Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jason Koon opened to 600,000 on the button and Renat Bohdanov three-bet jammed in the big blind. Koon called off with a stack of around 6,000,000.

Renat Bohdanov: 10♥8♥
Jason Koon: K♠Q♠

Koon was still ahead with king-high after the flop of 7♠J♥5♣, but the 8♠ put Bohdanov in front and Koon couldn't hit a spade as the J♣ river rolled off and he shared some choice words with his opponent.

"30 bigs, ten-eight suited," Koon said under his breath. "World-class stuff."

Aleksejs Ponakovs shoved his last 600,000 and Renat Bohdanov called from the cutoff before Daniel Rezaei came along from the big blind. Action was three ways and Ponakovs was at risk.

The flop was A♥8♥4♥ and Rezaei checked. Bohdanov bet 200,000 and Rezaei folded. With Rezaei out of the way, the cards were turned up.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: Q♣2♣
Renat Bohdanov: A♦10♥

The board finished up 10♠7♦ and Ponakovs was sent to paddle board with the dolphins with an extra $90,700 for his 23rd-place finish.

Chris Land

Level 22 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action folded to Arunas Sapitavicius in the small blind who jammed to put Daniel Negreanu to a decision for his short stack in the big blind. When the vlog camera came out, it was clear that we were about to see five cards as Negreanu called it off to set up a runout and put himself at risk.

Daniel Negreanu: A♥3♥
Arunas Sapitavicius: K♥8♠

The 2♣5♠Q♣ flop was safe for Negreanu, but when the 8♣ jumped out on the turn, he was left needing a four or an ace going to the river. The dealer burned a card and completed the board with the 10♠, offering no help to Negreanu who stood to exit the tournament area just shy of the three table redraw.

Level 22 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna was all in for about 2,250,000 in the big blind and at risk against Frank Brannan on the button.

Santhosh Suvarna: J♠J♣
Frank Brannan: 10♠10♣

Brannan was pipped, but the Q♠10♥3♦ flop vaulted him in front. The 5♣ turn left Suvarna needing a jack to survive, but the K♥ fell on the river and Suvarna was eliminated.

Chris Land

Level 21 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress raised to 250,000 only to see Alex Livingston shove for roughly 825,000. Dvoress made the quick call to set up a runout with Livingston the player at risk.

Alex Livingston: A♠J♥
Daniel Dvoress: A♦10♥

Livingston was in a dominating position for the much needed double headed to the flop but when it came K♠8♣10♦, that all changed as he would now need a queen or a jack on the turn to survive but when the board ran out with the 3♦ and K♥, Livingston's fate was sealed as he stood up to exit the tournament area.

Brandon Bloom

Level 21 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Jason Mercier was all in from under the gun for roughly 1,050,000, Darren Elias was all in from the cutoff for roughly 1,950,000, and both players were at risk against Arunas Sapitavicius in middle position.

Jason Mercier: J♠10♠
Darren Elias: Q♠Q♦
Arunas Sapitavicius: A♦Q♥

The 10♦9♥3♣ flop gave Mercier a bit of help while Elias stayed ahead, but the A♣ turn vaulted Sapitavicius in front, and the 6♣ completed the board to eliminate both Mercier and Elias.
