Peter Nghia Le Eliminated in 35th Place ($230,475)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Peter Nghia Le
Peter Nghia Le

Peter Nghia Le raised to 400,000 from early position and Nicolas Manion three-bet to 1,400,000. It folded back to Le who four-bet all in for 4,500,000 and Manion called.

Peter Nghia Le: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Nicolas Manion: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

There was an ace on the flop coming {10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{a-Spades} and restricting Le to the three remaining queens in the deck or running hearts, as any jack would give Manion a straight. The turn {5-Spades} and river {9-Hearts} didn't help him and he was eliminated in 35th place.

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Nishant Sharma raised it up to 425,000 from late position and Michael Dyer came along from one seat over in the hijack. Aram Zobian three-bet to 1,875,000 on the button and won the pot.

Artem Metalidi opened to 450,000 and Konstantin Beylin came along out of the big blind. On the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, Beylin check-called a bet of 425,000 and the {7-Diamonds} on the turn brought another check of Beylin. Metalidi bet 1,650,000 and that won the pot uncontested.

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and action checked all the way to Fox. He made it 850,000 to go and claimed the pot after all his opponents had folded.

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Jason Gooch
Jason Gooch

Kao Saechao raised to 450,000 from early position, and when the action folded to Jason Gooch in the cutoff, he moved all in for 3.4m. The action folded back around to Saechao, and he made the call.

Kao Saechao: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Jason Gooch: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Board: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}

Gooch took the lead on the flop when he spiked a queen, and the turn was safe for him, but the river brought the ace of diamonds to give Saechao top pair and eliminate Gooch in 36th place for $230,475.

Lowery Doubles Through Froehlich

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Randy Lowery moved all in from early position for 3,435,000. It folded to Eric Froehlich in the small blind who called and the big blind folded.

Randy Lowery: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Eric Froehlich: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Lowery was in a good position to double, with a better pair and both suits covered. The board came {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs} with the river card causing Lowery minor discomfort, as he momentarily confused it for a nine.

"Why couldn't it come a jack or something," he said, "Then I'd know for sure I was safe."
