Richard Ali raised from the hijack and Ben Zamani called from the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Zamani checked, Ali jammed for about 800,000 effective, and Zamani called all in with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}, leading Ali's {K-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The {3-Hearts} turn and {K-Diamonds} river completed the board, giving Ali kings and eights to eliminate Zamani.

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Jeff Siegal shoved from the hijack for just over a million and Richard Ali called from the big blind with a covering stack.

Jeff Siegal: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Richard Ali: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

Ali had the preflop advantage and Siegal needed help from the deck to survive. The board ran out {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Ali's queens held up for him to win the pot and end Siegal's run in this event.

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Edouard Echinard ran ace-four into Benjamin Zamani's pocket kings and his stack suffered a devastating hit. Echinard shoved his last 150,000 shortly afterwards when he was in the hijack. Tristan Wade reshoved on the button and both players in the blinds released their hands.

Echinard showed {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and was up against {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. The {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} board didn't rescue him and he left the tournament in 24th place.

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Eric Afriat made it 175,000 in the cutoff and button Bob Shao three-bet for about three-quarters of his stack. Afriat moved all in and Shao stalled for a bit to secure a pay jump. Jonathan Tamayo busted in the meantime and Shao then made the call.

Afriat: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Shao: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The board of {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} shipped the big pot to Afriat while Shao walked away in 27th place.
