Level 34 : 22,500/45,000, 5,625 ante

Action folded around to "mchapman86" who shoved 827,696 from the button and "iknewiwould7" jammed over the top, everyone else folded.

"mchapman86": {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
"iknewiwould7": {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

A {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop put "iknewiwould7" in a strong position. A {9-Clubs} turn brought a straight draw out but the {q-Clubs} was not it and "iknewiwould7" scooped the biggest pot of the tournament, taking the lead as "mchapman86" was eliminated.

Level 32 : 17,500/35,000, 4,375 ante

"Thundy100" limped the small blind and "absinttivaa" elected to raise from the big blind to 140,000. "Thundy100" shoved for over a million and "absinttivaa" called for less, putting in 761,721.

"absinttivaa": {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
"Thundy100": {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop fell {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, leaving "absinttivaa" in need of some cards. A {5-Spades} turn brought a flush draw to light but the {3-Hearts} bricked out the board, failing to improve "absinttivaa" who was eliminated by "Thundy100".
