Chris Ferguson 
/
Steven Albini: 
/ 
Stephen Rivers: / 
- fold on sixth
A four-way pot initially, it was reduced to just three contenders after Bertrand Grospellier folded on fourth street. Chris Ferguson bet and Steven Albini and Stephen Rivers called. Rivers led out on fifth when he caught an open pair of tens but neither of his opponents folded. Ferguson then paired an eight and Rivers checked to him. Ferguson fired and only Albini stuck around with a very drawy board.
Ferguson checked the river, as it would turn out trying to set a trap, but Albini tapped back his two pair. Ferguson showed two aces among his hole cards for aces full and claimed the sizeable pot with a full house.

Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Bertrand Grospellier's stack has plummeted to just 35,000 after he lost two big hands in the last round.
The first saw him three-bet over Stephen Rivers' raise and Rivers made it four bets. Grospellier called and fired on fourth when his board improved to ace-king suited. Rivers, however, raised and Grospellier called. Rivers then fired on fifth and sixth, earning two more calls before they both knuckled on the final round. Rivers opened aces up and took the pot.

Sexton left the party when he hit an ugly five on fourth street but Grospellier took the betting lead with sevens out. Ferguson called and Grospellier barreled on the next round. Ferguson opted to raise and Grospellier reluctantly called. He called again on sixth but couldn't pull one final call on the river and Ferguson scooped the pot without showing.

Farhad Mobassery: /

Michael Moore: /

At almost the same time, a bigger pot emerged over on the other table. Michael Moore and Farhad Mobassery were already two bets in until sixth, on which Moore bet and Mobassery raised, Moore called. Moore checked seventh and called a bet to get shown for aces up. Moore said in table chat he had already kings up on fourth and Mobassery was surprised, as he'd expected such a hand to bet into him prior.
