Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Florian Ribouchon opened in early position to 600,000 and picked up a call from Michael McNicholas in the big blind to see a K?5?6? flop. McNicholas check-called Ribouchon's continuation for 400,000.

The same action happened on the 2? turn, this time for 1,100,000. The 5? completed the board, and after a last check from McNicholas, Ribouchon sent a third barrel in the middle worth 2,500,000. McNicholas didn't take long to fold.

Perry Triples Up

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jacob Perry shoved from the middle position for 2,900,000 and was called by Andreas Kniep on the button. Powen Fang three-bet to 6,500,000 from the small blind for the big blind to fold. Kniep tanked for a while and then made the call.

The flop came 2?4?Q?, Fang continued with a bet of 3,500,000 and that was enough for Kniep to let his hand go so the cards could go on their backs.

Jacob Perry: A?Q?
Powen Fang: A?J?

Perry had flopped top pair. The rest of the board ran out with the 10? on the turn and the 3? on the river for Perry to hold and triple up.
