Nível 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Xiang Lin slid forward 500,000 from the small blind and Daniel Samson moved all in from the cutoff. "Are you folding?" he asked Lin, who only had a few chips behind and stood up from his seat before calling.

Xiang Lin: K♦5♥ All in
Daniel Samson: Q♣Q♦

"I'm only playing one card," Lin said, only showing his king at first before the dealer forced him to expose both his cards. The flop came 8♦5♠5♣ and Lin hit trips to take the lead, but the Q♥ fell on the turn to give Samson a full house.

The river was the A♥ and Lin tossed over his bounty. "He's rivered me the whole day. I finally got him," Samson said.

Kevin Lee opened to 80,000 from early position and Colton Blomberg called on the button as Juan Ruiz defended his big blind.

Action checked to Blomberg on the flop of 3♠5♦6♠ and Ruiz check-raised to 325,000. Only Blomberg called.

Ruiz then moved all in for 685,000 on the 9♠ turn and Blomberg called with a bigger stack.

Juan Ruiz: 7♠4♦ All in
Colton Blomberg: 8♣7♣

Ruiz had flopped a straight but Blomberg turned a bigger straight to have Ruiz drawing to just a chop before the J♥ river confirmed his elimination.
