Jeffs was drawing thin, unable to find help on the Q♣4♠6♦5♦K♣ board to end his run in 21st place.

Jyrki Hilakari

Ruben Padilla opened to 150,000 and Jyrki Hilakari then pushed all-in from the other side of the table.

Jyrki Hilakari: A♥J♠ All in
Ruben Padilla: Q♦Q♥

The pocket pair was cracked on the 7♠5♥4♦A♣8♣ runout and Hilakari doubled for massive 1,725,000.

Sit Back Down, Mister Miravet

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With plenty of chips in the middle to the J♠8♠4♥Q♠ turn already, Zac Miravet checked and Higor Seibel moved all-in with the covering stack. Miravet tossed in a chip for the call and was all-in for 615,000 from under the gun.

Zac Miravet: 8♦8♥ All in
Higor Seibel: A♠7♦

The 4♠ river brought the flush and Miravet was about to get up from his chair rather upset before he noticed that the same card paired the board for him to double.

"I would pay to see that reaction again" someone from the rail said.

Three-way action to the J♣5♥9♠ flop saw Nektarios Dimitrakis check from the big blind. Edward Hatzakortzian bet 200,000 in the hijack, and Thomas Pearce called on the button,

Thomas Pearce: J♣10♠ All in
Nektarios Dimitrakis: A♥J♥

Pearce knew he was behind the second Dimitrakis called, and the 3♠ river confirmed his exit in 22nd position.

Favorable Flop for Dimitrakis

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nektarios Dimitrakis
Nektarios Dimitrakis

Jyrki Hilakari had previously opened to 150,000 and received two callers to simply push all-in on a 9♣9♦3♥ flop, forcing out Joe Hachem and Thomas Pearce.

Ruben Padilla then got some value off table chip leader Naz Sibaei with aces and tens before Bobby Zhang raised to 100,000 and received two callers out of the blinds. Nektarios Dimitrakis checked the 5♥5♠4♦ flop and Hilakari over-bet for 500,000. Zhang folded and Dimitrakis pushed all-in for 945,000.

"How much more?" Hilakari asked and then called a few seconds later.

When Dimitrakis tabled his 5♣5♦ for quads, Hilakari already tried to muck his cards but the A♠Q♥ were exposed as per the all-in showdown rules. No surprise misdeal followed on the 9♦ turn and 2♠ river for Dimitrakis to double.

Shijia Zhai checked from the big blind after the 9♣Q♣5♦ flop, and Martin Pound moved all in for 885,000 sitting under the gun. Zhai used two time bank cards before announcing a call, and the hands were turned up.

Martin Pound: A♠A♦ All in
Shijia Zhai: Q♥8♥

"Eight please," asked Zhai after seeing Pound's pair of aces. The Q♦ turn was even better, as Zhai hit trip queens. The 7♦ river completed the board, leaving Zhai in the lead. The dealer confirmed that Pound was covered by 10,000 chips, ending his run in 24th position.

"That's a bad call," commented Zhai as he collected the pot.

Ben Richardson: K♠Q♣ All in
Fred Tschirsch: 5♠5♥

The 10♣8♠4♥ flop kept Tschirsch in the lead but he had to fade more outs on the A♣ turn. Richardson got there with the Q♦ river to stay in contention.
