Ryan James was all-in for only 145,000 with the A♣9♠ in the hijack and needed help to crack the K♥K♦ of Anjan Mulji in the cutoff.
The Q♠Q♣7♣A♦7♥ board provided the ace on the turn.

Shemir Kamoula three-bet jammed for around 12 blinds when Steven Radloff raised to 40,000 and the latter quickly called.
Shemir Kamoula: K♦Q♣
Steven Radloff: J♦J♥
This time, pocket jacks couldn't hold on the K♣8♦2♣Q♠8♣ board and Kamoula stayed in contention.
Mattia Festa opened to 30,000 with the 2♥2♦ and was called by Tome Dinh in the big blind, who defended the 5♠5♣ to a flop of 5♦4♣2♠. Dinh check-raised from 30,000 to 85,000 and Festa three-bet to 175,000 for Dinh to call.
The 7♥ turn saw Dinh check and Festa bet 225,000. Dinh raised to 605,000 and then called Festa's shove with the superior set. No miracle one outer came with the Q♥ and Festa bowed out in 23rd place, while Dinh soared to massive 2,700,000.
Level: 21
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
In a three-way pot to the J♣8♣6♠ flop, Alfred Magani checked and Steven Radloff bet 75,000. Costa Giannakopoulos called and Magani check-called to the 2♣ turn. He checked again and Radloff bet 175,000, Giannakopoulos folded and Magani used a time bank before he called.
The 3♥ came on the river and Magani checked once more. Radloff bet 250,000 and that finally won the pot without any further resistace.
Panayiotis Giannakopoulos opened to 35,0900 and then called the all-in of table short stack Wayne Mcgregor for 155,000 total.
Wayne Mcgregor: A♦10♦
Panayiotis Giannakopoulos: 10♠9♥
The inferior hand improved with the K♥9♠6♣ flop and the Q♠ turn then gave Mcgregor more outs. "Any jacks about?" he asked but missed the 8♦ on the river.
On a heads-up turn of K♥9♥7♠8♦, Vietnam's Thanh Dat Pham check-raised all-in for what appeared to be 325,000 and Aidan Jacobs on the button called after he had bet 100,000.
Thanh Dat Pham: A♣9♦
Aidan Jacobs: K♣J♥
The 6♦ on the river brought no help to Pham and he was gone in 26th place.
Moments later on the other table, Mark Tao was all-in against the surging Alfred Magani.
Mark Tao: A♣10♠
Alfred Magani: K♣6♦
The short stack of Tao vanished on the K♦6♣5♥J♣7♠ board to bring the field down to the final three tables.
Three ways to the A♥10♥3♦ flop, Tutu Russon checked when Benjamin Lingenfelder Jr bet 40,000 and Panayiotis Giannakopoulos called one seat over on the button.
Lingenfelder Jr proceeded to fire another two barrels for 145,000 on the 4♥ turn and 330,000 on the 6♠ river.
Giannakopoulos called and mucked when Lingenfelder Jr tabled the 5♥3♥ for a flush.
Anjan Mulji raised to 30,000 with the Q♦10♦ and Cliton Taliwanth defended the big blind with the K♥6♥ to see a flop of [KsQhj5d] on which Taliwanth check-called for 55,000. The same action repeated on the 10♥ turn for 80,000 and Mulji then checked behind the 5♥ river to avoid further damage.
Arnas Grygalis arrived more than two hours late and found his stack blinded down but the money bubble had burst.
In one of the first hands he played, Grygalis barreled through a board of Q♠9♠2♠2♦3♦ and jammed the river with the covering stack against Jaryd Jardien, who used multiple time banks before he folded.
Mark Tao then jammed 120,000 with the K♠5♠ and Jardien called with the A♥J♥ in the big blind. The 5♣4♣3♠K♦Q♥ board gave Tao two pair.
Grygalis then raised to 30,000 and called the shove by Jardien albeit reluctantly.
Jaryd Jardien: A♦K♠
Arnas Grygalis: 10♣9♣
The A♣J♣6♥Q♣4♥ board improved the Lithuanian to a flush.
In between these hands, Moussa Soililti had also been eliminated from one table over.
