Level 18 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ren Lin
Ren Lin

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 200,000 in early position, then Ren Lin moved-all-in for a little over a million in the small blind.

Badziakouski went into the tank, with Lin chiding him, saying "thank you for doubling me up" and "no gamble? Why'd you bet?"

Ultimately Badziakouski opted to call.

Ren Lin: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Mikita Badkouski: {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to double Lin up.

"Touchdown Tom Brady" said Lin as the chips were pushed his way.

Level 18 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ranganath Kanchi
Ranganath Kanchi

Action folded around to the blinds, where Jason Koon shoved to put Ranganath Kanchi all in for his remaining stack. Kanchi instantly called and hands were tabled.

Ranganath Kanchi: {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Jason Koon: {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop pulled Kanchi ahead and he would stay ahead on the {j-Spades} turn; however, the {4-Clubs} river paired Koon's four and Kanchi was eliminated in 13th place.

"I don't know if my shove was good or a torch!" an incredulous Koon said after the hand. "That was crazy."

After Ranganath Kanchi limped in middle position, Mikita Badziakouski called in the small blind and Elio Fox checked his big blind.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and after a pair of checks in front of him, Kanchi bet 175,000. Only Badziakouski called.

The turn brought the {k-Diamonds}, and again Badziakouski checked. This time he faced a bet of 500,000 from Kanchi, which he then check-raised all-in for about 1.1 million. Kanchi made the call.

Mikita Badziakouski: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Ranganath Kanchi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Badziakouski had Kanchi crushed with his set versus top pair and a flush draw.

Badziakouski faded the flush with the {8-Clubs} on the river, getting a big double-up and dropping Kanchi under a million chips.

Mikita Badziakouski: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Antonios Rouggeris: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Rouggeris was looking to spike one of his overcards to survive, but the {6-Clubs} turn and {5-Spades} river bricked out for Rouggeris and he was eliminated in 15th place.

Shaun Deeb: {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Ali Imsirovic: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Deeb had started the hand with about 900,000, and his top pair was in bad shape versus Imsirovic's aces.

Carlos Villamarin
Carlos Villamarin

After being put to the test for his tournament life against Jason Koon and calling correctly with a rivered top pair, Carlos Villamarin just won a huge pot off Ren Lin to now challenge Koon for the chip lead.

On a turn board reading {7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}, Villamarin checked to Lin, who bet 150,000. Villamarin replied with a check-raise to 675,000.

Once again, Lin dropped a "no gamble no future" reference as he moved all-in for 2,240,000 effective.

Villamarin snap-called and showed Lin the nuts.

Carlos Villamarin: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Ren Lin: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The {3-Clubs} on the river couldn't save Lin, and his stack was shrunk below two million, while Villamarin soars over five million.

Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

All of the chips went into the middle preflop, and it was Shaun Deeb who held {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} versus the pocket {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} held by Leng.

The dealer flopped the {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-} and Leng remained ahead but Deeb flopped an open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Deeb turned a straight to take the lead.

The river card was the {10-Hearts} and that made it official as Deeb survived his all-in and chipped up to over one million.
