Level 28 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Before the break, "razvyqq" opened to 1,680,000 under the gun and "ShippityShip" jammed in the small blind for his remaining stack of 24,815,107. "razvyqq" called and hands were shown.

"razvyqq": {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
"ShippityShip": {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

"ShippityShip" was dominated and needed help but didn't find it on the {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop. The {2-Spades} turn provided some possible chop outs, but the {j-Clubs} river eliminated him and sent the massive pot over to "razvyqq".

"n3xD" Eliminated in 12th Place ($7,015)

Level 27 : 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

"PopicuZEU" open-jammed under the gun for 9,343,712 and "n3xD" barely covered him and made the call in the big blind.

"PopicuZEU": {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
"n3xD": {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

"n3xD" was in a great spot but that all changed on the {7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop. The {8-Diamonds} turn left him needing a queen but the {6-Hearts} completed the board leaving him with less than one big blind.

He got all in on the next hand with {8-Hearts}{4-Spades} against the {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} of "llv62" and was knocked out of the tournament on the {q-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} board.

Level 27 : 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

"977sanek977" raised to 2.1 million in the small blind and "Yura.tomsk" jammed for 10,112,296 in the big blind and was called.

"977sanek977": {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
"Yura.tomsk": {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

"Yura.tomsk" took the lead on the {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop and was looking good to stay alive on the {a-Spades} turn. Then disaster struck for him on the river when the {8-Hearts} appeared, eliminating him. This also marks the third elimination today with the losing player holding pocket eights.

"lildani9" Eliminated in 16th place ($4,907)

Level 26 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

Before the break, "lildani9" opened to 1,260,000 in middle position before "977sanek977" three-bet to 3.3 million on the button. "lildani9" called and the two saw the flop.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and "lildani9" check-shoved his entire stack of 25,646,019 after "977sanek977" bet 3,870,000. "977sanek977" called and hands were revealed.

"lildani9": {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
"977sanek977": {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Although "977sanek977" had the best hand at the time, "lildani9" was actually the favorite to win the hand with his gutshot straight flush draw in addition to his pair. The {7-Spades} turn put "lildani9" ahead with two pair, but the {4-Diamonds} river paired the board and eliminated him, while giving "977sanek977" the tournament chip lead.

"razvyqq" opened to 1,260,000 in middle position and Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot three-bet to 3.6 million for most of his stack. It folded back to "razvyqq" who went all in and Talbot called for his remaining 249,688.

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
"razvyqq": {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds} putting "razvyqq" ahead. The {6-Spades} turn left Talbot looking for an eight, but the {q-Diamonds} river ended his tournament run in 18th place.

"ShippityShip": {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} to give "ShippityShip" the lead. The {3-Clubs} turn meant Smiljkovic needed a river queen but it was the {7-Clubs} to complete the board, knocking out Smiljkovic and giving "ShippityShip" the chip lead.

"johnyguedes1" open-shoved for 3,724,344 in the cutoff and Victor "Capitao1987" Faria jammed from the button as the blinds folded.

Victor "Capitao1987" Faria: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
"johnyguedes1": {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Faria picked up the aces in a great spot but got a sweat on the {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop. The {6-Spades} turn left "johnyguedes1" looking for a heart to stay alive but the {6-Diamonds} peeled off on the river, eliminating him in 21st.

The final day of WCOOP-01-H: $109 NLHE [Phase 2], $1M Gtd will begin at 2:05 p.m. EST, and by the end of the day, there will be a winner crowned. The total prize pool of $1,283,400 was amassed by 12,834 entries from all Phases. Only 27 players continue to play today, and action will start in level 23 at 175,000/350,000 with a 45,000 ante. The average stack to start Day 2 is just under 12 million which translates to about 34 big blinds.

Leading the hunt for the bracelet is Norway’s ”Laddien”. They claimed the Day 1 chip lead with 27,139,945 chips and will have around 78 big blinds to continue their run in the beginning of Day 2. Rounding out the top three stacks are "CBon's 72" (23,850,611) and Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura (23,645,740).

Also contending for the win are WSOP bracelet winner Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic (20,903,816) and poker streamer and Team PokerStars Player Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot (2,687,344), who will have his work cut out for him as the short stack. Interestingly, each of these two players won a WCOOP event less than a week ago, and within mere hours of each other. Smiljkovic took down WCOOP 75-M: $530 NLHE [8-Max, Midweek Freeze], and Talbot claimed victory in WCOOP-75-H: $5,200 NLHE [8-Max, Midweek Freeze], with each having won their title on Sept. 9.
