Level 26

Michael Rocco opened 120,000 in the cutoff and James Chen defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A?6?5?, and Chen check-called a continuation bet of 165,000.
The 8? fell on the turn and both players checked to the J? river, where they checked once again. Chen rolled 8?4? for a pair of eights and Rocco took down the pot with J?10? for a pair of jacks.
Action continued on the following hand.
Rocco opened the hijack to 120,000 and Fahredin Mustafov came along in the big blind.
Both players checked to the Q?7?5?8?3? river where Mustafov bet 60,000 and Rocco quickly called.
Mustafov tabled K?3? for king-high and Rocco tabled K?7? to win with a pair of sevens.
