Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jason Klapman
Jason Klapman

Jason Klapman was all in preflop for about 625,000, Paul Balzano had the chips committed to challenge his all in. Fares Santana was in the big blind and thought for a bit but eventually he gave it up.

Jason Klapman {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Paul Balzano {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Klapman was in good position to secure a double up but the flop had other ideas as it came {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the river came the {3-Hearts} to send Klapman home in 18th place.

Thomas Boyden Eliminated in 17th Place ($16,179)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Thomas Boyden
Thomas Boyden

Robert Manjura opened to 150,000 from under the gun and Thomas Boyden moved all in for around 700,000. Manjura snap-called and the two turned over their cards.

Thomas Boyden: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Robert Manjura: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

It was a classic flip between the two and the dealer then fanned out {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} on the flop, leaving Manjura in the lead as Boyden needed to pair up or was going to be eliminated.

The {3-Hearts} turn and {6-Diamonds} failed to improve the hand of Boyden, sending out the door in sixteenth place for $16,179.

Michael Cohen Eliminated in 16th Place ($16,179)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Cohen
Michael Cohen

Paul Balzano opened to 150,000 from middle position and Robert Manjura called. Michael Cohen three-bet shoved a little bit over 1,700,000 from the button and Balzano instantly jammed over the top. Manjura hit the tank but in the end, he folded {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} face-up and the two that remained tabled their hands.

Michael Cohen: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Paul Balzano: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop came down {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Cohen was in need of a dime to stay alive. The {4-Diamonds} landed on the turn and {5-Spades} on the river, failing to help Cohen as he was eliminated by the jacks of Balzano.

Ott Sends Santana Into the Tank

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Fares Santana bet 405,000 into a pot of about 450,000.

John Ott waited for a couple of moments before jamming all in to put Santana at risk. Santana went deep into the tank and thought for several moments, even standing up at one point.

But eventually he threw his cards with force into the middle and walked away from the table as the pot was sent over to Ott.
