Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Stephen Song opened to 60,000 first to act with A♦5♣ and was called by Yisha Chen in the hijack holding A♥J♥.
Lei Yu then shoved for 360,000 from the cutoff with A♠K♠, which got Taylor Black to fold 10♥10♦ in on the button, as well as Song and Chen to win the pot uncontested.

Calvin Lee opened to 60,000 with the 8♠8♣ from under the gun and James Mendoza flat-called the A♥K♠ out of the big blind, leading them to the 10♣6♠4♦ flop. Mendoza check-called for 75,000 and checked again the 2♦ on the turn for Lee to check it back.
That led them to the 4♠ on the river and Mendoza checked, Lee checked it back to collect the pot.

Daniel Cates shoved for his last 190,000 from early position and was called by Stephen Song in the hijack. Gavin then shoved for 220,000 on the button and it was folded back to Song, who called to put both players at risk.
Daniel Cates: A♣2♣
Gavin: K♣Q♥
Stephen Song: 5♠5♦
Song was poised for a double knockout, and the 2♠5♥7♥ flop gave him a commanding lead with a set.
The 3♣ turn gave Cates some hope with a draw to a wheel, but the 7♦ river left Song with a full house to eliminate both Cates and Gavin to set up the money bubble.

Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
James Mendoza raised to 60,000 with the 9♠9♣ and was called by Calvin Lee in the cutoff with the K♠J♠, Gavin came along in the big blind with the 8♠5♣. The K♦9♥7♦ flop saw Lee bet 55,000 and Gavin called, while Mendoza got away from his now inferior pocket pair.
The Q♣ on the turn brought a reluctant check by Gavin and he lost one time bank extension in the process. Lee leaned out of his chair to story the short stack on the other side of the table and moved all-in, Gavin folded.

Taylor Black shoved for his last 175,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Cates also went all in for more from the small blind. Everyone else folded and the board was run.
Taylor Black: Q♥9♠
Daniel Cates: A♥7♦
Cates held the lead with his ace, but the 7♠3♦9♣ flop paired Black's nine to put him in front.
The 2♠ turn nor 8♦ river improved Cates and Black was awarded the double up.

Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Calvin Lee opened to 60,000 with the A♠K♦ and Lei Yu used a time bank with the A♥A♣ on the button off a stack of 440,000 before he just flat-called prior to the K♣7♠5♥ flop, on which Lee glanced at the tournament info screen and his opponent.
Lee bet 55,000 with his top pair and top kicker, Yu called. The 6♦ followed on the turn and both players checked to the 8♦ on the river. Lee gave it some consideration and then moved all-in with the covering stack against Yu, who had just 325,000 behind - eleven big blinds.
The reluctant fold by Yu followed and Lee won the pot thanks to his heavy river shove.

Calvin Lee: A♣K♠
Yisha Chen: Q♣Q♠
It was a classic race, but the 9♦A♠2♠J♠4♥ runout paired Lee's ace to award him the double up.
