Biao Ding raised to 400,000 under the gun and Daniel Dvoress moved all in for 1,850,000 in the hijack. [Removed:607] rejammed the button and Ding folded.

Daniel Dvoress: 5♠5♣
[Removed:607]: A♣Q♣

The 6♥4♠2♥ flop kept Dvoress in good shape, but the A♥ turn left him needing a three or five to survive. The J♥ landed on the river, however, and Dvoress was eliminated in 18th place for $90,700.

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

Action folded to Lachezar Petkov in the cutoff who raised to 400,000 and found one caller in Artur Martirosian from the button before seeing the flop come Q♥3♠J♦.

Petkov checked over to Martirosian who put out a bet of 450,000. Petkov paused briefly before making the call to see the turn bring the K♥.

Action checked through, prompting the dealer to put the 6♥ out on the river.

Petkov led out with a bet totaling 650,000 only to see Martirosian come in for a raise to 3,700,000. Petkov spent a short time in the tank before eventually deciding to make the call. Martirosian turned over AxQx only to see the bad news when Petkov turned over the 10♦9♦ for a straight that was good in what had become a massive pot by the river.

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

Biao Ding open-jammed on the button and got action from Erik Seidel in the small blind.

Biao Ding: A♣3♣
Erik Seidel: A♦K♠

The flop of K♥10♥9♥ paired Seidel's king to have Ding drawing practically dead to running threes or hearts and straight cards for a chop.

The 3♠ turn kept him alive and the entire table was shocked as the 3♥ landed on the river to give him trips to double up through the Poker Hall of Famer, who took the beat with a smile.

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."
