Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

After an open from Joe Cada to 2,400,000, Jonathan McCann raised to 16,000,000, which left him 1,000,000 behind.

Jonathan McCann: A♥Q♦
Joe Cada: A♦K♥

The run out of A♠4♣ awarded Cada the pot with his superior ace and and McCann was eliminated in 12th place.

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Joshua Adcock wasn’t in the mood for Julien Loire raising his big blind on the first hand after the dinner break.

After Loire made it 2,500,000 to go, Adcock three-bet all in for his remaining 22,000,000, which Loire called to put Adcock at risk.

Joshua Adcock: A♣5♠
Julien Loire: A♦9♦

“We need a five,” Adcock turned and said to his supporters on the rail.

The dealer fanned A♠6♣2♦ on the flop, keeping Loire ahead. The 3♥ on the turn kept hope alive for Adcock with a gut-shot straight draw, but then 5♥ arrived on the river to seal it for Adcock, who doubled up and let out his excitement.

“Hop-Town!” Adcock screamed in reference to his hometown, Hopkinsville, Kentucky. “Let’s go! It’s my time!”

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

After moving all in the previous hand and getting no takers, Arash Ghaneian decided to give it another go and moved all in. This time Xuming Qi made the call and the cards were tabled, with Qi covering.

Arash Ghaneian: A♠2♣
Xuming Qi: 9♠9♥

"What am I supposed to do, I have twelve bigs!" He shouted to his rail, "It's ok, I run good in these spots!"

The flop of 4♥2♦3♠ gave Ghaneian some outs as he could now hit any ace, deuce, or five, but the runout of 8♠10♣ did not do it for him and he was eliminated in 14th place.
