Nick Becker

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jason Koon raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Tamas Adamszki three-bet shoved in the big blind for 210,000, putting himself at risk. Koon took some time to think through his decision before eventually flicking in the call.

Tamas Adamszki: K♦J♦ All in
Jason Koon: A♠5♥

The board ran out 2♠3♠5♣3♦6♦ and Koon's two pair, treys and fives, proved to be best.

Justin Bonomo just cracked the 3,000,000-chip milestone after busting Sirzat Hissou.

Bonomo then moved all in and Hissou called for 270,000 with A♥6♣ for a pair of aces, but Bonomo had him out-kicked holding A♠Q♥ and Hissou hit the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Alexander Zubov who limped in from the small blind. Michael Moncek then raised to 120,000 in the big blind and Zubov came back with a reraise to 350,000. Moncek quickly slid forward his entire stack and Zubov snap-called for 1,405,000 to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Alexander Zubov: Q♣Q♦ All in
Michael Moncek: K♦3♥

Moncek had been caught making a big move as he had most of his chips at risk against Zubov's queens. The 9♦7♠2♣J♠7♥ board provided Moncek no help as Zubov earned the massive double up, leaving Moncek with just one big blind.

Moncek was all in the next hand with Q♦9♣ and up against Stephen Song's 8♥8♣. Moncek hit two pair on a board of Q♣9♠7♣5♣, but Song spiked the 8♠ on the river to make a set and send Moncek to the rail.
