"Gusfraba99" Joins Top Contenders

Level 27 : 17,500/35,000, 4,375 ante

"StuntSoHard" made it 75,000 total from second position and only "Gusfraba99" made the call out of the big blind.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and both players checked their option. The turn was the {7-Clubs}, and "Gusfraba99" now took the lead betting 76,255. "StuntSoHard" made the call, and did so again when faced with a bet of 224,890 after the {K-Spades} river.

"Gusfraba99" showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the rivered two pair, and that was enough to drag the pot.

"MechaREcorta" Flops a Boat to Beat Kings

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

"LevelingMode" raised to 62,800 from first position and "buddychoc" called on the button. Argentina's "MechaREcorta" had bigger plans and moved in from the small blind for a total of 668,546 chips, and "LevelingMode" had no trouble committing his stack with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

The Kings were very much ahead of the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} of "MechaREcorta", but the flop changed that equation as it landed {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and with the flopped Full House, "MechaREcorta" could rake in the 1,4 million chips pot.

"Buddychoc" Takes Over Chip Lead

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

LevelingMode made it 55,000 to go preflop and only "buddychoc" in the big blind called to set up a clash between two deep stacks.

The flop brought {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades} and "buddychoc" check-called a bet of 51,250 from the opposition. The turn {8-Diamonds} prompted two checks, before "LevelingMode" decided to stab at the pot after the river was revealed to be {J-Diamonds}.

"Buddychoc" instantly called the big bet of 200,000 and was shown {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, which wasn't enough to claim the pot against {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and "LevelingMode" dropped in ranks.

Flush Over Flush

Level 25 : 12,500/25,000, 3,125 ante

"Pabloreyes2" raised it up preflop and received a call from "MechaREcorta" in the big blind. The flop came down {6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, and that was just what the doctor ordered for both players. "MechaREcorta" checked his option, and didn't hesitate to call when "pabloreyes2" overbet pushed all in just seconds later.

"Pabloreyes2": {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
"MechaREcorta": {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Bot had flopped flush draws, but "MechaREcorta"'s pair of Jacks to go along with the draw was giving him the better end of the virtual coinflip. The turn changed everything as the {4-Clubs} rolled off, and "pabloreyes2" could collect the pot without even sweating the river.
