Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Toby Joyce and Sheldon Mayer got into a preflop raising war that ended with Toby Joyce shoving from under the gun for about 1,200,000 and getting snap-called by Sheldon Mayer on the button with a covering stack.

Toby Joyce: K♦K♥ All in
Sheldon Mayer: A♣A♦

"Sh**," Joyce said seeing the brutal cooler.

The 3♣9♠3♠7♣8♦ runout kept Mayer's aces in front and Joyce was eliminated in 23rd place.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Musang Kim opened from under the gun and was called by Kanaan Youkhanna on the button. Antonio Seremet then moved all in for 1,225,000 from the small blind and Malcolm Trayner called cold for the exact same amount all in from the big blind. Both Kim and Youkhanna folded and a showdown was held.

Antonio Seremet: 5♥5♣ All in
Malcolm Trayner: Q♥Q♠ All in

Trayner was way ahead with his ladies, and the 9♣2♥4♥Q♦Q♣ needlessly improved him to running quads to eliminate Seremet in 24th place.

Jun Wen Ooi opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Andrew Hinrichsen called on the button.

The 5♠6♠K♦ flop saw both check to the 10♦ turn.

Ooi bet 110,000, Hinrichsen made it 375,000 and Ooi used a time bank before moving all in. Hinrichsen paused, before mucking his hand, passing a sizeable pot across to Ooi.

Laura Fryer

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Stephen Woodhead was in the cutoff and already on the 3♠6♦5♦7♦ turn with a pot of around 500,000. He was against Victor Dai who was sitting in the big blind.

Action was followed from when Dai jammed, covering Woodheads remaining 655,000 stack. Woodhead called and the players flipped their hands.

Stephen Woodhead: 7♠7♥ All in
Victor Dai: K♦K♣

Woodhead and turned a set of evens, and Dai needed to see a king or diamond to scoop the pot, or a four for the chop.

A 9♣ fell on the river, and Woodhead secured the double up, keeping his seat in Day 4.

Player	Chips	Progress
Victor Dai	2,650,000 150,000	150,000

Stephen Woodhead	1,800,000 900,000	900,000

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Musang Kim opened to 80,000 under the gun and it was folded to Taylor Grube, who shoved for his last 240,000 from the small blind. Kim called to put him at risk and hands were revealed.

Taylor Grube: A♣K♥ All in
Musang Kim: A♥J♦

Grube had Kim dominated and was in good shape to double, but the Q♠2♠J♣ flop paired Kim's jack to pull into the lead.

Neither the 8♠ turn nor 4♣ river changed anything and Grube was eliminated on a bad beat.

Higgs Hits the Rail

Dan O'Hair

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Malcolm Trayner opened first to act and was called by Kanaan Youkhanna on the button. Sam Higgs then shoved for his last 700,000 from the small blind and Trayner four-bet to isolate.

Youkhanna got out of the way and a showdown was held between Trayner and Higgs.

Sam Higgs: K♣Q♦ All in
Malcolm Trayner: K♦K♥

It was the worst-possible matchup for Higgs' king-queen, and the A♥6♦7♣ flop left him drawing to runner-runner.

The 10♥ turn did give Higgs a bit of hope with a draw to Broadway, but the 9♥ river bricked out and Higgs was eliminated.

At the feature table, Chenliang Li was also eliminated.
