Matthew Jewett shoved from the button for around 6,300,000 and Jareth East went into the tank before he finally called.

Matthew Jewett: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Jareth East: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop was {7-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Spades}, leaving East a flush draw. The flush came quickly with a {5-Spades} on the turn and Jewett was down to one last card. The river {3-Hearts} was no help and Jewett's magical Main Event run comes to an end in 28th place.

Level 32 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Norbert Koh
Norbert Koh

Norbert Koh raised to 800,000 from the middle position and Chance Kornuth three-bet to put Koh all-in. Koh shrugged, said "guess this is it," and made the call for the 3,800,000 he had behind.

Norbert Koh: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Chance Kornuth: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to keep Koh ahead.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} for Kornuth to pick up the gutshot to a straight but Koh held the blockers.

Unfortunately for Koh, the river brought the {a-Spades} for Kornuth to hit top pair for Koh to bust in 27th place.

Philipe Pizzari Pinto
Philipe Pizzari Pinto

Brazil's Philipe Pizzari Pinto raised to 650,000 under the gun and Chase Bianchi three-bet to 1.7 million from the hijack. Action folded back to Pinto and he called to see a flop of {3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Pinto checked and Bianchi continued for 1.2 million, which the Brazilian called.

On the {8-Hearts} turn, Pinto led out for 2.5 million and Bianchi responded by raising all in. Pinto called off the 2.38 million he had behind and the hands were tabled.

Philipe Pizzari Pinto: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Chase Bianchi: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Bianchi was ahead with aces while Pinto was drawing to a heart flush. Unfortunately for him, the {10-Clubs} river was brick and Bianchi's pocket rockets held to score the knockout.
