Level 19, Blinds: 1,250/2,500 (300)

"kiskutya23" was nearly felted earlier, but has come roaring back with aces at just the right time. They shoved for 41,905 from early position, and "Jan.14" looked them up from the big blind.

"kiskutya23": {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
"Jan.14": {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

"Jan.14" turned outs on the {5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} board, but the river didn't help and "kiskutya23" is suddenly back in the game.

Big Stacks Go At It

Level 17, Blinds: 800/1,600 (200)

"carloshmz" and "Jan.14" are two of the biggest stacks in the game, and that's still the case, but it's a bit more lopsided now. "Jan.14" raised under the gun to 3,200 and "carloshmz" defended their big blind with a call.

On the {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, "carloshmz" check-called for 6,400. They check-called again for 8,000 on the {10-Clubs} turn and they both checked the {a-Spades} river. "carloshmz" tabled {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the best hand on the flop, but "Jan.14" turned better with {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.
