Michael Soyza was all in from the cutoff for 58,500 and Sam Greenwood reshoved for about 140,000 from the button. Shan Huang thought for a bit in the small blind, but he eventually said, "Alright, I fold."

Soyza: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Greenwood: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Greenwood pulled ahead on the river to knock Soyza out.

Zhang Busts to Wolff, Re-Enters

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Michael Zhang
Michael Zhang

George Wolff bet an unknown amount from the big blind in what looked like a three-bet pot on a {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. Michael Zhang raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Wolff shoved for 103,000 or so effective. Zhang quickly called off with {j-Spades}{9-Spades} but needed help against {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. He bricked out on the {8-Spades} turn and {4-Diamonds} river.

Zhang reentered shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, Toby Lewis joined for the first time and Michael Soyza reentered.

The {j-Spades} turn opened up some chopping outs for Burns, but the {3-Spades} didn't do it.

Lewis Times Two

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The board read {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Toby Lewis checked to Mike Watson who bet 10,000 into about 30,000 from early position. Lewis called.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Lewis checked again. Watson bet enough to cover Lewis' remaining 38,500 and Lewis snap-called, showing {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Watson exposed {q-Hearts}{x-} before sending his hand into the muck.

Addamo Puzzles Wolff

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

George Wolff was in the small blind, checking the {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop when the action was picked up. Michael Addamo bet 17,000 under the gun and Wolff called.

On the {5-Spades} turn, Addamo sized his second barrel at 60,000 and Wolff check-called again, leaving himself with 125,500.

The river was the {9-Clubs}, Wolff checked, and Addamo moved all in with a covering stack. Wolff used all his timebanks but he eventually couldn't talk himself into calling. He slid his hand towards the dealer and Addamo raked in the hefty pot.
