Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Maher Achour made it 500,000 from middle position and Chady Ojeil defended his big blind.
The flop came K♥10♥10♣ and Ojeil check-called a bet of 300,000 from Achour to see the 7♣ turn, where both checked.
A J♠ dropped on the river and after Ojeil checked again, Achour bet 900,000. Ojeil tossed in his stack of time banks and used one of them before he ultimately called.
Achour then showed A♠8♠ for a bluff, and Ojeil's K♦7♦ was good for a pair of kings.

Chady Ojeil made it 550,000 from early position and Han Han three-bet from the next seat to 1,800,000. When it got back to Ojeil, he looked at the stack of Han Han and saw he had a little over 4,000,000 total, then shoved. Han Han snap-called.
Han Han: 9♦9♠ 
Chady Ojeil: A♦K♦
Han Han was in the lead with his pair and made a set on the J♠6♠9♥ flop to extend his lead. Only running cards could help Ojeil, but the 5♣ turn left him drawing dead. A meaningless 5♠ river gave Han Han a boat, and he doubled up.

The action folded around to Maher Achour in the small blind, who made it 700,000. Nenad Dukic was in the big blind and called.
Both saw the flop of 7♥3♥J♠ where Achour decided to lead out for 375,000, and Dukic called to see a 9♠ on the turn. Achour checked, Dukic announced a bet of 1,500,000. and Achour called.
A K♣ completed the runout and after Achour checked, Dukic announced a bet of 10,000,000. Achour had just over 7,000,000 remaining and burned through a few time banks before he ultimately decided to fold.

Nenad Dukic raised to 500,000 from the hijack and Leonid Orman shoved for 4,200,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Dukic quickly called.
Leonid Orman: J♥10♥
Nenad Dukic: Q♠Q♦
Orman was way behind with his hand but did pick up a double gutshot on the 7♥K♠9♣ flop. A 3♦ turn was no help, and neither was the 7♠, which meant Orman was out in ninth.

Akin Tuna opened to 450,000 from middle position and Chady Ojeil three-bet to 1,075,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Tuna, he called.
"The good news is that you only called," remarked Ojeil before the flop of 7♣6♠Q♥ hit the felt. Tuna checked then Ojeil bet 575,000. Tuna check-raised to 1,900,000, and Ojeil called.
A 3♠ on the turn saw Tuna move all in for over 10,000,000, giving Ojeil a huge decision for his stack of around 8,000,000.
"Yesterday you just called with kings and aces twice," muttered Ojeil while he mulled it over. After some more consideration, Ojeil folded A♣Q♣ face up.
"Do you want to see," asked Tuna. "If you want to show me, then ok," replied Ojeil.
Tuna then rolled over top set with Q♦Q♠!
"I guess I'm freerolling the tournament now," joked Ojeil.
