Hoang Spikes Miracle River to Take Chip Lead
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
After some pre-flop fireworks, big stacks Steve Hoang and Derrick Yamada got all the chips into the middle to create a massive pot of 2,500,000, with Hoang at risk.
Steve Hoang: A♥J♣
Derrick Yamada: A♠K♥
Hoang would need a lot of help here as Yamada had him dominated, and it was looking grim on the turn 8♣6♦8♥3♥, but the river came the miracle J♥ to give him the massive double up, much to the chagrin of Yamada.

Lewis Christensen Eliminated in 10th Place ($3,395)
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Lewis Christensen moved all in preflop and was called by Randy Shamo to put his tournament life on the line.

Randy Shamo: A♥9♦
Things were looking tough for Christensen as Shamo had his ace dominated, but the flop of 10♥4♣2♠ put him into the lead with his four. Unfortunately, the 9♥ smacked down on the turn to swing the lead back into Shamo's favor and the river 7♥ changed nothing. Shamo was then pushed the pot while Christensen made his way to the exit in 10th place.
