Tyler Boyer

Level 10 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Elias Talvitie who raised to 50,000 from the hijack. He was called by Sam Greenwood on the button, before [Removed:502] three-bet all in for his stack of 535,000. After the big blind folded Talvite four-bet all in, which got Greenwood to quickly fold, leaving the players heads up with Mosbock at risk.

[Removed:502]: 10♠10♥ All in
Elias Talvitie: A♥A♣

Mosbock ran into the pocket aces of Talvitie, and once the board ran out 6♥2♥5♣3♣J♣ the pocket aces of Talvitie were still best, eliminating Mosbock.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Juan Pardo opened the action with a raise to 35,000 from the hijack, before Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 80,000 on the button. It folded back to Pardo who made the call.

After the flop came Q♣8♣5♦ both players checked to the 4♣ on the turn. Negreanu then called a bet of 150,000 from Pardo.

The river was the 6♥ and Pardo bet out 370,000, leaving just 30,000 chips behind. After giving it some thought, Negreanu made the call. Pardo tabled J♣10♥ for just jack high, and Negreanu had the winner when he showed Q♥J♠ to take the pot, and leave Pardo short.

Pardo was left with just two big blinds after the hand and was seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated the next hand.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Phil Ivey who raised to 13,000 from early position before Alex Kulev three-bet to 36,000 from middle position. It then folded to Danny Tang in the small blind who called, and Ivey called as well.

After the flop came 6♣J♣Q♦ it checked to Kulev, who bet 40,000. Tang folded and Ivey made the call.

The turn brought the K♥ and Ivey checked. Kulev bet out 75,000. Ivey then raised all in for his stack of 229,000, and Kulev snap-called.

Phil Ivey: K♦J♥ All in
Alex Kulev: Q♠Q♣

Ivey turned two pair but was dominated by the flopped set of Kulev, needing a king to stay in the tournament. The 7♣ brought no help, and the set of queens of Kulev remained best to eliminate Ivey.

Alex Kulev	1,325,000 339,000	339,000

Level 1 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sinan Unlu opened to 7,000 before Jared Bleznick who three-bet to 25,000. Action folded to David Einhorn in the small blind, who four-bet to 77,000. Unlu folded and Bleznick decided to then five-bet to 225,000, before Einhorn six-bet all in for his stack of 1,000,000, and Bleznick snap-called.

Jared Bleznick: A♠A♦ All in
David Einhorn: A♣K♦ All in

On the very first hand of the tournament, Einhorn found himself all in and crushed against the pocket aces of Bleznick. The 8♠K♣2♣ flop gave Einhorn a glimmer of hope, as he paired his king and also had a backdoor flush draw. However, the 8♥ on the turn left him needing just another king to stay alive. Unfortunately for Einhorn, the 7♠ on the river offered no help, and Bleznick secured the double-up, eliminating Einhorn on hand one.

Jared Bleznick	2,007,000 1,007,000	1,007,000

Sinan Unlu	993,000 7,000	7,000
