Monster Pot for Bal
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
In a massive heads-up pot, there was already around 2,400,000 in the pot when Yousef Salameh led out for 700,000.
The action was then on Jagdeep Bal who went deep into the tank, so much so that the clock was called on him.
As his timer reached zero, he then shocked everyone by moving all in for 5,700,000 and then it was Salameh's turn to be in the blender.
After a good two minutes, he finally decided to let it go and the massive pot was pushed to Bal to increase his chip lead.

Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Rifki Yazid moved all in preflop and was called off by Joe Nguyen to put him at risk.

Joe Nguyen: K♥Q♣
Yazid was in a prime spot to double with his superior holding, but the flop of J♠10♣9♠ gave Nguyen the nut straight to put him far into the lead.
The runout of 10♠3♦ was of no help to Yazid and he was eliminated in 14th place.
