Jared Bleznick raised to 225,000 from early position and Tyler Brown called.

The flop came K♥J♠Q♠ and Brown checked over to Bleznick, who bet another 100,000. Brown spent about 45 seconds in the tank before announcing pot to 875,000.

Livello 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised the pot preflop for 175,000 from the cutoff. Jesse Lonis was on the button and made the call.

The flop fell 3♦4♠10♠ and the rest of Deeb's 135,000 chips also went in. Lonis made a quick call and Deeb said he was happy with how he got it in.

Shaun Deeb: Ax10♦5♦6♠
Jesse Lonis: K♣Q♦J♠6♦

Deeb held top pair while Lonis had some backdoor outs and overcards. Deeb's tens would remain the best hand on the 4♣9♦ runout, however, and he doubled up.

Livello 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

There have been some chip changes over on table 141 as Pakinai Lisawad stormed ahead of Krasimir Yankov. Another showdown unfolded when two players with middling stacks got it in and Rick Salomon was at risk but barely covered by Aaron Katz.

Rick Salomon: A♠10♠10♦3♥
Aaron Katz:A♥A♣Q♣8♣

The board ran out 9♥5♠2♥6♥9♦ and the aces held to knock out Salomon.

Some table chatter broke out and Katz said "he can afford it" while talking with the others and Keith Lehr one table over.

"He is the biggest winner in poker ... he plays against a billionaire every day," Katz added when referring to Salomon.
