The {9-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop gave Arnaud an open-ender but Kee blocked the high end. The {7-Clubs} and {9-Hearts} runout missed Arnaud's four outs and he walked away in 10th place.

Xuan Tan
Xuan Tan

Xuan Tan raised to 92,000 from the hijack and Cary Katz called in the cutoff.

After a checked from Xuan Tan on the flop of {10-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Spades} Cary Katz shoved for 1,400,000. Tan tanked for a bit then decided to call, putting himself at risk with a shorter stack.

Cary Katz: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Xuan Tan: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board completed with the {Q-Hearts} and the {A-Spades} so that meant Tan would be sent to the rail as the 11th place.

Level 11 : 0/0, 12,000 ante
Andrew Robl
Andrew Robl

Mikita Badziakouski opened with a raise to 24,000 from under the gun and Keneth Kee called as did Andrew Robl before Ivan Leow raised to 150,000 from the button. Action folded back to Robl who tanked for a bit before he called.

The flop was {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Robl moved all in for roughly 700,000. Leow dropped into the tank and eventually, he settled on a call.

Ivan Leow: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Andrew Robl: {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Leow made a correct call, as he was currently leading but the turn was the {8-Clubs} giving Robl the straight. The river was the {J-Clubs} which completed the board and Leow was forced to double Robl to about 1,800,000. Leow was left with less than a million after the hand.

Action was limped preflop four ways.

On the flop of {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} Cary Katz lead out with a bet of 75,000 and Romain Arnaud called while everyone else folded.

Katz checked on the turn which was the {K-Spades} and Arnuad put out a bet of 175,000. Cary Katz then moved all in for 666,000 and Arnaud quickly called.

Romain Arnaud: {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Cary Katz: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and that meant that Katz would double to nearly 1,600,000 in what was a massive cooler for Arnaud.

Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, Richard Yong checked with {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Xuan Tan fired 50,000 with {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Tom Dwan flopped the bottom two pair on the button and he called with his {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Yong came along and Dwan hit a boat on the {8-Clubs} turn.

Tan, however, fired another shell, making it 140,000. Dwan kept calling and Yong escaped.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Dwan finished with quads. Tan was still trying to steal the pot, firing 450,000. He had no chance against Dwan who raised and Tan's bluff was finally over.

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

With {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} on the table and around 900,000 in the pot, Mikita Badziakouski shoved on Phil Ivey for 840,000 effective. Ivey tanked for over two minutes, burning four of his time extensions. Then he finally called to find himself ahead.

Badziakouski: {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Ivey: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Badziakouski sighed but the {J-Clubs} river gave him a jack-high straight and he sent Ivey to the rail in a large pot that helped him eclipse 3 million in chips.

Dwan Sends Yong to the Rail

Level 10 : 0/0, 10,000 ante
Wai Kin Yong
Wai Kin Yong

With about 115,000 in the pot on a board showing {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs} Peter Jetten was first to act. He put out a bet of 40,000. Wai Kin Yong was next to act and he raised, making it 155,000. Tom Dwan was on the button and he raised as well, putting in a three-bet to 1,000,000, enough to cover both players. Jetten folded and Yong dropped into the tank. He thought through multiple time banks before deciding to call.

Tom Dwan: {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Wai Kin Yong: {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Dwan had a straight but still needed to fade a board pair in order to seal the deal. He did so as the {K-Spades} dropped on the river and that would earn him the pot, putting him over 2,500,000. Yong, on the other hand, was eliminated from the tournament, bringing the field down to two tables.
