Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with 45,000 in the pot and the board showing 2♦Q♠4♦. Michael Wolf was all in for 30,000, and Daniel Daconti called to put him at risk.

Michael Wolf: 7♦5♦ All in
Daniel Daconti: A♣Q♥

Daconti was in front with his top pair top kicker but would need to fade the flush draw of Wolf. The Q♣ on the turn took away outs from Wolf, but the 10♦ on the river still gave him the flush to make the best hand, and double up.

Daniel Daconti	128,000 102,000	102,000
Michael Wolf	105,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to William Chisholm in the cutoff, and he raised to 12,000. He was called by Bin Weng on the button, and Christopher Csik in the big blind.

The flop came A♠2♠Q♥ and Csik checked to Chisholm who bet out 32,000. Weng then raised to 82,500, which got Csik to fold, and Chisholm made the call.

After the 5♥ on the turn, Chisholm checked to Weng, who went all in for 140,000. After sitting in the tank, Chisholm put in the chips to call and put Weng at risk.

Bin Weng: 7♥6♥ All in
William Chisholm: A♥8♠

Weng raised Chisholm on the flop with air, but he picked up a flush draw on the turn against the pair of aces of Chisholm. But once the river came the 5♣ the pair of aces of Chisholm were still best to take a massive pot and eliminate Weng.

Player	Chips	Progress
William Chisholm	670,000 340,000	340,000

Christopher Csik	360,000 150,000	150,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Justin Vaysman in the cutoff, and he raised all in for 35,000. Once it folded to Nan Li in the small blind, he called to put Vaysman at risk. Once the big blind folded, it was the two players heads up, with the cards on their back.

Justin Vaysman: 8♠8♥ All in
Nan Li: A♣4♣

Vaysman was in great shape for the double up only needing to fade the one over card of Li. But the board ran out K♦9♣A♥Q♥J♥ and Li improved to a pair of aces, to knockout Vaysman.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nan Li	360,000 250,000	250,000

Travis Hartshorn: A♥10♦ All in
