Level 21: 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante

Vlad Mezheritzky moved all in for 305,000 from under the gun and Bradley Snider moved all in for about 2,200,000. Koray Aldemir folds from the small blind and James Gilbert takes a few moments in the big blind.

“Give me a second guys,” said Gilbert as he stands up from his seat.

Gilbert took a closer look at how much Aldemir has, even though he already folded.

“I’m just trying to get a grasp on the dynamic of the whole hand,” said Gilbert.

Gilbert eventually folded and the cards were tabled. Mezheritzky showed 9d9s and was flipping with Snider’s AsKd.

The flop was AdKhTd and Snider flopped top two pair to take the lead. The turn was the 2s and the river was the Qh to eliminate Mezheritzky in 11th place.

There is a slight pause in the action as the final 10 players redraw for seats at the unofficial final table.

Bradley Snider – 2,650,000 (110 bb)
