Hand #69: Jimmy Guerrero woke up with the {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} in the small blind and raised it to 425,000. Adrien Allain picked up the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} in the big blind, re-raising to 1,150,000. Guererro shoved and Allain called immediately.

The {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop put Guererro behind, the {6-Diamonds} turn didn't help and the {10-Clubs} sent Guerrero to the rail third.

Allain will now enter heads up with Jan Bendik holding a 2:1 lead, but not before they take a 20-minute break.

Hands #60-61: Bendik Moves Up

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #60: Adrien Allain got a walk in the big blind.

Hand #61: Jimmy Guerrero woke up with the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} on the button and made it 350,000. Jan Bendik defended the big blind with the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The {4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop gave Bendik two pair and he checked. Guerrero bet 375,000, Bendik check-raised to 925,000, and Guerrero re-raised to 1,850,000.

Bendik shoved and Guerrero snap-called, asking for a four when he saw the cards.

The {2-Spades} turn gave him even more outs to rail Bendik, but the {q-Spades} river wasn't one of them and he doubled, leapfrogging Guerrero on the leader board.

Hand #50: Action folded to small blind Pierre Calamusa and he announced all in for 3,335,000 with {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Big blind Adrien Allain snap called with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to make a pot of 6,795,000.
