Manuel Saavedra opened to 16,000 on the button and Motokatsu Uhara three-bet to 58,000 in the big blind. Saavedra called.

The flop landed {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Uhara bet 49,000. Saavedra called. Uhara then checked on the {7-Clubs} turn and Saavedra bet 40,000. Uhara called.

The river brought the {a-Hearts} and Uhara took the opportunity to lead all in with his stack of 129,000. Saavedra went deep into the tank as the dealer grabbed his time banks one at a time. After using his fourth and final time extension, Saavedra laid it down.

Peters Dodges Everything to Double

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Emmanuel Lopez raised to 18,000 from early position before David Peters shoved for his last 63,000. The rest of the table folded and Lopez confirmed the amount before throwing in the chips to call.

David Peters: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Emmanuel Lopez: {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop gave Lopez some counterfeit outs to go with his two overcards, while the {6-Diamonds} on the turn also gave him a straight draw. The river, though, fell a harmless {a-Diamonds} and Peters made a full house to double up.

Lampropulos Takes From Loeliger

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Maria Lampropulos
Maria Lampropulos

Maria Lampropulos opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and Paulina Loeliger three-bet to 41,000 on the button. Action folded back to Lampropulos who called.

The dealer spread the {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and Lampropulos check-called for 35,000. The duo ended up checking down the {5-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river.

Lampropulos flipped over {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}, and Loeliger looked at the cards and the board for some time before eventually sending her hand into the muck to concede the pot.

Harutyunyan Doubles Two Hands In a Row

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action started when Tigran Harutyunyan moved all in from early position for 62,000 and only Benjamin Diebold made the call from the cutoff.

Tigran Harutyunyan: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Benjamin Diebold: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Diebold announced "I have a straight", while he laughed, knowing Harutyunyan had the bigger one and the winning hand.

On the very next hand Harutyunyan found himself all in again when he shoved for 144,000 from under the gun and Igor Pihela made the call.

Tigran Harutyunyan: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Igor Pihela: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Harutyunyan was well ahead with the better kicker and when the board ran out {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}, it was the pair of queens with an ace kicker that took the pot for Harutyunyan who doubled up two hands in a row.

Three Players Try to Take Out Rajkovic

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Adi Rajkovic was down to 17,000 when he moved all in from the hijack and received three callers, including Ibrahim Ghassan on the button and blinds Xuan Liu and Alessandro Grilli.

All three players checked down the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board and Liu turned over {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for two pair. Ghassan and Grilli both mucked as Rajkovic stood up from his seat before exposing {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and making his way to the exit.

Michael Wang
Michael Wang

Hamed Sedini opened from the hijack for 18,000 and Jack Salter made the call from the small blind. Michael Wang elected on a three-bet to 60,000 and only Sedini came along.

The dealer fanned out {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Wang continued for 40,000 and Sedini quickly called. On the {5-Hearts} turn Wang kept the aggression up with another bet, this time to 60,000.

Sedini went deep in the tank, using two time bank cards, before reluctantly making the fold.

"Did you fold jacks?", said another tablemate, trying to get information from Sedini who didn't answer the question.

Chang Fails to Make the Pay Jump

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Carlos Chang raised to 16,000 before Chino Rheem reraised to 60,000 on the button. Chang then four-bet to 180,000 and Rheem moved all in.

"I said all in. Let's go," Rheem said as Chang, with around 20,000 behind, began tanking.

"He's waiting for the pay jump. It's at 143. It's impossible," tablemate Giuliano Bendinelli said as the tournament clock showed 148 remaining. Chang eventually called.

Carlos Chang: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Chino Rheem: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Chang hit the {a-Diamonds} in the window, but it was followed by the {8-Clubs}{j-Spades} as Rheem made a set of jacks. The {9-Clubs} on the turn gave Chang some hope of making a straight, but the {2-Hearts} on the river didn't give him the help he needed as Rheem sent him to the rail, short of the pay jump.

Aces Up for Margereson

Scott Margereson
Scott Margereson

With over 100,000 in the pot on a {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, Daniel Camelo Da Silva check-called in the hijack for 40,000 against Scott Margereson on the button.

Da Silva again check-called for 147,000 on the {k-Hearts} turn, and the {4-Spades} completed the board. Da Silva checked and Margereson used a time extension before checking as well.

Da Silva showed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, but it was no good as Margereson tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} to claim the pot.
