Action was picked up after Steven Borella called an all-in bet from Simon Britton for 265,000.
Simon Britton: A?3? 
Steven Borella: 6x6x
Britton was on the brink of elimination until the flop came out A?4?A? meaning Borella would need a six to get the knockout.
The turn would bring the 8? and the river was the 10? which secured the double up for Britton, and left Borella with just over one big blind.

Peter Lynn jammed all in from early position for 465,000, and Dinesh Alt in middle position made the call for his last 250,000. Action folded around, and the two players were heads up, with Alt at risk.
Dinesh Alt: A?J?
Peter Lynn: 10?10?
It was Lynns pair of 10s ahead, but that quickly changed on the 9?A?7? flop, now putting Alt ahead with his pair of aces. The turn 7? was no help, and the A? on the river improved Alt to a full house, giving him the double up.

The $25K Fantasy league is off to a hot start with seven of the 19 teams over 100 points as of Tuesday night. Most of those were thanks to a handful of draftees hitting field bonuses in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions, which attracted 18,409 entrants and became the sixth-largest poker tournament of all time.
Among those to hit the field bonus were Josh Reichard (21st place – 101 points), Adam Hendrix (32nd place – 101 points), Dong Chen (59th place – 101 points), John Riordan (88th place – 101 points), Chris Vitch (113th place – 101 points), Christian Harder (155th place – 101 points), and Ash Gupta (161st place – 101 points).
As of this writing, Team Oz (Gary Benson) is out on top with 245 points, while Team Sternheimer (Philip Sternheimer) sits in second with 199 points. From there it’s Team The Dinkers (179 points), Team Lady Gaga (168 points), Team Girl Dads (144 points), Team Wilson (118 points), and Team TheCoffeeBreakers (107 points) as the seven teams with 100+ points.
PokerNews has been tracking $25K Fantasy players in our live updates, and has even made it simple to follow the action by tagging all players with a $25K Fantasy badge.
