Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Arash Sarraf raised to 90,000 from early position and received a call from a late position player. Action then folded to the big blind who jammed for 245,000.

Sarraf paused briefly before jamming himself which got a fold from the late position player and sent him and the at risk player to a runout.

Big Blind: 2♠2♥
Arash Sarraf: 7♦7♣

Sarraf was way ahead of his all in opponent and the completed board of 6♠3♥8♣Q♥5♥ offered nothing to change that, leaving his opponent headed to the payout desk while Sarraf collected the pot.

Butcher Carves a Chunk Out of Opponent's Stack

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

An early position player raised to 60,000 and got called by the cutoff and William Butcher in the big blind leading to a 6♠10♣A♠ flop.

The early position player continued with a bet of 85,000 with both the cutoff and Butcher calling to see the Q♦ turn.

Both Butcher and the early position player checked over to the cutoff who tossed out a bet of 375,000. Butcher was the only player who called, sending both remaining players to the 7♠ river.

Butcher led for the first time of the hand and did so in a big way by jamming into his opponent who entered the tank.

With well over 1,500,000 in the pot, the late position player contemplated his action for a few minutes before ultimately folding the AxQx face up. Butcher slid his cards into the muck face down and collected a massive pot.
