Nir Cohen

From the cutoff, Alain Bauer raised to 180,000. Eric Afriat called on the button. Nir Cohen three-bet out of the big blind to 760,000.
Bauer four-bet to 2,000,000, Afriat folded and Cohen took a few moments before five-bet jamming all in for about 5,000,000 and Bauer snap-called.

Nir Cohen: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Alain Bauer: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

It was the largest pot of the tournament with a huge flip about to go down. The flop came {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts} to send Bauer ahead. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the river came the {k-Diamonds} for overkill to give Bauer a boat and send Cohen away and Bauer into the large chip lead.

Daniel Jones Eliminated in 6th Place ($78,600)

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Daniel Jones
Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones moved all in again the next hand from under the gun for his recently doubled stack. It folded to Steven Rivero in the small blind who called, as Alain Bauer in the big blind was away from the table meaning Rivero was actually closing the action.

Daniel Jones: {q-Spades}{6-Spades}
Steven Rivero: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Rivero had another chance to send Jones to the rail. The flop came {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, the turn was the {10-Spades} and the river the {9-Spades} to give Rivero the straight and eliminate Jones as the first victim of the day and deny him the chance to ladder up.
