Level 29
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
From the cutoff, Ricky Fohrenbach opened to 120,000 only to have Jesse Chinni three-bet jam all in for 1,060,000. Once Thomas Ross folded from the big, Fohrenbach immediately made the call and slammed his cards down.
Fohrenbach: 
Chinni: 
With Chinni all in and behind, the 
flop gave him no additional outs as the dealer dropped the 
landed on the turn.
Only three cards could keep Chinni alive, but when the 
fell on the river, he would be forced to head to the rail in 7th place for a $108,914 payday as Fohrenbach moves to 2,700,000 in chips.
Level 29
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Catching the action on the 
flop we found Nicholas Blumenthal and Ricky Fohrenbach exchanging a bet and a call to see the 
fall on the turn.
As Fohrenbach continued his trademark stare-down on Blumenthal, he fired out 75,000 when the river landed the

Blumenthal made the call, but would muck at the sight of Fohrenbach's

Level 29
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Sean LeFort pushed all in from middle position for roughly 800,000 and Nicholas Blumenthal iso-shoved next to act.
LeFort: 
Blumenthal: 
With LeFort in the lead, but in a race for his tournament survival, the 
board would ensure the chips shipped his way as he moved to over 1,700,000 while Blumenthal slipped to 900,000 in chips.
Level 29
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
"Time to have an amazing race Maria!"
That piece of magic was provided by Lauren Kling from the rail.
Level 29
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
From the cutoff, Nicholas Blumenthal shipped his final 720,000 into the pot and Ricky Fohrenbach iso-shoved the button.
Blumenthal:
Fohrenbach:
With Blumenthal in the lead, the 
flop gave Fohrenbach an additional four outs to a gutshot.
The 
on the turn changed little, and when the landed on the river, Blumenthal was pushed the double to roughly 1,800,000 as Fohrenbach slipped to roughly 1,700,000 in chips.
Level 29
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Ricky Fohrenbach entered the pot from the cutoff to 120,000 only to have Allen Bari announce, "I raise... to 4 million!"
Once the blinds passed and the action returned to Fohrenbach, he deliberated for nearly ninety seconds before making the call for his 1,720,000-chip stack.
Fohrenbach: 
Bari:
With Fohrenbach holding the lead in the race for his tournament life, the 
flop switched Bari into the lead but still left Fohrenbach needing any queen, ten or seven to snatch it back.
The 
on the turn did little to change the hand, and when the 
completed the board, Fohrenbach was forced to hit the rail in 6th place collecting $142,821 in prizemoney as Bari moves to roughly 8,000,000 in chips - virtually three quarters of the chips in play!

"Mash potato!"
That was Jason Mercier announcing his arrival on the rail to sweat Allen Bari alongside Dan O'Brien.
Also on the rail, but currently occupied playing a three-handed game on an iPad is Vanessa Selbst, Jeff Madsen and Matthew Waxman.
