Mostly Shoves Preflop

Level 27 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante

The blinds have been increasing every 20 hands at this final table, and there wasn't a ton of action in that last level. There were a few big shoves, including Lukas "rustyhusky" Hafner three bet squeezing for nearly 30 bigs over a min raise and call.

Play is still six handed. Xiongbin "zxb8553624" Zhang is the short stack with 21,000,000 and change, while Eduardo Pires is the leader with over 58,000,000.

Pires Four Bet Shoves Preflop

Level 28 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 250,000 ante

Chipleader Eduardo Pires raised to 4,000,000, and fellow Brazilian Tauan Naves reraised to 10,200,000. Pires didn't take long to move all in, having Naves covered, and the latter thought for a while before kicking his cards in. This puts Pires back over the 70,000,000 marker.

Victor Begara Eliminated in 6th Place ($252,031)

Level 29 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 300,000 ante

Action folded around to the chip leader Eduardo Pires on the button, and he moved all in, with both of the blinds having around 10 bigs. Victor Begara called all in holding {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}, and he was dominating the {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of Pires.

Begara looked like he would double after the flop of {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, and the {4-Spades} turn. However, the {9-Hearts} came on the river, sinking Begara in sixth place.

Paul "PaulRisman" Fisher Crippled, Eliminated in 5th Place ($354,317)

Level 29 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 300,000 ante

Paul "PaulRisman" Fisher was the latest player to bow out in 5th place, earning over $350,000 for his efforts. Fisher lost most of his chips in a blind vs blind confrontation with Lukas "rustyhusky" Hafner. The two would get all the chips in on a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Fisher held pocket kings, and was well ahead of the {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} of Hafner. However, the {5-Diamonds} came right on the turn to give Hafner a winning straight.

That left Risman with less than five big blinds, and those chips would go in shortly after. However, his Ace-Seven was dominated by the Ace-King of Hafner, who finished the deed after the board ran down queen high.

With that, just four players remain!

Xiongbin "zxb8553624" Zhang Eliminated in 4th Place ($498,115)

Level 29 : 1,250,000/2,500,000, 300,000 ante

Xiongbin "zxb8553624" Zhang moved all in on the button for his final 21 million and change, and he looked to be in great shape to double up, as his {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} was dominating the {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} of Lukas "rustyhusky" Hafner. However, that quickly changed after the flop came down {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. A deuce on the turn left Zhang drawing to three outs, but none of them would come on the river, giving Hafner the come from behind knockout.

Pires Picks Off Big Bluff

Level 30 : 1,500,000/3,000,000, 350,000 ante

In the first significant hand of heads up play Eduardo Pires raised to 6,000,000 preflop, and Lukas "rustyhusky" Hafner called. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and Hafner checked to Pires, who continued for three million. Hafner check raised to 11 million, Pires called, and the {9-Clubs} hit the turn.

Hafner continued the aggression with a bet of 18,890,000, and Pires called once again to see the {2-Diamonds} complete the board. Hafner fired once again, 22,900,000 and change this time, and Pires looked him up one more time.

Hafner showed just {j-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a busted straight, and Pires rolled over {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} to take a big lead in this heads up battle.
