Adam Hendrix: K♣J♣10♥10♠

The board ran out J♥9♥4♠8♥2♦ for Urumovic's queens to hold as he dragged the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The under-the-gun player limped in, as did the hijack, cutoff, button and small blind. Christoph Cannuli in the big blind checked his option.

Six players saw a flop of 5♦2♥A♣. The player in the small blind thinned the field with a bet of 70,000 as only Cannuli called.

The J♠ turn saw the small blind commit the rest of their stack to the middle and Cannuli called.

Small Blind: K♠Q♠2♣2♦
Christoph Cannuli: 10♥7♠4♥3♦

The river fell the 7♥. Cannuli lay claim to this pot and sent another opponent to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Scott Bohlman limped the small blind and Ky Nguyen checked his option.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♥7♠2♣ and Bohlman bet 12,000. Nguyen called.

The K♥ hit the turn and Bohlman fired again, this time for 40,000. Nguyen thought about it for a moment before announcing a raise to the maximum and Bohlman called off his stack of 166,000.

Scott Bohlman: Q♣J♥10♥6♥
Ky Nguyen: K♦3♠2♥2♦

Nguyen had flopped bottom set and was looking to dodge the open-ended straight draw and flush draw of Bohlman but the A♠ river completed his straight as he dragged the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Anderson Ireland raised to 30,000 in middle position and only David Wang made the call in the hijack.

When the Q♠10♣7♥ flop hit the felt, Ireland bet 40,000 and Wang dropped a stack of greens for a maximum raise of the pot. Ireland had 120,000 total and quickly called.

Anderson Ireland: K♣10♥9♠8♣
David Wang: A♠J♠9♣8♦

"All of the blockers," said a tablemate as both hands were on their backs.

The 10♠ turn and 4♦ river improved Ireland to trip tens, which meant he was able to keep his seat.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up preflop. Chip leader stanislav Halatenko had three-bet an open from Alan Reyf to 150,000 and Reyf had responded by moving all in for approximately 260,000. Halatenko asked for a count and made the call not long after to put his opponent at risk.

Alan Reyf: A♠Q♠Q♥2♠
Stanislav Halatenko: K♠Q♦10♦4♠

The board ran out 5♥J♦2♣10♥7♦. Reyf's pair of queens were still good at showdown resulting in him receiving a full double up through Halatenko.

Despite the minor setback Halatenko still holds a commanding lead over the rest of the field.
