen folded. But it wasn't [Removed:555]'s option as he moved all-in for 1,100,000 chips. Saliba took a few seconds to think about it and called.

[Removed:554]: 8♣8♦
Justin Saliba: 6♠6♦

Both players hit a set on the flop, but [Removed:555] had the better one. The 7♣ and the Q♣ didn't change anything, and [Removed:555] doubled up.
