Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jesse Lonis called from the small blind and Rob Yong checked from the big blind.

Lonis led out for 425,000 on a flop of 3♥A♦6♠, and Yong continued in the form of a call.

Check-check followed the 4♠ turn to see the 8♥ roll off on the river. Lonis bet 725,000, and Yong instantly called.

Lonis turned over 7♥7♦ for a pair of sevens and took down the pot as Yong mucked J♠6♦ for a pair of sixes.

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised the button to 550,000 and Dejan Kaladjurdjevic stuck his stack of 1,425,000 into the middle from the big blind. Lonis called, and Kaladjurdjevic was at risk of being out in seventh place.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: K♥10♣ All in
Jesse Lonis: 9♥9♦

Kaladjurdjevic needed to win this race to begin his spin-up. A flop of J♦J♠A♥ gave Kaladjurdjevic a few extra outs, but the 9♠ turn vanquished all hope as Lonis hit a full house.

An irrelevant 4♥ completed the board, and Kaladjurdjevic was the next to leave the final table.

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

From the hijack, Maher Nouira raised to 500,000 and was immediately three-bet by Matt Moss to 1,225,000 from the cutoff. Nouira decided to four-bet jam for 5,150,000, and got snap-called by Moss.

Maher Nouira: A♣J♥ All in
Matt Moss: K♥K♦

Moss had the chance to move up to second in the chip counts if his pocket kings could hold up against the ace-jack of Nouira.

A flop of 4♠5♠Q♣ came down and Nouira looked even more likely to hit the rail. A 3♣ turn offered Nouira some outs to a wheel, which he managed to find on the 2♣ river, and he doubled up.

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic raised to 625,000 from early position and Matt Moss shoved the button for 6,650,000. When it got back to Kaladjurdjevic, he called to put Moss at risk.

Matt Moss: 8♠8♣ All in
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: A♠K♣

The flip was huge for both players, and it looked like Kaladjurdjevic was going to take a commanding lead when the A♣ appeared as the window card.

However, the flop was completed by the 3♦8♦ to give Moss a set. Kaladjurdjevic was drawing dead by the Q♦ turn, as the 9♥ completed the board, and Moss doubled through Kaladjurdjevic.

Matt Moss	13,925,000 7,150,000	7,150,000

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic raised A♥K♥ to 525,000 from the hijack and only Jamil Wakil defended from the big blind holding K♣J♦.

Both players checked the 3♦5♦6♦ flop to see the 9♥ appear on the turn. Wakil bet 500,000, which was enough for Kaladjurdjevic to fold.

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jamil Wakil completed with Q♦4♦ from the small blind before Jesse Lonis raised it up to 1,100,000 with 10♠9♠ from the big blind. Wakil called.

Wakil checked the A♠K♥9♦ flop and Lonis made a continuation-bet of 425,000 with bottom pair. Wakil chose the most aggressive option and check-raised to 1,100,000. Lonis continued in the form of a call.

A Q♥ hit the turn, which saw Wakil check-fold to Lonis' bet of 3,200,000.

Nouira Makes the Correct Call for His Stack

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

When it folded to Phil Ivey in the small blind, he shoved, putting Maher Nouira to the test in the big blind for his entire stack of 2,400,000. Nouira instantly called.

Maher Nouira: K♣9♣ All in
Phil Ivey: 4♣3♣

Nouira's king-high stayed ahead against the suited connector of Ivey on the 7♠A♠K♠2♦4♦ board, and he earned the much-needed double-up.
