As recapped to us by Brian Rast, he opened to 3,000 from the button and Scott Baumstein three-bet to 9,500 from the big blind. Rast four-bet to 30,000, Baumstein five-bet shoved for roughly 230,000 and Rast called.

Rast showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, ahead of Baumstein's {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, no help to Baumstein, locking up Rast's seat in the Round of 16 on Thursday.

Round of 64; Blinds 4,000/8,000

Jason McConnon and Phil Hellmuth had been tossing the chip lead back and forth for nearly three hours. Finally, McConnon moved all in for 74,700 on the button and Hellmuth asked for a count before making the call.

Phil Hellmuth: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Jason McConnon: {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The flop came {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Hellmuth's king-high was still in the lead. The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and McConnon was left drawing dead to the {6-Diamonds} on the river. Hellmuth headed for a quick break before his next match begins against Jake Schindler.

Burns Last to Reach Round of 32

Level 25 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Sergi Reixach had been waiting for Charles Furey and Simon Burns to finish their match, the last one in the round of 64 still running. Eventually, it was Burns that emerged victorious at blinds of 4,000-8,000.

On the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} turn, Furey jammed with the {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Burns called with {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for trips nines. The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Burns was the last player to book his ticket for the next round.

"Do you need a toilet break?" Reixach inquired and Burns nodded, quickly headed out of the tournament area.

Schemion Advances to Round of 16

Level 26 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Ole Schemion had two very long matches and now a short one, as he knocked out Caufman Talley in the first level. They had been playing some 14 minutes and Talley ended up five-bet jamming with {q-}{j-} and Schemion gave it some thought before making the call with {a-}{k-}.

A king appeared on the flop and that was all it took for the German to get an early night. He will be back the next day at noon when the round of 16 kicks off at noon local time.

(blinds 1,000/2,000)

Soverel and Smith in the Lead

Level 27 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

John Smith flopped a straight with {5-Spades}{4-Clubs} and had a bet of 16,000 on the river called by Mark Burford to scoop a pot and establish an early lead.

On the other side of the table, Sam Soverel is even further ahead in his duel with James Dambrosio. The board f {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{x-} was all but rushed away and Soverel's bet of 10,000 was called. Soverel showed {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Dambrosio tapped the table in defeat, said "nice hand" and mucked his cards.
