Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Santiago Sonensein opened from middle position before Ronnie Bardah jammed for 126,000 from the cutoff, and Sonensein flicked in a chip to call immediately as the covering stack.
Ronnie Bardah: J♥J♦ 
Santiago Sonensein: A♥A♦
Bardah found himself needing some help again as the Q♣10♦4♠ flop offered little assistance.
However, the 8♣ turn gave him a gutshot, which came home on the the 9♦ river, securing another double in dramatic fashion as the table joked at his cockroach tendencies.
Shortly after, a player was eliminated, bringing this flight to the stone bubble.

Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ronnie Bardah jammed for 77,000 from the cutoff and Wade Warren looked him up from the small blind. In the big blind, Michael Baumann painfully folded KxQx with 75,000 behind after a small tank.
Ronnie Bardah: A♥J♣
Wade Warren: A♣Q♣
Warren held the dominating hand as the K♠K♦10♥ flop switched the outs with both picking up a gutshot.
The K♣ landed on the turn, much to the dismay of Baumann as Bardah returned to his original outs. The J♠ would then land on the river, giving Bardah a full house to double as Warren was left short, and Baumann returned to his seat wondering what could have been.

Level 12
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ronnie Bardah shoved for his final 50,000 from the cutoff before Frank Schinco isolated from the small blind.
Ronnie Bardah: A♥3♥
Frank Schinco: 7♥7♦
"Do I need the three?" Bardah asked as he flipped over his cards one-by-one, "Or the ace?"
Bardah was indeed behind until the A♠ appeared in the window, followed by 10♣5♥. He held through the Q♦2♣ runout, securing the double.
Level 12
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player opened to 10,000 under the gun before Veronique Croes jammed for her remaining 50,500 from the big blind, and her opponent snapped it off.
Veronique Croes: A♠Q♣
Under the Gun: Q♥Q♦
Croes was in rough shape but held one overcard as the K♠4♠3♠ flop brought a sweat, giving her the nut flush draw.
However, it was the A♥ that landed on the turn to give her the lead, leaving her opponent drawing dead as the case queen was a spade. The 6♠ river added insult to injury, improving Croes to the nut flush as she collected the full double.
