Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #26: Dan Smith opened with a raise of 320,000 and Scott Mahin called from the big blind as the flop landed {10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}.

Hand #27: From under the gun, Jorryt van Hoof opened to 375,000 and collected the blinds and antes.

Hand #28: Scott Palmer opened the cutoff to 320,000 and Jorryt van Hoof called in the big blind.

The dealer dropped a {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and Palmer continued for 320,000 which was enough for van Hoof to toss his cards into the muck.

Feature Table Hands #18-23: Keranen Gets Shippy

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #18: Bruno Politano raised to 350,000 in the cutoff and took the pot.

Hand #19: The cutoff opened again, and this time it was Kyle Keranen to 330,000. Martin Jacobson decided to take a flop in position, and Felix Stephensen joined the fun in the big blind. The flop came {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Stephen checked to Keranen, who bet 450,000. Jacobson folded, and Stephensen called. The {a-Clubs} turned, and Keranen took his time deciding on a bet, choosing a big one: all in for 1,820,000. After tanking for a few minutes, Stephensen decided against putting Keranen at risk.

Hand #20: Keranen raised to 335,000 in middle position, and Andrey Zaichenko repopped it to 850,000 on the button. Keranen shoved all in, and Zaichenko got a count before letting his hand go.

Hand #21: Mark Newhouse won the pot with an under-the-gun raise.

Hand #22: Big blind Newhouse called a raise to 350,000 from Jacobson in middle position, and the flop came {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Newhouse check-called 400,000, and he checked the {q-Clubs} turn. Jacobson's turn barrel was 750,000, and that got a quick fold from Newhouse.

Hand #23: Nobody volunteered any full bets into this pot, as Newhouse completed the blind and Politano checked. Action checked to the river, at which point the board was {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Newhouse then fired out a bet and took down the pot after a quick Politano fold.

Table 2 Hands #23-25: Mahin Shoves

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #23: Scott Mahin opened to 350,000 and William Pappaconstantinou three-bet next to act to 800,000. The action folded back to Mahin, and he made the call to see a {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop.

Mahin then open-jammed for 1,165,000 and Pappaconstantinou went into the tank for several minutes before eventually folding his hand.

Hand #24: From the cutoff, Luis Velador opened to 375,000 and Dan Smith made the call. The flop came {3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Smith checked and Velador bet out 425,000 which prompted a fold from Smith.

Hand #25: Dan Smith limped in from the small blind, Scott Palmer checked his option, and the flop came {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Smith led out with a bet of 175,000, and that was enough to prompt a fold from Palmer.

Dan Sindelar
Dan Sindelar

Hand #27: Oscar Kemps opened to 340,000 from early position only to have Iaron Lightbourne three-bet the action to 875,000. Action folded back to Kemps who folded as well.

Hand #28: Thomas Sarra Jr raised to 350,000 from early position and found calls from Yorane Kerignard in the cutoff and Christopher Greaves in the big blind. The flop came down {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Greaves checked. Sarra continued for 460,000 and Kerignard called. Greaves got out of the way, allowing the {4-Diamonds} to hit the turn. Sarra checked, Kerignard fired 505,000 and Sarra instantly announced an all-in raise. Kerignard threw his hands up in the air and then instantly mucked his cards.

Hand #29: Dan Sindelar opened to 350,000 from early position and it folded to Leif Force on the button. He cut out a three-bet to 800,000 and it came back to Sindelar who called. The flop was {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Sindelar check-called a continuation bet of 675,000 from Force.

The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Sindelar checked for a second time. Force fired one million and Sindelar called once more. The {6-Hearts} hit the river and Sindelar checked a final time. Force thought for a moment before moving 1.6 million forward. Sindelar replied by shipping all in and suddenly Force was thinking for his tournament life. He clenched his fist and then flicked his cards into the muck. Sindelar picked up the pot.

Table 3 Hands #23-26: Big Double-Up For Sarra Jr

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Thomas Sarra Jr
Thomas Sarra Jr

Hand #23: Leif Force raised from the hijack to 350,000 and Dan Sindelar called from the big blind. The flop came down {9-Spades}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and Sindelar check-folded when Force bet 350,000.

Hand #24: Andoni Larrabe raised to 325,000 from early position and both blinds called. The flop came down {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and the action was checked to Larrabe who bet 375,000. Dan Sindelar check-raised to 925,000, Iaron Lightbourne folded and Larrabe made the call.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the river, the {J-Spades}, Sindelar bet 1,925,000 and Larrabe quickly folded his cards.

Hand #25: Thomas Sarra Jr raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and he took down this pot.

Hand #26: Sarra raised to 355,000 from the hijack and the action folded to Andoni Larrabe in the big blind. "How much do you have?" Larrabe asked Sarra, who responded he had a little over four million.

"All in," Larrabe then announced.

"All in?" Sarra questioned his opponent. "That's a big bet, a very big bet. I need to think about this one," Sarra continued.

After a brief pause Sarra continued thinking out loud and said, "That's a really big bet, why would you do that?"

Another 10 seconds went by and then Sarra called.

Sarra: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Larrabe: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

"Y'all are crazy!" Leif Force yelled in excitement.

"Holy s***!" Oscar Kemps added.

Everyone at the table started laughing, but Sarra was indeed all in for his tournament life.

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Sarra found himself a very big double-up.

"Grande cojones!" Kemps yelled as Sarra raked in this big, "Big hairy balls!" the Dutchman continued as Larrabe shook his head in disbelief. The Spaniard who started the day with a very big stack is now among the shorter ones at this table.

Hand #18: Dan Smith opened to 325,000 in the cutoff and Scott Palmer moved all in from the button for 2,735,000.

Smith went deep into the tank for several minutes. His leg was shaking, he dropped his head down to the table, and his sunglasses nearly fell off a few times before he eventually folded his hand.

Feature Table Hands #13-17: Some Decent Hands for Zaichenko

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #13: Andrey Zaichenko raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and Craig McCorkell called from the big blind to see a flop of {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. McCorkell checked, Zaichenko bet 450,000, and the Brit called. After the dealer burned and turned the {7-Hearts}, both players checked and the {J-Clubs} completed the board on the river. McCorkell checked, Zaichenko bet 740,000, and McCorkell called. Zaichenko tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and it was good as McCorkell mucked.

Hand #14: Martin Jacobson opened for 350,000 from middle position and Felix Stephensen called from the cutoff. Mark Newhouse came along from the big blind and three players saw a flop of {2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Two checks put action on Stephensen, and he bet 450,000. It did the trick as both his opponents folded.

Hand #15: Zaichenko raised to 350,000 from middle position, McCorkell called from the button, and Newhouse came along from the small blind to make it three-way action to the {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Newhouse was first to act and led out for 450,000, which prompted Zaichenko to raise to 1.1 million. McCorkell released his hand, and Newhouse folded to the raise.

Hand #16: Felix Stephensen raised to 350,000 from middle position and was met by a three-bet to 800,000 from Eddy Sabat in the hijack. Action folded back to Stephensen and he released his hand.

Hand #17: Zaichenko raised to 350,000 under the gun, Martin Jacobson called from the big blind, and the two saw a flop of {2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Both players checked, the {Q-Hearts} appeared on the turn, and Jacobson bet 525,000. Zaichenko called and the {4-Spades} completed the board on the river. Jacobson checked, Zaichenko bet 750,000, and Jacobson called. Zaichenko tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a pair of aces, and it was good as Jacobson sent his cards to the muck.
