Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Suru Patel opened to 12,000 from the hijack before La Sengphet three-bet to 28,000 on the button, and Patel called.
On the A♥A♣3♦ flop, Patel check-called a bet of 25,000 from Sengphet.
Patel checked again on the J♣ turn as Sengphet cut out a bet of 76,000. Patel then check-jammed for 156,000 total and Sengphet snap-called as the slightly covering stack.
Suru Patel: A♦K♥ 
La Sengphet: A♠6♥
It was a cooler flop with both players making trip aces. Patel's kicker played, but Sengphet still had outs to win or chop. However, the river was the K♣, giving Patel a full house of his own to double in a massive pot.

A player on the button tossed in their final 16,000 before Stepfan Cabenda rejammed for 34,000. In the big blind, Kelli Mix quickly called covering both players.
Button: K♦7♠
Stepfan Cabenda: Q♦J♥
Kelli Mix: J♠J♣
Mix woke up with a premium but still had to fade two overcards. However, the J♦10♠4♠ flop gave her top set. The board ran out 4♣A♦, giving Mix a full house to take out two opponents.
The field now sits at 22 players as the pace of eliminations has slowed.

Omar Rodriguez opened from the cutoff and was called by the button, while the small blind also put in the last of his chips.

Rodriguez then check-called another bet for 20,000 on the 5♥ turn.
The 9♦ river checked through as the button tabled A♠Q♣ for top pair, top kicker. However, Rodriguez had rivered a straight with A♣10♥ as he extends his lead atop the counts while eliminating the small blind as well.

Max Pieterse opened under the gun and was called by Maher Al Mouselly on his left, as well as the big blind.
On the 8♣5♣2♠ flop, the big blind led for 4,000 before Pieterse raised to 14,000. Mouselly cold-called, and the big blind folded.
Pieterse slowed down with a check on the 7♠ turn before Al Mouselly bet 26,000. Pieterse then check-jammed for his roughly 60,000 stack, and Al Mouselly snapped it off as the covering stack.
Max Pieterse: A♠9♠
Maher Al Mouselly: 8♠8♦
Pieterse held the nut flush draw and a gutshot against the top set of Al Mouselly. The A♥ river was not enough to save Pieterse, and he was eliminated.
