Brandon Bloom

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jose Rodriguez Zurita was all in for 785,000 in middle position and at risk against Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff.

Jose Rodriguez Zurita: Q♦J♣
Daniel Negreanu: K♥K♦

The A♦10♥4♣ flop had Negreanu hoping to avoid getting another king, and the 7♠ and A♥ completed the board to keep him ahead.

A count confirmed Negreanu had his opponent slightly covered, and Zurita made his exit as Negreanu continued to eat his sandwich with a renewed glow and a renewed stack.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 700,000, leaving himself roughly 100,000 behind. Seth Davies checked his cards and after a brief moment, jammed for around 1,600,000 from the small blind. Mikita Badziakouski woke up in the big blind with a decision and after using one timebank, grabbed a stack of chips and made the call, covering both players by a small margin and setting up a runout with both Lin and Davies at risk as Lin added his last 100,000 in the middle.

Ren Lin: A♣2♣
Seth Davies: 10♠10♥
Mikita Badziakouski: A♦Q♥

The 7♣10♣K♥ flop gave Davies middle set but also provided a gut-shot straight draw for Badziakouski and the nut flush draw for Lin, setting up some serious turn and river sweats for all players involved.

The turn brought out the 8♠ and when the 8♥ followed on the river, Davies filled up to hold on for a almost a triple up as Badziakouski was left with dust and Lin headed for the exit.

Badziakouski would be essentially forced all in the next hand in the small blind and ended up following Lin to the rail.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♣6♠
Vincent Cafone: A♠Q♠

The board ran out J♥J♦4♥J♠9♠ and the superior kicker stayed in front to eliminate Yotsushika.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Brandon Wilson was all in for about 775,000 in the cutoff and at risk against Arunas Sapitavicius in the small blind.

Brandon Wilson: A♣8♥
Arunas Sapitavicius: A♠7♣

Wilson was in good shape with the slightly better kicker, but the J♣7♦4♣ flop left him needing help. The 9♥ turn gave him a few more outs, but the 4♦ river bricked out and he was eliminated.

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded around to Aram Oganyan who jammed in late position and found one caller from Adrian Mateos in the big blind, setting up a runout with Oganyan the player at risk.

Aram Oganyan: A♣9♣
Adrian Mateos: A♠10♥

The board ran out K♦8♦2♣3♥2♠, keeping Mateos in the lead the whole way through and putting and early end to Oganyan's day.

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 125,000 in early position and Michael Duek moved all in for 510,000 in middle position. Action folded to Jean-Pierre van der Spuy who committed chips in the big blind, and Negreanu folded.

Michael Duek: A♥Q♣
Jean-Pierre van der Spuy: 6♠6♥

The 8♥6♦2♠ flop left Duek instantly drawing dead as the 8♦ turn and 5♦ river confirmed the result.
