Richard Gryko Eliminated in 16th Place ($32,256)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Richard Gryko
Richard Gryko

One hand after losing the massive pot to Rep Porter, Richard Gryko faced the open raise of Anton Morgenstern for the size of the pot and three-bet the pot from the cutoff. That forced out all remaining players all the way to Morgenstern, who moved all in and Gryko called it off for around 570,000 in total.

Richard Gryko: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Anton Morgenstern: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}

The board came {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Gryko went from a comfortable above-average stack to zero in a matter of minutes, he takes home $32,256 for his efforts.

A Chip and a Chair for Sammartino

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

Hand #1

Dario Sammartino raised to 90,000 and Anson Tsang on the button three-bet the pot to 310,000. Sammartino gave it some thought and called. On the {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, Sammartino pushed all in and Tsang called it off for 580,000.

Anson Tsang: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Dario Sammartino: {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Sammartino had a ton of outs, but the {Q-Hearts} turn and {3-Hearts} river were blanks to leave the Italian with 20,000.

Hand #2

Sammartino moved all in blind for the last 20,000 before he even received the first card and once the deal was completed, Tsang raised the pot to 160,000. Martin Kozlov called in the big blind and the flop came {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Kozlov shoved for 330,000 and Tsang called to create a three-way showdown.

Dario Sammartino: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Martin Kozlov: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Anson Tsang: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}

The {8-Hearts} turn and {9-Clubs} river completed the board and Sammartino quadrupled up with queens and eights, while Kozlov won the big side pot with his tens and nines to double through Kozlov.

Dario Sammartino Eliminated in 15th Place ($32,256)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

Dario Sammartino shoved from the big blind for his last 180,000 on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Brandon Shack-Harris called to put him at risk.

Dario Sammartino: {A-}{7-}{4-}{2-}
Brandon Shack-Harris: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Sammartino was ahead with two pair and Shack-Harris needed to improve in order to stack him. Sammartino retained his lead on the {Q-Spades} turn, but the {K-Spades} river gave Shack-Harris aces and kings to take the pot and end Sammartino's run in this tournament.

Shack-Harris Makes Klein Fold in Massive Pot

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Brandon Shack-Harris
Brandon Shack-Harris

Brandon Shack-Harris opened to 115,000 from middle position, Loren Klein three-bet the pot from the cutoff to 420,000, and Shack-Harris went into the tank for about a minute before he four-bet to 1.35 million. Klein called.

The flop came {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Shack-Harris shoved for about 700,000, sending Klein into the tank.

"I've got a big draw," Klein joked.

"I expect nothing less," replied Shack-Harris as he rested his head over his crossed arms atop the table.

"You don't have to hide. There's no read."

"Oh, I'm just taking a nap... You've got that three-to-king straight draw?"

"Show me diamonds and spades," Klein said as he ultimately folded several minutes later. Shack-Harris tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and said he didn't have diamonds. Klein let out an expletive as Shack-Harris dragged the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

Aaron Duczak Eliminated in 14th Place ($42,032)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Aaron Duczak
Aaron Duczak

Aaron Duczak got his stack in on a {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop against Richard Lyndaker, who had him covered.

Aaron Duczak: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}
Richard Lyndaker: {K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Duczak found himself trailing Lyndaker's flopped set and needed to improve to survive. The {10-Hearts} turn and {10-Clubs} river missed Duczak and further improved Lyndaker to a boat, so Lyndaker took the pot to end Duczak's run in this event.

"I should have potted pre," said Duczak as he exited the tournament area.

Anton Morgenstern Eliminated in 13th Place ($42,032)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Anton Morgenstern
Anton Morgenstern

Rep Porter raised to 150,000 in the small blind and short stack Anton Morgenstern, who started the hand with fewer than 10 big blinds, called from the big blind. On the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, Porter bet 300,000 and Morgenstern moved all in, Porter called.

Anton Morgenstern: {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Rep Porter: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

The {9-Clubs} on the turn gave Morgenstern two pair, but the {J-Spades} on the river improved Porter to a straight, eliminating Morgenstern in 13th place for $42,032.

Martin Kozlov Eliminated in 12th Place ($52,626)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante
Martin Kozlov
Martin Kozlov

In the last hand of the level over on table 439, Martin Kozlov raised to 210,000 first to act and Brandon Shack-Harris called on the button, the Australian rail started cheering for their countryman. Both Anson Tsang in the small blind and Loren Klein in the big blind folded, the latter joked "Martin doesn't like dinner breaks."

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Kozlov pushed for his last 275,000, Shack-Harris called instantly.

Martin Kozlov: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Brandon Shack-Harris: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The {K-Diamonds} on the turn left Kozlov drawing dead right away, the {8-Hearts} river completed the board and both players shook hands. "I would have called either way," Shack-Harris added.

William Kopp Eliminated in 11th Place ($52,626)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
William Kopp
William Kopp

William Kopp shoved for what looked like 365,000 into an existing pot of 415,000 on a {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop. Brandon Shack-Harris called to put him at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

William Kopp: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Brandon Shack-Harris: {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Kopp had a flush draw and Shack-Harris had flopped a wrap. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave Shack-Harris the nut straight and left Kopp in need of a heart on the river. The final card was the {3-Diamonds} so Shack-Harris took the pot to end Kopp's run in this event.

Anson Tsang Eliminated in 10th Place ($67,210)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
Anson Tsang
Anson Tsang

Scott Bohlman raised to 175,000 from the hijack, Brandon Shack-Harris called from the button, Anson Tsang called from the small blind, and Loren Klein called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Tsang bet 700,000. Klein folded, Bohlman shoved, Shack-Harris folded, and Tsang went into the tank. He turned his head to look at the action at the adjacent table; a substantial pot was in progress. After the hand had played out and it became apparent that a player had doubled, Tsang called to put himself at risk.

Scott Bohlman: {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Anson Tsang: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Tsang was ahead with his queens but Bohlman had lots of room to improve with a wrap. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn gave Bohlman the nut straight, and although the {Q-Hearts} river gave Tsang trips, it wasn't enough, and Bohlman took the pot to end Tsang's run in this event.

Wong Doubles Through Shack-Harris

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Jerry Wong
Jerry Wong

Action folded to Brandon Shack-Harris on the button and he raised to 350,000. Jerry Wong three-bet the pot from the small blind, Shack-Harris announced a pot-sized four-bet, and Wong called to put himself at risk for a total of 1,845,000.

Brandon Shack-Harris: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Jerry Wong: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Shack-Harris had the best of it with his aces and Wong needed help from the deck to survive. Although Shack-Harris extended his lead when he made trips on the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, the {K-Diamonds} turn gave Wong a flush draw. Even though it didn't come in, the final card was the {K-Spades} to give Wong trip kings for the double-up.

"I need a shower," said Wong as the dealer verified the stacks before pushing the pot Wong's way.
