The next hand, Dodd shoved for 3,850,000 from early position with 8♥8♣. David Kaufmann had A♣J♣ in the cutoff and tanked for around 30 seconds before folding, while the rest of the table also got out of the way and Dodd took the pot.

Level 31 Highlights
Eric Afriat raised to 325,000 from the hijack with Q♠J♠ and Aleksejs Ponakovs made the call on the button A♦5♦. Barny Boatman also came along with 10♦9♥ in the big blind and the dealer spread a flop of 7♥6♣4♣.
The action checked to Ponakovs, who slid in a bet of 350,000. Boatman called with his gutshot before Afriat got out of the way.
The turn was the J♦ and saw Boatman lead out for 675,000. Ponakovs was a non-believer and made a to 2,100,000, forcing Boatman to get rid of his hand.
A hand after Eric Afriat's double up, Lorenzo Arduini raised to 300,000 in early position and Sindre Hansen tossed in his last 25,000 chip.
"Good luck," Barny Boatman told him.
"Now you wish me luck," Hansen replied.
"I wished you luck before if you were listening," Boatman added.
Peter Jorgne also called in the big blind as he and Arduini saw a flop of 9♥8♠3♥. Arduini then bet 300,000 and Jorgne called.
Both players checked the 10♠ turn and the 3♣ fell on the river. Arduini then bet 1,200,000 and Jorgne again called.
Arduini showed K♠K♣ and Jorgne mucked 2♠2♣. Hansen had picked up Q♥Q♣ but it wasn't enough to avoid being sent to the rail in ninth place.
Eric Afriat jammed all in from the cutoff for 1,175,000 chips and Sindre Hansen made the call on the button, playing just 25,000 chips more.
Eric Afriat: J♦J♣
Sindre Hansen: A♠Q♠
The flop fell 4♦J♥2♥, hitting Afriat with top set. Hansen's runner-runner opportunities did not come in on the Q♥ turn and the meaningless 8♦ river finished the board.
Afriat doubled up while Hansen was left with a quarter of a small blind to try and spin up on the final table of the Main Event.
