Joseph Cheong was all in for 15.5 million and Anthony Ruberto called. Players flipped their cards and Cheong would be at risk of elimination.

Nolet and Strelitz Tangle Again

Level 35 : 1,500,000/3,500,000, 3,500,000 ante

Guillaume Nolet raised it up to 7.5 million with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} in the hijack and Daniel Strelitz three-bet to 21 million with {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} on the button. The action folded back to Nolet who jammed all in for 84.5 million and Strelitz snap-called.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Strelitz was drawing to one out with a jack already folded. The {5-Spades} on the turn paired the board and the {k-Clubs} on the river improved Nolet to a full house to score a double up.

Strelitz Runs a Massive Bluff

Level 35 : 1,500,000/3,500,000, 3,500,000 ante

Daniel Strelitz opened to 7 million from under the gun with {a-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Guillaume Nolet defended from the big blind with {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}. The flop fell {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Nolet check-called a bet of 11 million from Strelitz.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Guillaume checked again and Strelitz checked behind. The {q-Hearts} on the river gave Nolet a straight and he led out for 15 million. Strelitz thought for a moment and then jammed all in, putting Nolet to the test for his remaining 90 million chips.

Nolet burned through his time extensions and then elected to lay his hand down. Strelitz showed the {8-Spades} and Nolet knew he made a bad fold.

Level 35 : 1,500,000/3,500,000, 3,500,000 ante
Wayne Obrien

Wayne Obrien raised to 8 million on the button with {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} and George Lagos three-bet to 23.5 million with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} in the big blind. Obrien announced all in for 83.5 million and Lagos snap-called for his last 81.5 million.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the Lagos was still ahead with his ace-king. The {4-Clubs} on the turn and the {9-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Lagos earned himself a full double up.

Obrien was left with just 2 million chips and would go on to bust on the next hand when his pair of sixes was unable to beat Darryll Fish's pair of tens.
