Arlan Goldberg
Arlan Goldberg

Dylan Lask opened on the button to 6,300,000 and Arlan Goldberg pushed all in for around 35,000,000. Walter Atwood made the call from the big blind and Lask folded.

Arlan Goldberg : {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Walter Atwood: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Golberg was in desperate shape for a double up, and a board {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts} fell, eliminating him in 24th place.

Veiga Still Chipping Up

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Diogo Veiga
Diogo Veiga

Diogo Veiga, who's has one of the healthier stacks, raised to 4,500,000 from early position, and after it folded around to Andrei Konopelko in late position, he made the call.

The players then went headsup to a flop of {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, where Veiga continued for 6,500,000 and was called by Konopelko. After both players checked the {4-Diamonds} turn, Veiga put out a bet of 8,000,000 on the {6-Spades} river and was called by Konopelko, who mucked when Veiga tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, which sent even more chips to Veiga for him to stack.

Mylenki Doesn't Get There

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Peter Mylenki
Peter Mylenki

A short-stacked Peter Mylenki was all in and behind with {a-}{8-} against Andrei Konopelko's {a-}{k-} but caught a {7-}{6-}{5-} flop with a lot of potential.

Unfortunately for him, the board ran out {10-} {6-} and he had to settle for a payday of $42,788 for finishing in 23rd.

Fitzgerald Doubles While Curry Takes a Hit

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Christopher Fitzgerald
Christopher Fitzgerald

After Adrian Curry, who's been pretty active all day, raised from the under-the-gun to 7,000,000, Christopher Fitzgerald decided on a three-bet shove of 27,750,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Curry made the call.

Christopher Fitzgerald: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Adrian Curry: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, which gave Fitzgerald's stack a much-needed boost and put a dent in Curry's stack.

Solano Doubles on Fitzgerald

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Christopher Fitzgerald moved all in for a stack of 51,000,000 and Jesse Solano called all-in for his last 30,000,000.

Holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, Fitzgerald had the dominating hand, facing {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} in Solano's hand but a board {q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} gave the pot to Solano.

Frei Out Through the Back Door

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Aaron Frei
Aaron Frei

Dylan Lask raised to 6,300,000 in middle position, Aaron Frei three-bet shoved a little over 25,000,000 from the small blind and Lask called after some thought.

Aaron Frei: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Dylan Lask: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop all but ended it on the spot, giving Frei a commanding lead in the hand with a set of deuces. Lask picked up one of his backdoor draws on the {q-Hearts} turn, and when the {9-Hearts} fell on the river, his "let's go baby!" echoed throughout the Amazon room.

Frei, after briefly being stunned by the unfortunate turn of events, then splashed all of his chips across the felt in frustration and made his way out of the tournament area.

Fashakin's Set Ends Eisen's Deep Run

Level 40 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Brandon Eisen
Brandon Eisen

Action folded to Brandon Eisen in the cutoff and he shoved all in for his last 16,800,000. Christopher Fitzgerald, on an even shorter stack than Eisen, tank-folded, Femi Fashakin called from the small blind and Adrian Curry folded his big blind,

Brandon Eisen: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Femi Fashakin: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The dealer spread a flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}, which gave Fashakin a set, but the {9-Clubs} turn gave Eisen outs to the nut flush, which didn't come on the {7-Hearts} river and ended his incredible run in this massive tourney.
