Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Rene Lazaro raised to 915,000 from early position with just 20,000 behind and called off as Divyam Satyarthi three-bet jammed in the big blind.

A six in the window on the flop of K♣8♣6♦ gave Satyarthi a big lead and nothing changed on the 3♥ turn. However, the river brought the J♠ to earn Lazaro a double as he was saved.

Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Rocco Iati open-jammed a stack of around 2,200,000 from the hijack and Nick Palma re-shoved on the button with a slightly larger stack.

Nick Palma: 10♠10♥

"My favorite hand," Palma said as the cards were flipped.

The flop of 2♥5♦5♠ kept Palma ahead with tens and the 5♣ turn improved him to a full house. But the 5♥ river put quads on the board and Iati erupted in celebration as he doubled up with ace-high against the ten-high of Palma.

"It takes a lot more than that to beat me," Palma said about his previous beat. "I'm still gonna win this tournament."

"I've heard that before," someone said from the rail.
