The board ran out {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to see Jafari double to 150,000 as Jewett slips to 29,000.

The following hand Jewitt pushed holding {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and managed to flop two-pair and triple up.

Mehdi Alaei Doubles

On a flop of {J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} Shoaib Makani lead out for 25,000, only to have Mehdi Alaei make it 80,000 to go.

With the action back on Makani, he re-raised all in and Alaei making the call for his tournament life.

Makani: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Alaei: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

With Makani behind but drawing to a flush or two-pair he would see the {2-Clubs} fall on the turn and {Q-Clubs} on the river to slip to 66,000 as Alaei doubles to 523,000 in chips.

Madsen Sweats Double

Now one of the short stacks
Now one of the short stacks
Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} both blinds got into a raising war to see Mikkel Madsen all in for his tournament life against Mats Gavatin.

Madsen: {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Gavatin: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

With Gavatin drawing to any three, four or diamond, the {A-Clubs} on the river would be one card he was hoping to avoid.

As Gavatin slips to 140,000, Madsen climbs to 370,000 in chips.
