Harp Plays the Wrong Tune

Level 36 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Not long after busting Alon Guttman, Russ Harp would find himself all in after jamming for around 12,500,000 over a pre-flop raise. Next to act, Ari Oxman re-shoved for 13,500,000 and everyone got out of the way.

Russ Harp: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Ari Oxman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Harp was dominated and fell further behind when the {9-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop gave Oxman top pair. Drawing to runner-runner, Harp didn't connect with the {6-Diamonds} turn or {10-Clubs} river as he headed for the payout desk.

Pollard Hits Miracle Eight

Level 36 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

The action was picked up when three players were all in and the cards were on their backs. William Pollard was at risk for his last 4,600,000 and another opponent shoved for 3,000,000. Vitor Abreu had both covered and made the call.

William Pollard: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Vitor Abreu: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

On a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} it was looking like it might be the end of the road for Pollard as he needed an eight to survive. On the turn his wish came true when the {8-Hearts} rolled off. The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Pollard almost tripled up to a healthy stack.

The board read {7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} by the turn as French was down to potentially his last river card of the tournament. But he spiked the {k-Spades} to earn a double up.

The action was picked up when Raed Abualfilat moved all in from early position for his last 3,400,000. It folded to Paul McMullin on the button who shoved over the top for 4,500,000 and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Paul McMullin: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

On the flop of {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} Abualfilat let out a scream of excitement as he took the lead pairing his ace, however when the {10-Hearts} turn hit it was the set that flipped the tables on the hand.

Bowman Unexpectedly Takes From Jackson

Level 37 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board showing {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and around 7,000,000 in the pot, Greg Bowman checked to David Jackson who bet 4,200,000.

Bowman called and they saw the {9-Hearts} river. Bowman checked again, and this time Jackson checked behind.

"I missed. I was hoping for an eight or a king," Bowman said, showing {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a rivered pair of nines.

Jackson slowly looked back at his cards. "Don't even look. Just muck them," Bowman joked as Jackson did just that to surrender the pot.

"Big hand. And I didn't even get there," Bowman continued.

The action was picked up when two players were all in on a flop of {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Andy Su was the player at risk for his remaining 11,300,000 and was called by Francis Figuereo who had him slightly covered.

Andy Su: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Pollard Runs into Aces; Keem Busts

Level 37 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

William Pollard moved all in for around 5,500,000 and James Scott called.

William Pollard: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
James Scott: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

"Hearts. I need hearts," Pollard pleaded heading to the {10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop.

"Queen," he now began calling for, but he again didn't get his wish as the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

The next hand at this table, Sung Keem was all in from the small blind for around 8,000,000 and up against Raymond Downing on the button.

Sung Keem: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Raymond Downing: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Downing hit top pair on the {5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop and improved to two pair as the board ran out {4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, eliminating Keem.
