Niveau 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Andrew Kelsall raised to 80,000 from the button and Martin Stausholm called from the big blind.

Stausholm check-called a bet of 80,000 from Kelsall on the 10♠5♣3♠ flop.

Both players checked when the K♣ appeared on the turn to see the 8♣ hit the river. Stausholm took the betting lead and fired out a bet of 80,000. This was met by a raise to 280,000 by Kelsall. Stausholm snap-folded and Kelsall flipped over just the 4♦.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Triple-crown winner Harrison Gimbel is still in play and just collected a sizeable pot to get himself in a good chip position. According to the players, he opened the betting with a raise to 80,000 from early position. Gustavo Kamei had less than a small blind with 15,000 chips in late position and called all in. Qi Xu in the cutoff also called, and other players folded.

The flop came K♠9♣10♦. Gimbel bet 100,000 and Kamei moved all in, which was effective for Gimbel’s stack. Gimbel called.

Gustavo Kamei: A♠3♥ All in
Harrison Gimbel: K♥K♦ All in
Qi Xu: K♣10♣

Xu got very unlucky to flop two pair when Gimbel flopped top set. The turn J♠ and river 5♠ did not help Kamei or Xu and Gimbel doubled-up, while Kamei was eliminated. Xu was left with a short stack and has some work to do to get back in the run.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The board showed 9♣2♠Q♦3♣. Michael Estes bet 375,000 from early position with roughly 500,000 behind. From the button, Jared Bleznick raised enough to put Estes all-in. Estes snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Michael Estes: K♥K♠ All in
Jared Bleznick: 9♠9♥

Bleznick's flopped set had Estes drawing extremely thin. There was no miracle two-outer on the river as it came the 5♥, meaning Estes was out and Bleznick had become one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In the first hand Javier Agorreta was in the hijack and moved all in for 365,000 after Joseph Cheong had moved all in for 260,000 from under the gun. Everyone else moved out of the way.

Joseph Cheong: K♠Q♠ All in
Javier Agorreta: A♣8♣

Board ran as 5♠6♠4♠7♣4♣ and Cheong doubled due to the flush.

On the second hand Agorreta was left with a short stack and moved all in from late position for 100,000 and Michael Baltierra also moved all in with the bigger stack and all the other players folded.

Javier Agorreta: A♠5♠ All in
Michael Baltierra: A♦10♣

The board offered no help to Agorreta 6♣7♣9♣2♥8♠ and the ten kicker was good for the win.
