Danny Wong moved all in from the cutoff with ace jack, and Zinan Xu woke up in the big blind with ace king, and called.

Xu: A♥K♥

A K♠Q♣7♣ flop left Wong with some gutshot straight and backdoor flush outs, but a 4♦ turn and 3♦ river shut him out.

Iati Finds a Huge Double

Livello 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Taylor Paur raised from under the gun to 25,000, it came around to Rocco Iati who then reaised to 125,000. It didn't take long for Paur to go all in and Iati quickly made the call.

Rocco Iati: A♦A♥
Taylor Paur: A♠Q♠

A spade in the window caused a glimmer of hope for Paur before the dealer spread a rainbow board. No spade on the turn left Paur drawing dead and Iati's stack went from average to double that.

Rocco Iati	700,000 500,000	500,000

Awad Wins Battle of Bracelet Winners

Livello 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Leo Soma shoved all in from the button and Hani Awad immediately called from the small blind.

Soma: A♣6♥
Awad: A♦K♣

An ace hit a flop of 3♠A♥J♦ and little cards on turn and river 2♦4♠, but none of them the six that Soma needed, and he was eliminated.

Big Hero Call

Livello 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The board read 3♦5♥8♦J♣Kx and Matthew Hunt was sitting with the all-in button front of him and Daniel Le was facing a decision. It appeared the river shove was for just under 400,000.

Le ended up putting a stack out to signify a call and Hunt showed 5♥3♠ for two pair. Le tried to send his hand into the muck but the table objected and the dealer turned over Ax5x for a hero call gone wrong.

Chino Rheem, who was also seated at this table, couldn't help but chime in, "You were in the small, how'd you see a flop?" but it was mainly in jest and he told the table he also won a big hand with five-trey off-suit.

Levy Bags a Big One

Livello 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

With 250,000 already in the pot Turbo Nguyen led out for 90,000 on a K♠5♣5♦ flop, and Tzur Levy called.

Nguyen led again, this time for 200,000 on a 7♠ turn, but did not lose Levy. Both players checked the 10♥ river, and when the cards were flipped, Levy's K♥J♥ bested Nguyen's A♥10♥ and he dragged a huge pot.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Tzur Levy	1,280,000 462,000	462,000
Turbo Nguyen	400,000 -450,000	-450,000
