Nível 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened to 500,000 on the button and was called by Justin Liberto in the big blind.

Liberto check-called a continuation of 350,000 from Reard on the 10♥5♠2♠ flop.

Both players checked through the 7♠ turn to the Q♠ river at which point Liberto bet a hefty 1,125,0000. Reard thought for a moment before flicking in the call holding J♥10♠. Liberto could only show A♥9♣ for the bluff to send the pot over to his opponent.

Nível 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

AJ Kelsall shoved from the small blind for Stephen Chidwick to ask for a count. The dealer confirmed Kelsall held 3,825,000 which covered the 3,700,000 Chidwick had. He considered it for a bit and then made the call for his tournament life.

Stephen Chidwick: A♣5♥
AJ Kelsall: J♥10♦

The flop came K♥A♦K♠ for Chidwick to hit two pair.

The turn was the 9♣ and changed nothing as Kelsall still needed a queen to take Chidwick out.

The 10♣ on the river completed the board for Kelsall to be left with a mere 125,000.
