Yavine Brewer opened to 125,000 from the button, the small blind called and Stephen Foutty in big blind three-bet to 350,000. Brewer quickly shoved his 1,400,000 folding the small blind out but having Foutty snap-call.

The flop saved the day for Brewer when the board ran out 
hitting his set to crack the kings of Foutty, leaving him short. He wasn't able to spin it up and busted the next hand.

As the end of the day closes in there are several big stacks in the room.
Kyle Shigano propelled himself close to the chip lead thanks to a sick cooler between his 
and the 
of Eric Baldwin. The two players went all in before the flop, and the aces of Shigano held up when the dust settled.
Baldwin was left short and was eliminated from the tournament on the very next hand.

Level 21

It all started with a raise to 80,000 in early position by Bastien Joly. On the button, Lisa Taylor called and the big blind also stuck around.
On the flop 
, Joly continued with a bet of 130,000 after the big blind checked and Taylor called. The big blind got out of the way and they went heads-up to the turn.
The 
was dealt and Joly put in another bet of 278,000. Another call followed by Taylor and the 
tiver completed the board. A quick "all in" was announced by Joly and snap-called the bet of roughly 475,000.
Joly showed 
but was clearly flustered when Taylor tabled 
for the nut flush.
