Level 28

After a preflop betting war, Jonathan Vuong moved all in and was called by Rakan Abusaleh to put him at risk.
Jonathan Vuong: Q♦Q♣
Rakan Abusaleh: 7♣7♥
Vuong was a big favorite with his pocket queens, but the flop of 6♣4♠5♣ was trouble for him as Abusaleh flopped a straight draw.
"Come on, dealer! One time!" Abusaleh shouted, vivid images of a king falling on the river earlier to keep Vuong alive running in his mind.
This time, Abusaleh was heard as the 8♠ immediately fell on the turn to give him the straight and left Vuong drawing dead. The board completed with the J♦ and Abusaleh was awarded the pot while Vuong was eliminated in 10th place.
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Mohammed Bassam open-shoved for around 1,300,000 and then Brant Jolly shoved for much more.
The action was then on Rakan Abusaleh who looked down at the 10♣ and then sweated the second card baccarat-style, revealing the 10♠. he then went deep into the tank to make this decision. he eventually decided to make the fold and the other two players tabled their hands.
Mohammed Bassam: KxQx
Brant Jolly: J♣J♠
Bassam would need to improve to stay alive in this flip, but the flop came jack-high to give Jolly top set of jacks. The runout changed nothing and Bassam was eliminated in 11th place while Jolly raked in the pot and Abusaleh let out a huge sigh of relief and patted himself on the back.
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
After an open from Alejandro Jauregui to 250,000, Michael Bahls three-bet to 585,000, and then Trevor Lewis four-bet to 1,000,000.
Jauregui quickly got out of the way and Bahls moved all in for a little more, which Lewis called.
Michael Bahls: A♦5♦
Trevor Lewis: AxJx
The flop came out jack-high to give Lewis a big lead, but Bahls picked up some outs with the 5x hit the turn. Unfortunately, he was not able to catch a third five on the river and he was sent to the railin 12th place.
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
After some preflop back-and-forth, all the chips between Mohammed Bassam ad Ryan Freeman got into the middle, with Bassam at risk.
Mohammed Bassam: 8♣8♥
Ryan Freeman: 6♠6♣
"Eights again?!" several people laughed as Bassam has doubled every time with eights, and was in a good spot to do so again.
Sure enough, he even flopped ANOTHER set when the board ran out 8♦A♣K♣K♥K♦ to give him the bigger full house for the double.
Level 28
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
After an open from Rakan Abusaleh, Jonathan Vuong moved all in for around 1,300,000.
"Well, I don't like it, but here we go," Abusaleh said as he made the call to put Vuong at risk.
Jonathan Vuong: A♦10♠
Rakan Abusaleh: A♥Q♣
Vuong would need some help to stay alive, but the flop of Q♠J♠6♥ gave Abusaleh top pair.
"Oh man, no king, NO KING!" Abusaleh pleaded as Vuong did have a gutshot straight draw, and sure enough, the runout came 7♠K♦ to give him Broadway for the double.
"Nooooo!!" Abusaleh groaned and the table shook their heads.

Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
The action was picked up on a heads-up turn of 7♠8♣3♣10♣ when Rakan Abusaleh moved all in and was called by Maxx Holland with less.
Holland flipped over 9♥9♦ for a pair with an open-ended straight draw but unfortunately for him, he was drawing stone dead as Abusaleh tabled A♣Q♣ for the nut flush.
The board completed with the K♦ and Abusaleh was pushed the pot to jump to over 8,000,000 while Holland was eliminated in 13th.
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
On a flop of 9♠10♥10♣, Maxx Holland checked, Joel Trevino bet 175,000, and Holland check-raised to 450,000.
After some thought, Trevino just called and the two went to the river J♣. Holland promptly moved all in and Trvino-snap-called to put himself at risk.
Joel Trevino: 9♦9♥
Maxx Holland: 10♠8♣
"Wow..." Holland said in disbelief as he saw he was in bad shape, although he was still very much alive as any eight, ten, or jack would give him a superior full house. He did improve to a straight on the river 7♥, but it was not enough and Trevino was pushed the big pot for a double.
