Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The action folded to the button who opened for 225,000 and Joseph Sheppard moved all in for 470,000 from the big blind, which the button called.

Joseph Sheppard: Q♦10♦
Opponent: A♣4♣

Sheppard was slightly behind preflop, but when the board ran out 9♣4♠2♦Q♠K♣, it was the turned queen that saved the day for Sheppard to score a full double up.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded to Mikhail Zavoloka in late position who went all in for 645,000. The next player to act rejammed and everyone else folded. The cards hit their back.

Mikhail Zavoloka: 10♥8♥
Opponent: A♥K♦

The 8♦6♦4♠ flop and sent Zavoloka into the lead. The 3♠ turn and 5♦ river locked up a much needed double as we get into crucial levels of the tournament.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The action folded around to Rodrigo Gurgel on the button who moved all in for 555,000 and the player in the small blind made the call with a slightly bigger stack.

Rodrigo Gurgel: K♥7♣
Opponent: J♣J♥

Gurgel was in need of help, and when the board ran out A♦Q♥4♥Q♣K♦, it was the miracle king on the river that saved Gurgel to score a full double up.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

The action was picked up in a pot of almost 2,000,000 on a board showing A♦9♥2♥3♥. A player in the big blind checked to Matthew Elsby in the cutoff who bet out 1,500,000. The big blind made the call and the pair saw the 6♦ river.

Again the big blind tapped the table for a check and Elsby moved all in, covering the roughly 1,400,000 behind for the big blind, who went deep in the tank.

After close to two minutes of thought, the big blind made the call and the cards were shown. Elsby tabled Q♥J♥ for the turned flush and his opponent opened 9♠9♣ for a flopped set as he made his way to the exit.
