Blinds: 50,000-100,000 (no ante)

9.45pm: Details. Give me details.
The details of that big hand at the end of the level: Marc Goodwin raised to 250,000 pre-flop and Carter Phillips three-bet to 700,000. Goodwin called and things were eerily familiar. The board came 9♦ 8♥ K♣ and Phillips bet 800,000, which Goodwin called. The turn was 9♣ and this time they checked. And when Phillips bet 1,400,000 on the 6♣ river, Goodwin got out of the way.

That is the end of that and we go into level 30 after 10 minutes elsewhere.

9.40pm: Big hand to end the level
Carter Phillips ended the level winning a pot worth about two million. Full details of that are coming, as are chip counts, etc., in what is becoming an epic heads up duel.

The turn was A♠ and Goodwin moved all in. Call. The hand surprised a few: Goodwin had 4♥ 10♥ for two pair and Phillips was drawing to only two outs with his 6♥ 2♥ .
