Level 8 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Brian Rast opened to 50,000 under the gun and Nick Petrangelo shipped all in for 340,000 on his left. Justin Bonomo just called on the button and Adrian Mateos reshoved all in for 735,000 from the small blind. Rast ended up folding and Bonomo called the extra 395,000.

Nick Petrangelo: 8♠8♦
Adrian Mateos: A♣A♦
Justin Bonomo: J♥J♦

The flop came 8♣6♣2♦ and Petrangelo took the lead in the main pot with a set of eights. The 6♥ on the turn and the 2♥ on the river gave Petrangelo a triple-up, while Mateos collected the side pot from Bonomo.

Brian Rast moved all-in for his remaining 400,000 in chips after early and middle position calls from Phil Hellmuth and James Chen. Both would ultimately fold, giving Rast some much-needed chips.

Rast, Hellmuth and Chen would be involved in the next hand, as well, this time with the addition of Adrian Mateos. Mateos raised to 50,000 from early position and was called by Chen in middle position, Rast in late position and Hellmuth in the big blind.

Hellmuth check-folded to a bet of 65,000 from Mateos on a flop of 7♥10♥A♣, but both Chen and Rast called.

Mateos continued applying pressure on the 2♦ in the form of 285,000 and was again called by Chen. Rast folded.

The rolls reversed on the A♠ river, as it would be Chen betting 700,000, nearly enough to put Mateos all-in, after being checked to by Mateos. Mateos quickly folded.

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chris Brewer raised it up from the hijack and Seth Davies three-bet to 200,000 out of the big blind which Brewer called. The flop came K♠8♥2♣ and Davies continued with a bet of 100,000. Brewer called and the 3♣ landed on the turn.

Davies flicked in another bet of 200,000 on the turn and Brewer stuck around for the 5♦ on the river. Both players checked the river and Davies tabled 10♣8♣ for a pair of eights which was good enough to win the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised it up in early position and Alex Kulev three-bet to 180,000 on the button. Kabrhel four-bet to 1,105,000, leaving just 5,000 chips behind. Kulev announced all in and Kabrhel eventually called off his last chip.

Martin Kabrhel: K♠K♦
Alex Kulev: A♠Q♠

The flop fell A♥A♣10♠ and Kulev took a huge lead with three aces. The J♠ and 5♠ runout improved Kulev to a flush and Kabrhel was sent to the rail for now.

Adrian Mateos raised to 45,000 under the gun and was called by James Chen on his left and Phil Hellmuth in the small blind. Justin Bonomo reraised to 260,000 in the big blind and only Mateos called.

Martin Kabrhel raised to 45,000 from middle position and was called by Alex Foxen in late position. However, Ben Heath would squeeze to 180,000 from the button, forcing a fold from Foxen and a call from Kabrhel.

Heath would size down to 115,000 on his flop continuation bet after Kabrhel checked the A♠2♦K♠ flop. Kabrhel made the call and the dealer burned and turned the J♠.

Once again Kabrhel check-called a bet from Heath, this time for 260,000. The river brought the fourth spade in the form of the 2♠ and both players checked.

Kabrhel showed down A♦Q♦ for top pair aces, but Heath rolled over A♣J♣ for two pair, aces and jacks.

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kristen Foxen and Talal Shakerchi were heads-up in the blinds on a board reading 9♥7♣6♥3♦. Foxen led out with a bet of 140,000 on the turn into a pot of around 180,000. Shakerchi instantly called and the K♣ completed the board.

Foxen tossed in another bet of 325,000 on the river and Shakerchi was unwilling to give up his hand. Foxen turned over A♥5♣ for just ace-high while Shakerchi held 10♠6♠ for a pair of sixes.

Brian Rast opened to 45,000 in early position and was called by three players including Adrian Mateos in the big blind. The flop came A♥8♥6♣ and Rast continued with a bet of 80,000. Nick Petrangelo called on his left and Justin Bonomo folded on the button. Mateos check-raised all in for 805,000 and Rast called while Petrangelo got out of the way.

Adrian Mateos: 8♠6♥
Brian Rast: A♦J♦

Mateos flopped two pair and was in the lead for now against the two pair of Rast. The 3♦ on the turn and the 2♠ on the river changed nothing and Mateos held on for a double-up.
