Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of J♠6♥4♠, Ankit Ahuja bet 175,000 from the cutoff and Dauren Zhaparov called in the small blind before Adam Rayhaan shoved all in for around 2,000,000 from the big blind.

Ahuja called, while Zhaparov got out of the way.

Adam Rayhaan: J♥10♦
Ankit Ahuja: A♥J♦

Both players had hit a jack, but Ahuja was ahead with his ace-kicker. Rayhaan received no help on the 9♦ turn or 6♣ river and was sent to the rail in 23rd place.

After the hand, Zhaparov admitted he also had a jack. "Anyone else have a jack," Ahuja joked as he stacked up nearly 12,000,000.

Alfred Karam: 5♥5♠
Nikolay Baryshnikov: A♠Q♥

On K♣J♠7♥9♠K♥, Karam won the flip and doubled up.

A few hands later, Iulian-Remus Blebea opened to 200,000 from under the gun. In the big blind, Baryshnikov moved all in with his last 650,000 chips, and Blebea called.

Nikolay Baryshnikov: K♣Q♥
Iulian-Remus Blebea: A♦Q♣`

Baryshnikov's last dance didn't go as planned, as Blebea hit a better full house on K♦10♣A♣A♥K♠. Eliminated in 22nd place, Baryshnikov wins $10,375.
