Nicholas Danias Eliminated in 22nd Place ($324,650)

Level 33 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Nicholas Danias
Nicholas Danias

Outer Table Hand #28: Alex Livingston shoved all in from early position for 7,500,000 and Austin Lewis called in the cutoff.

From the big blind, Nicholas Danias called all in for 5,825,000 total.

Danias: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Livingston: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Lewis: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Both Danias and Livingston were at risk, and Lewis - the covering stack - had both players pipped with his pocket pair.

The flop landed {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Hearts} to give each player a sweat. Danias had picked up a gusthot to the last remaining ten in the deck, while both Lewis and Livingston had straight draws. Livingston also picked up a flush draw to go with his double gutshot.

The turn of the {5-Hearts} changed little, but it would be the {k-Hearts} on the river that would see Livingston score a near-triple with his Broadway straight.

Danias' rivered top pair wasn't enough, and he was eliminated in 22nd place for a $324,650 payday.

Marcelo Cudos
Marcelo Cudos

Main Feature Hand #21: Michael Niwinski raised to 900,000 in the cutoff and Hossein Ensan filled up from the small blind. Marcelo Cudos moved all in for 7,900,000 in total out of the big blind and Niwinski folded, Ensan quickly called.

Marcelo Cudos: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Hossein Ensan: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The {q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop left Cudos on thin ice, and the {6-Clubs} turn and {3-Hearts} river brought no miracle. Cudos was eliminated in 23rd place and takes home $324,650 for his efforts.

Johnathan Dempsey
Johnathan Dempsey

Hand #13: Dario Sammartino raised to 900,000 from the button and Johnathan Dempsey shoved in the big blind for 9,800,000 which Sammartino called.

Johnathan Dempsey: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Dario Sammartino: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} to keep Sammartino ahead.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} for Dempsey to pick up a gutshot to a straight but he bricked the river as the {3-Clubs} completed the board. Dempsey was sent to the rail in 24th place just a few minutes after returning from the 60-minute break for $324,650.

Hiroki Nawa Eliminated in 25th Place ($324,650)

Level 33 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Hiroki Nawa
Hiroki Nawa

Outer Table Hand #15: From the hijack, Hiroki Nawa shoved all in for 2,250,000 and Preben Stokkan called in the big blind.

Nawa: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Stokkan: {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Nawa was at risk but a slight favorite before the {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop connected with Stokkan.

Needing an ace or nine, the {10-Diamonds} and {6-Spades} run out wouldn't be what Nawa was looking for, and he was eliminated in 25th place for a $324,650 payday.

Zack Koerper
Zack Koerper

Main Feature Hand #6: Marcelo Cudos raised the button to 800,000 and Zack Koerper moved all in for 4.05 million from the small blind. Cudos snap-called.

Zack Koerper: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Marcelo Cudos: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop brought the case ace but Koerper had runner-runner possibilities. The {6-Diamonds} turn kept him drawing live to a flush draw, but the {8-Spades} river was not what he was looking for.

Oliver Bithell
Oliver Bithell

Outer Table Hand #5: Oliver Bithell moved all in from under the gun for 4,800,000 and won the blinds and ante.

Outer Table Hand #6: Austin Lewis raised to 800,000 from middle position and Timothy Su called on the button. From the big blind, Oliver Bithell moved all in for 5,400,000. Lewis folded, but Su called.

Bithell: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Su: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Bithell was at risk with his suited over cards, and when the dealer spread the {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop, he picked up outs to a gutshot straight draw.

The turn of the {j-Spades} gave Bithell counterfeit outs as any nine or eight, to go along with his ace, queen, or ten would see him double.

The river fell the {5-Spades}, and Bithell was eliminated in 27th place for a $324,650 payday.

Yuri Dzivielevski Eliminated in 28th Place ($261,430)

Level 33 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Yuri Dzivielevski
Yuri Dzivielevski

Chris Barton raised to 900,000 from early position and Yuri Dzivielevski responded with a three-bet to 3.4 million from the big blind.

Barton pushed back with a four-bet and Dzivielevski called off the 650,000 he had back.

Dzivielevski : {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Barton: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

It was a bad spot for Dzivielevski but he got a little help on the {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop.

The {10-Spades} turn gave him a bunch more outs as a spade would give him a flush, but it wasn't in the cards as the {3-Diamonds} bricked on the river to give Barton the knockout.

Yuri Dzivielevski
Yuri Dzivielevski takes his leave in 28th place.

Dzivielevski's elimination in 28th place means the final 27 players will now redraw down to the final three tables.

Luke Graham Eliminated in 29th Place ($261,430)

Level 32 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Luke Graham
Luke Graham

Milos Skrbic raised to 600,000 under the gun, Garry Gates made it 2.2 million a couple of seats over, and Nick Marchington put in a cold four-bet to 4.9 million in the cutoff. Luke Graham shoved from the small blind for about 11.3 million and action folded back to Marchington. He got a count and called with {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Graham needed to improve with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and the {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop brought him little. However the {j-Hearts} turn gave him a combo draw.

"Very interesting card," Marchington said with a smile.

The {3-Hearts} river completed Graham's flush but paired the board to give Marchington jacks full for a knockout.

Mario Navarro

[Removed:140] opened to 600,000 in the hijack and Mario Navarro jammed out of the small blind for around 5,000,000, which Rau called instantly.

Mario Navarro: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
[Removed:140]: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop gave Rau top pair, however, Navarro picked up some hope with a gutshot on the {8-Diamonds} turn. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Navarro was eliminated in 30th place for $261,430.

"Always a sweat," Timothy Su mentioned in table chat.
