Sergio Segura opened to 1,200,000 from the hijack before Mikal Smith jammed for roughly 3,300,000 from the cutoff, and Segura called.

Mikal Smith: A♠10♠ All in
Sergio Segura: A♥9♥

Smith was primed for the double with the dominating ace on the Q♠J♥4♦ flop. However, the 9♠ fell on the turn to pair Segura's kicker, but Smith had an open-ender with the nut flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the river was the 9♦, and he was eliminated.

John Riordan opened to 1,000,000 in middle position before Matthew Adderly three-bet to 3,000,000 in the cutoff. Riordan then jammed as the slightly covering stack, and Adderly called off his 5,900,000 stack.

Matthew Adderly: Q♦Q♣ All in
John Riordan: A♦K♠

It was the most notorious of coinflips as the A♥ appeared in the window, followed by the 8♠8♣. Adderly could not find a two-outer on the 4♥6♠ runout, and after the stacks were counted down it was confirmed that his tournament came to an end in 14th.

Brandon Conrad: K♥Q♠

Nguyen had just ace-high against the top pair of Conrad. The board ran out J♠K♣, and Nguyen was eliminated in 15th.

Level 33 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Mikal Smith moved all in for 3,300,000 in the small blind, and Evan Sandberg called in the big blind.

Mikal Smith: 9♣6♣ All in
Evan Sandberg: Q♠3♠

It was another classic flip as the A♠J♣8♦ flop kept Sandberg in front. The 3♥ turn paired Sandberg but changed nothing. However, the 6♦ would fall on the river, giving Smith the winner and he survived.

Phovieng Keokham: Q♣J♥ All in
Sergio Segura: A♠A♣

Keokham flopped top pair but was in bad shape against the aces of Segura. The board ran out 10♥10♠, offering no help to Keokham who was eliminated in 16th place.

The Q♦10♠2♥ flop checked through to the J♥ turn which saw Roeder check again to Sandberg who bet 1,200,000, and only Rogers called.

Sandberg then checked the 6♥ river. Rogers bet 3,250,000, and Sandberg quickly folded.

Ronnie Bardah opened to 625,000 in middle position before Erik Gault three-bet to 1,700,000 on his left. In the cutoff, Phovieng Keokham jammed for 5,300,000. Bardah folded and Gault called.

Phovieng Keokham: A♠A♣ All in
Erik Gault: K♥K♦

It was the most brutal of coolers as Keokham improved to a flush on the 7♣5♣2♠2♣9♣ runout, securing the full double at the expense of Gault, whose "feelings were hurt."
