Level 21 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 160,000 from the cutoff and Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet all-in for 1,200,000, and Mokri made the call to put von Kriegenbergh at risk.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh: K♥10♥ All in
Kayhan Mokri: 5♠5♦

It was a flip, but von Kriegenbergh would need to improve to stay in the tournament. The A♠Q♥8♥ gave von Kriegenbergh extra outs in the form of a straight and flush draw, but the 9♠ on the turn and 4♦ couldn't connect for von Kriegenbergh, sending him to the payout desk in 22nd place.

Level 21 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With the big blind Aleksandr Zubov forced all in, Gabriel Andrade limped in from middle position with K♦J♠ before Jonathan Jaffe raised all in for 3,850,000 from the cutoff. That got the rest of the table to fold, and it was the two players heads-up, with Zubov at risk on the stone bubble.

Aleksandr Zubov: 8♣7♦ All in
Jonathan Jaffe: K♠Q♣

Zubov had two live cards, but the A♠9♣2♣5♣3♥ runout was no help, giving the pot to Jaffe and making Zubov the unfortunate bubble boy.
