Robert Cowen had his stack of 1,025,000 in from the small blind and was at risk against Lautaro Guerra, who was in the big blind.

Robert Cowen: A♠K♠9♣3♥
Lautaro Guerra: K♣Q♦8♣5♦

Cowen was ahead, and kept his last on the A♦Q♠4♠ flop. A 5♠ on the turn gave him a flush, and the A♣ river secured his double-up.

Level 15 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

A pot had brewed on an Q♠9♣A♠K♦ board between Laszlo Bujtas in the small blind and Samuli Sipila in the big blind.

There were around 1,000,000 in there when Sipila bet-called off his stack of around 2,500,000.

Samuli Sipila: J♦10♥8♥3♠ All in
Laszlo Bujtas: A♣A♦7♥5♣

Sipila had turned the nuts with Broadway, but had to fade the board pairing as Bujtas had top set of aces. The 5♦ river was a brick, though, and Sipila managed to double up.

Lautaro Guerra: A♣Q♠J♣7♦ All in
Martin Dam: A♦10♣10♠8♣

Guerra took the lead on the K♣A♥5♠ flop with top pair queen-kicker, and stayed ahead through the J♠6♦ runout to double up.

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

With 1,200,000 in the middle on a 5♠A♥2♦5♥ board, Cong Pham check-called a bet of 400,000 from Laszlo Bujtas to see the A♠ fall on the river.

After Pham checked again, Bujtas bet 1,500,000, which got a fold out of Pham.

On the same table, Ben Lamb has been chipping up nicely and has taken down a few small pots to boost his stack.

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

With around 2,500,000 in the pot on a Q♦7♠2♦2♥ board, Martin Dam checked from the big blind and "Dubai Police" fired 900,000 from the cutoff. Dam called.

When the J♦ landed on the river, Dam checked again and then faced a huge bet of 4,000,000 from "Dubai Police". Dam didn't need too long to decide how to proceed, and released his cards back to the dealer.

Biao Ding Eliminated in 13th Place ($175,000)

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On a flop of A♣7♥8♠, there were around 500,000 in the pot when Ding potted it from under the gun. Cong Pham then made it 1,300,000, Ding shoved around 1,900,000, and Pham called.

Biao Ding: A♠7♠6♦5♠ All in
Cong Pham: A♥9♦8♥2♠

Ding had two pair with a straight draw, but Pham had a bigger two pair. A 3♠ on the turn did give Ding some more outs with a flush draw, but the Q♣ river meant he was out in 13th.
