Genefredo Legaspi Eliminated in 12th Place ($6,860)

Level 23 : 20,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Hesam Fadaifar opened under the gun to 70,000 and Genefredo Legaspi moved all in for just 5,000 more. Adam Friedman called in the big blind.

Fadaifar and Friedman checked down the ace-high board and when the cards were revealed at the end, Fadaifar showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of aces, which cracked Legaspi's {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Friedman tossed his cards into the muck as the boisterous Legaspi headed to the payout desk.

Fadaifar Wins Biggest Pot of Tournament From Wazwaz

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Hesam Fadaifar
Hesam Fadaifar

MSPT Hall of Famer Rob Wazwaz just ran into a massive cooler at the hands of Hesam Fadaifar, which has seen Fadaifar cross the two million chip mark.

On a flop of {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, Fadaifar checked to Wazwaz, who bet 150,000. Fadaifar responded with a check-raise all in for 900,000.

After some pained deliberation, Wazwaz called to see the horrific cooler.

Hesam Fadaifar: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Rob Wazwaz:{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Fadaifar had flopped the nut straight against Wazwaz's two pair.

The dealer couldn't bail out Wazwaz as he laid out the {q-Clubs} and {5-Hearts} to complete the hand which sent the massive pot to Fadaifar.

Wazwaz was left with just 300,000, but has since bounced back to almost 1,000,000.

Scott Sisler Eliminated in 9th Place ($8,689)

Level 25 : 30,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Scott Sislar
Scott Sislar

Scott Sisler raised preflop to 125,000 from middle position and was called in the big blind by Derek Molnar.

On the flop of {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, Molnar checked to Sisler who moved all in for over 800,000. Molnar snap-called.

Scott Sisler: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Derek Molnar: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The turn brought Sisler some hope with the {a-Clubs}, but the paint on the river wasn't the right kind as the {j-Hearts} fell to send Sisler home in 9th place.

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rob Wazwaz
Rob Wazwaz

MSPT Hall of Famer Rob Wazwaz got his last 550,000 chips in preflop, getting a call from Derek Molnar.

Rob Wazwaz: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Derek Molnar: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {a-Spades} appeared in the window for Molnar, followed by {q-Clubs} and {9-Hearts}. The {2-Clubs} turn and {10-Diamonds} river couldn't save Wazwaz and he was sent to the pay window to pick up the first five-figure cashout of the tournament.

Andres Moran Eliminated in 7th Place ($14,634)

Andres Moran
Andres Moran

Andres Moran moved all in from under the gun for 760,000 and after some deliberation was called in the big blind by Hesam Fadaifar.

Andres Moran: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Hesam Fadaifar: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Moran had way the best of it, but the flop brought hope for Fadaifar with an inside straight draw on {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

He wouldn't have to wait long for good news, as the dealer turned the {j-Diamonds}. The irrelevant {9-Diamonds} on the river completed the hand and sent Moran to the pay window in shocking fashion.

Adam Friedman Eliminated in 6th Place ($18,750)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Adam Friedman opened to 315,000 in first position, but when action made it to Rich Lanes on the button, Lanes quickly announced "800,000".

The blinds folded, and after some thought, Friedman called, leaving himself just 110,000 behind.

The dealer spread a flop of {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Lanes continued by putting Friedman all in. Friedman called and was in decent shape.

Adam Friedman: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Rich Lanes: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Lanes called for an ace or a king, then after the dealer dropped a {4-Hearts} on the turn, he added "two" to his request list.

The dealer obliged and put out the {2-Diamonds}, ending Friedman's run in 6th place

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
David Leese
David Leese

A massive cooler on the flop has seen David Leese eliminated.

Leese got all his chips in the middle on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs} in the big blind against Derek Molnar in the small blind. Leese thought he was good until he saw what he ran into.

David Leese: {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Derek Molnar: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Leese's top and bottom pair were no match for Molnar's set of sevens, which held up through the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} runout.

Kolman Wins Huge Pot From Lanes Before Break

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Sebastin Kolman
Sebastin Kolman

Rich Lanes raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and got called by Sebastin Kolman in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades} and after Kolman checked, Lane fired out 400,000.

Kolman called to see the {6-Spades} on the turn, then checked again.

This time, Lanes fired another 600,000, which Kolman replied to with a check-raise all in for 1,100,000.

Maybe a bit surprisingly, Lanes called.

Sebastin Kolman: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Rich Lanes: {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Kolman's set of threes had Lanes' pair of nines and a gutshot straight draw crushed.

Just for good measure, the {3-Clubs} fell on the river to give Kolman quads and the chip lead as the players went to break.

Hesam Fadaifar Eliminated in 4th Place ($45,224)

Level 30 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Hesam Fadaifar
Hesam Fadaifar

Hesam Fadaifar jammed for 1,290,000 from the button and was called by Sebastin Kolman in the big blind. Kolman had his at-risk opponent dominated.

Hesam Fadaifar: {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Sebastin Kolman: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The board came {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, ending Fadaifar's day, but his $45,224 win is by far his largest career tournament score, and a huge score considering he earned his seat through a satellite on Club GG.

Derek Molnar
Derek Molnar

Just a couple of hands after losing the majority of his stack to Rich Lanes, when his pocket jacks were coolered by Lane's pocket kings, Derek Molnar limped his small blind then called off for a bit over 1,400,000 after Sebastin Kolman moved all in.

Derek Molnar: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Sebastin Kolman: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

The board came {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, with Kolman's flopped pair of aces taking the pot and bringing heads-up play between Kolman and Lanes.
