Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Masoud Shojaei opened to 20,000 from early position before Quyen Hoang made the call from the small blind. Mitchell Guzman joined the fray with a call from the big blind to create a three-handed pot.

Both blinds checked the 8♦9♥7♥ flop before Shojaei chose to bet 25,000. Hoang called while Guzman folded.

Hoang opted to take the betting lead with a wager of 40,000 on the 6♥ turn.

Shojaei made the call and sent them to the 4♣ river. Hoang bet again, this time to the tune of 50,000. Shojaei gave it some thought before he yielded the pot with a fold as Hoang took in the chips.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mario Netto went all-in for approximately 82,000 from the hijack before Michelle Grissom also went all-in for 26,000 from the cutoff to go to a showdown and be at risk against Netto.

Michelle Grissom: Q♠J♠All in
Mario Netto: A♣J♣

Netto was well in the lead as he had Grissom's hand dominated with five cards to come.

Grissom called for a queen or spades, but they never came on the 4♠7♣4♥3♥7♥ runout to eliminate Grissom from contention.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joselito Garcia got the action going with a raise to 15,000 from the hijack before Chauncey Hill made the call on the button.

Garcia continued for 20,000 on the A♦8♦Q♥ flop, which garnered a call from Hill.

The 6♣ turn resulted in a shove from Garcia for 32,000.

"You've got me beat, but I have to call," said Hill before he put in the call to put Garcia at risk.

Joselito Garcia: A♣10♦All in
Chauncey Hill: Q♦J♦

Garcia needed to fade several outs with one card to go as Hill held a flush draw as well as outs to trips or two pair to sink Garcia's tournament hopes.

The river was a blank when the 4♥ peeled to award Garcia the double-up.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was over 110,000 already in the middle on a board that read 2♦3♦J♠8♣ with four players still in the pot.

Jack Hidalgo checked his option from the small blind before Ricardo Bibat opted to make a bet of 30,000 from the big blind. Seng Yang made the call from early position, while Zachary Marston folded on the button and Hidalgo joined him with a fold.

The 8♦ river led to a check from Bibat. Yang surveyed his stack before he announced all-in for 189,000.

Bibat asked for a count, but thought better of it as he folded to award the pot to Yang without a showdown.

This hand was picked up on the flop of 7♣J♣7♠ with approximately 30,000 in the middle. Rickey Evans chose to bet 18,000 from the big blind before Nicholas Iriarte made the call from the hijack.

Evans kept his foot on the gas pedal with a bet of 29,000 on the K♣ turn. Iriarte stuck around with a call.

The 5♠ river led to an all-in of 55,000 from Evans. Iriarte went into the tank as he mulled over the spot.

Iriarte cut out calling chips and pushed them towards the middle to go to a showdown.

Evans tabled 9♣2♣ for a flush to claim the pot as Iriarte shook his head and tapped the table after mucking his hand.

Joe Nguyen shipped it from early position and clashed with Stephen Hesse from the big blind to be at risk for 91,000.

Joe Nguyen: 7♥7♠All in
Stephen Hesse: A♣Q♥

Nguyen found himself in a race for his tournament life, but the flop gave him nothing to fear when it came 2♦3♥K♦.

The 9♠ turn was safe before he slammed a set when the 7♣ hit the river to award him the double up and leave Hesse back at the drawing table.
