Level 26
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Now that we have reached the final table, the tournament director has declared that our remaining nine players will go on a 75-minute dinner break.
Action folded to Dan Smith in the hijack and he raised to 65,000. When action reached Erik Aude in the small blind, he three-bet to 150,000, the big blind folded, and Smith made the call, bringing about the 
flop.
Aude proceeded to check-call a bet of 100,000 before checking the 
turn. Smith kept the pressure on with a bet of 220,000, but this time Aude woke up with a check-raise to 500,000. Smith made the call and then snap-called when Aude moved all in for about 660,000 on the 
river.
Aude rolled over 
for a set, but it was no good against Smith's 
set of aces. It was a monster pot, and Smith will be taking right around 3,000,000 million to the final table.
Derek Gregory opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Chamath Palihapitiya called from the cutoff seat. Amir Lehavot also called from the big blind for a three-way pot.
All three players checked the 
flop.
However, when the 
fell on the turn, Lehavot checked again, prompting a 90,000 bet from Gregory. Palihapitiya then pushed all in for his last 275,000. Lehavot folded and action was back on Gregory, who tanked for a good three minutes before eventually calling.
Gregory: 
for a pair of deuces.
Palihapitiya: 
for a flush draw and inside straight draw.
Palihapitiya had outs, however, the 
river bricked for him and he was eliminated in 11th place.
Andrea Dato opened to 60,000 from early position and action folded around to Kevin Schulz on the button, who three-bet to 140,000. It was folded back around to Dato, who thought it over and then announced he was all in for approximately 500,000. Schulz snap-called and hands were revealed.
Dato: 
Schulz: 
Dato's tournament life was in dire straits and the 
sealed the deal for Dato - eliminating him in 12th place.
Schulz is up to 2.4 million after that one.
Erik Aude was under the gun and opened for 60,000, which was called by Tommy Vedes and Panayote Vilandos in the small and big blind respectively. The 
flop saw it go check-check to Aude, who put out a bet of 80,000.
Vedes made the call, and at that point Vilandos check-raised all in. Both Aude and Vedes folded and Vilandos took down the pot without further resistance, showing

Level 25
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Level 25 has expired and tournament officials have paused the clock so they can race off the yellow T1,000 chips.
Dan Smith opened to 55,000 from early position and Tommy Vedes went all in for 359,000 from the next seat over. It was folded back around to Smith and he made the call to put Vedes at risk.
Vedes: 
Smith: 
The 
left Vedes with quads, which was more than enough for the double up to 778,000.
Smith slipped to 1,075,000.
