[user127999]

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Sheraz Nasir is the new chipleader after cracking Lu Zhang's aces with a miracle river card.

Levi Stevens made it 100,000 and Gary Lucci and Nasir called before Zhang three-bet to 425,000.

Only Nasir called and they went heads-up to a flop. Nasir checked, Zhang led for 350,000 and Nasir check-raised to one million chips.

Zhang respoded by shipping it in and Nasir called all in for his tournament life holding for top pair. But Zhang had once again and looked to be running away with this thing as the turn fell.

Then suddenly, the crowd gasped as the dealer burned and turned over the river, giving Nasir trip kings, the pot, and the chip lead.

With that, Level 26 ended and the players headed off on a 10-minute break.
