Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The cards were on their backs in an all-in hand between Max Tavepholjalern and Kenneth Douglas, with Tavepholjalern the player at risk.
Max Tavepholjalern: J♥J♣
Kenneth Douglas: K♥K♣
Tavepholjalern would need some help with the underpair, but the runout of 4♣7♥Q♦6♠10♦ wouldn't suffice, sending him to the payout desk.

Devastation For Pearlman, A Roman Has Taken Over
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
On a turn reading Q♣7♦6♦A♠, Cornel Cimpan was already all in from a prior street in a pot that had swelled to well over a million. Jennifer Pearlman went all in for her remaining chips and Cornel Roman was the only one left with a decision. Eventually he made his decision to call and destiny was just a river card away. If one of the gentlemen were to win, they would win the battle of the Cornels.
Cornel Cimpan: 8♦9♦
Jennifer Pearlman: 7♣7♠
Cornel Roman: A♦K♦
An incredible cooler of a board, as Cimpan had the open-ended straight flush draw, Pearlman had a set of sevens, and Roman had top pair with the nut flush draw.
None of the players seemed surprised by the others' hands and Pearlman immediately was attempting to hold, shouting, "No diamond! Pair the board!" as the anticipation built for the river. A sharp red river in the form of the 3♦ appeared and it was a dagger to the heart for Pearlman as Roman completed his flush, achieved a massive double knock out, and is now among the chip leaders.

McEwen Felts Persinger
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Lori Persinger in the cutoff was all in and at risk against Preston McEwen in the big blind.
Lori Persinger: K♠Q♣
Preston McEwen: K♥2♦
Persinger was in a good spot to double, that is until the board ran out K♣2♥7♣5♠4♥ to improve McEwen to two pair and leave Persinger heading to the payout desk, snapping a photo of the bad beat as she left.
