Hand #22  –  Owen Crowe raises from the cutoff to 90,000, winning the blinds and antes.

Hand #23  –  Taylor McFarland min-raises under the gun to 80,000, Keven Stammen moves all in from the button for 780,000, and McFarland thinks for a bit before he folds. Stammen takes the pot.

Hand #24  –  Jeremy Kottler raises under the gun to 90,000, winning the blinds and antes.

Hand #25  –  Massoud Eskandari min-raises from middle position to 80,000, and Taylor McFarland calls from the small blind. The flop comes [9c8c8d], McFarland checks, Eskandari bets 225,000, and McFarland calls. The turn card is the [7s], and both players check. The river card is the [Ac], and they check again.

McFarland shows [JdJh] to win the pot with two pair, jacks and eights, and Eskandari mucks.

Massoud Eskandari  –  3,620,000  (90 bb)
