Level 16
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
There was heads-up action on a K♥3♣4♣ flop between Justin Bonomo, who checked from the small blind, and Bill Klein who bet 90,000 from late position.
Bonomo raised to 300,000 and Klein fired back with a three-bet to 850,000. Bonomo called.
The turn was the 3♦ and Bono check-called a 375,000 bet from Klein.
Bonomo checked again on the A♥ river and Klein used one time extension chip before firing a bet of 700,000. Bonomo called.
"Good call" Klein said, tabling 7♠6♠ for a missed gutshot straight draw. Bonomo showed K♦Q♣ for two pair, kings and threes and was awarded a massive pot for the gutsy bluff-catch.

Bill Klein opened to 180,000 from early position and was called by Justin Bonomo in the cutoff as well as Anton Morgenstern on the button.
Action checked to Morgenstern on a flop of 6♥4♥10♥ and he bet out for 250,000. Neither of his opponents was going anywhere as they both called to keep action three-handed heading to the turn.
The turn came 9♣, prompting Klein and Bonomo to check once again. Morgenstern did not slow down, instead making it 600,000 to go. Klein responded by moving all in for around 2,800,000, getting a quick fold from Bonomo and sending Morgenstern deep into the tank.
After burning through one time extension, Morgenstern laid down his hand to take a hit to his stack and send some chips back towards Klein after the latter's failed bluff attempt against Bonomo.

Anton Morgenstern raised to 175,000 from the cutoff and Seth Davies three-bet to 450,000. Morgenstern four-bet all in and Davies called to put Morgenstern at risk.
Anton Morgenstern: 7♥7♣
Seth Davies: A♥K♣
Morgenstern was ahead on the Q♠10♠6♦ flop although Davies did pick up some additional outs. One of those outs came on the K♠ turn, leaving Davies well ahead of his opponent. The 4♦ river changed nothing for either player and Morgenstern was sent to the rail.

Hyun responded with a raise to 550,000, sending Arends into the tank. Eventually he released his holding to send the pot over towards Hyun.

Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alex Foxen opened to 200,000 from middle position and was called by Jans Arends in the small blind.
Sung Joo Hyun then moved all in for around 2,100,000 out of the big blind, getting a quick fold from Foxen. Arends thought for a moment but did end up making the call with the covering stack to put Hyun at risk.
Sung Joo Hyun: A♠K♥
Jans Arends: 10♠10♥
It was a huge coinflip with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. The 5♠2♠8♦ flop kept Arends in the lead but the 8♠ turn gave both players the spade draw with Hyun holding the better end.
The 3♣ river ensured the pocket pair held up, sending Hyun to the rail in eighth place.
