Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Team Wilson shoved all in from the cutoff for 118,000 and was called by Team Koo in the big blind.

Team Wilson: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Team Koo: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} to give Team Koo trip jacks on the flop to eliminate Team Wilson in 19th place.

The 18 remaining teams will now be redrawn to the final two tables and a seat draw will follow.

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Team Levy raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Team Lamphere three-bet to 100,000 in the small blind. Team Bellance shoved all in for 134,000 in total. Team Levy quickly folded and Team Lamphere looked like he regretted raising.

"Should have let me deal with it." Team Levy said.

Team Lamphere asked for a count and the dealer confirmed the amount, they then called.

Team Bellance: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Team Lamphere: {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Team Bellance started celebrating a bit. But then the {a-Spades} came on the turn to give Team Lamphere the higher pair and Team Bellance screamed. The {5-Spades} on the river didn't mean anything and Team Bellance was sent to the rail in 20th place.

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Sasha Liu has been giving herself daily challenges and tweeting about them to keep herself accountable. She explains how this idea came to fruition and why she continues to do it. Maybe it is an attempt for Sasha to stay sane while grinding poker all summer, but has it worked?

The board ran out {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Diamonds} to give Team Pritchett a straight on the river to more than double up.

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Stephen Garner of Team Sluzinski raised and Team Koo defended in the big blind. On the {10-}{10-}{6-} rainbow flop, Team Koo check-called a bet before both teams checked on the {5-} turn.

On the {3-} river, Team Hoo led for 125,000. Garner thought for a minute before he made the call.

Team Sluzinski: {k-}{9-}
Team Koo: {k-}{7-}

Both teams had a pair with king-high, but Garner took the pot with his kicker after he made the right read.

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Team Ikeuchi raised to 25,000 from mid-position and was called by Team Gagnon on the button and Team Halfa in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, both Team Halfa and Team Ikeuchi checked. Team Gagnon bet 35,000 and only Team Ikeuchi called.

The turn brought them the {8-Hearts}, Team Ikeuchi checked again and Team Gagnon continued with a bet of 80,000 this time. Team Ikeuchi checked how much it was for, cut out calling chips and then made the call.

The river completed the board with the {6-Clubs}, Team Ikeuchi checked for the last time. Team Gagnon bet 105,000. Team Ikeuchi looked at their stack and then decided to shove for 158,000 in total. Team Gagnon asked the dealer how much more it was, the dealer confirmed the total amount again. Team Gagnon called.

Team Ikeuchi tabled {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for flopped quad kings and that beat the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} of Team Gagnon who had rivered a flush.
