Players are on their last 15 minute break of the night. Play will continue for two more levels after break before play finishes for the night.

Doan Back on Top

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Christopher Doan
Christopher Doan

Hand details retold to PokerNews after Christophr Doan was seen collecting another huge pot, the rest of Joel Vazquez's chips:

The flop read {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}. All the chips ended up in the middle after a series of raises and an all in shove.

Doan had the {a-Spades}{4-Spades} while Vazquez had {7-}{4-} off suit.

The turn and river missed both draws and it was Doan's ace-high that held as the best hand to eliminate Vazquez and score the huge pot.
