Jonathan Tackett made it 180,000 from under the gun. Michael Barlow called on the button and David Hanna joined the fray from the big blind.

Hanna and Tackett checked the 6♠ turn. Barlow put out a bet of 380,000 in response. Hanna called, but Tackett folded.

Hanna took the initiative on the 7♥ river as he shoved for 665,000 on fifth street. Barlow went into the tank as he thought the hand through.

Barlow folded 6♣6♥ for a set of sixes face up. Hanna revealed it was a good fold as he got there on the river with 5♥5♠ for a straight as he took down the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 40,000 ante

Michael Barlow began the action with an open to 250,000 from the cutoff.

Jonathan Tackett defended his big blind and took them to a flop of A♦8♠2♠.

Both players checked, bringing the 8♥ turn. Tackett bet 200,000, and Barlow called.

The Q♦ river did not slow Tackett down. Tackett put out a river bet of 300,000.

"I haven't caught a bluff all day," said Barlow before he called.

Barlow will have to wait longer as Tackett showed A♣10♦ for a pair of aces. Barlow revealed 10♠10♥ as Tackett dragged in the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 30,000 ante

Antonio Ndoja opened to 120,000 from the cutoff, but Nicholas Lanzi chose to risk it all when he shoved for approximately 265,000 from the small blind. Ndoja called and put Lanzi at risk.

Nicholas Lanzi: A♠J♥ All in
Antonio Ndoja: K♥J♦

Lanzi held the lead, but the flop would change that in a hurry when it came 8♠Q♦K♠. Ndoja improved to a pair of kings and Lanzi was left searching for a ten or an ace to stay alive in the tournament.

The Q♥ was of no use to Lanzi, and the 4♦ river sealed his fate as he went out in eighth place.

Lanzi earned $5,290 for his finish.

Erick Torres

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 30,000 ante

This hand was picked up on the 10♣3♣6♣Q♥ board with approximately 300,000 in the middle.

Joffrey Gaetz checked from the hijack before Michael Barlow fired 300,000. Gaetz called.

The 10♥ river led to another check from Gaetz. Barlow was undeterred and bet 700,000 on the river.

Gaetz gave it considerable thought before he folded A♠Q♣ face up. Barlow obliged by showing he made a good fold when he revealed Q♦10♣ for a full house as he collected the chips.

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 30,000 ante

Joffrey Gaetz got it in for 720,000 from under the gun versus Patrick Beatrez in the big blind, as Gaetz was at risk for his tournament life at the final table.

Joffrey Gaetz: A♥A♠ All in
Patrick Beatrez: J♥J♠

Gaetz was well ahead, and he would be thankful he held the ace of hearts when the 7♥3♥K♥ flop came down to keep him in the lead and with the best draw.

The 6♠ river was of no consequence, and the A♣ upgraded him to a set of aces to take down the pot.
