Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Antonio Galiana raised to 1,600,000 in the hijack with 9♠9♥, and Daniel Savas called in the small blind holding K♦2♦; Shaun Deeb also defended J♠10♦ in the big blind. Three ways to the Q♠10♥8♥ flop, Savas checked, and Deeb pondered his next move before he pushed all in for 10,800,000 with his pair of tens. Galiana got out of the way, and so did Savas.

"Let's go, Shaun!" the inevitable shout by Mike Thorpe came from the rail immediately while the pot was pushed towards Deeb.

Rami Hammoud then raised to 1,700,000 with 10♦10♣, and Hossein Ensan called from his big blind to the A♠Q♦7♠ flop. Hammoud bet 1,000,000, and Ensan folded 5♦5♣.

Hossein Ensan raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff, Rami Hammoud three-bet to 8,200,000 in the big blind, and Ensan folded.

Michael Gagliano then opened to 1,800,000 in the cutoff and Hammoud three-bet again, making it 7,200,000 from the small blind. Gagliano also folded.

The next hand, Shaun Deeb raised to 1,600,000 under the gun and Ensan called in middle position. Antonio Galiana picked up K♥K♣ and three-bet to 5,600,000 in the cutoff, and Hammoud four-bet to 12,500,000 on the button.

Deeb and Ensan quickly folded, but Galiana then moved all in for 46,100,000. Hammoud tanked for more than a minute before giving up Q♥Q♦, and the Spanish rail erupted in celebration as Galiana took down the big pot.

Shaun Deeb raised it up to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Michael Gagliano three-bet jammed for 13,800,000 in the small blind. The action folded back to Deeb and he called for essentially half of his stack.

Michael Gagliano: 10♠10♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♣J♠

The rail was silently awaiting the board and even "Crazy Mike" didn't say a single word. It stayed silent throughout the Q♥9♥6♠9♠K♦ board, after which only one spectator celebrated: Daniel Strelitz.

"Thank you Danny," Gagliano said as he turned around briefly before stacking up the chips.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Lucas Jumalon raised to 1,600,000, and Malcolm Trayner called.

Jumalon continued on the flop of J♥7♠A♦, and Trayner bet 1,800,000. Jumalon called.

Jumalon checked again on the 6♥ turn. Trayner bet 3,500,000. Jumalon called.

Jumalon checked once more on the A♠ river, and Trayner checked back. Jumalon showed A♥4♥, and it was good to win the pot as his rail roared in celebration.
