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

David Icke and his wife again clapped their hands in unison as Icke moved all in for 500,000 from under the gun. Richard Wallace called in the cutoff to put him at risk.

David Icke: A♣7♣
Richard Wallace: A♠6♣

"Put a seven out there," Icke asked, and he got his wish on the 3♥K♦3♠7♦5♦ board to double up.

There was some controversy at this table coming back from break where the players couldn't agree where the button should be. Robert Whalen believed he was the button, but Wallace argued he was.

The floor had to be called and play delayed for several minutes as a heated discussion took place. It was eventually ruled the button should be in front of Wallace.

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

Rassoul Malboubi raised to 300,000 in the hijack before Elizabeth Bennett-Martin, from the cutoff, moved all in for 1,460,000. Malboubi threw in a chip to signify a call even before the blinds had a chance to get out of the way.

Elizabeth Bennett-Martin: A♦K♥
Rassoul Malboubi: 7♠7♣

Bennett-Martin's rowdy rail began chanting for an ace as the flop came A♠K♣J♥, giving her top two pair.

The board ran out 8♦4♥ and Malboubi, unlike a previous hand earlier in the day, couldn't find a seven and handed over a double up.

"Lucky Lizzie," Bennett-Martin's rail shouted out as she sat back in her chair.

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

Kevin Durgin and Jimmie James went to the turn blind versus blind on a board of Q♥8♥2♦J♣ when Durgin led out for 200,000.

James called to the 5♥ river and Durgin checked this time. James now fired out 400,000 and Durgin tanked for about a minute before he called.

James turned over J♦5♣ for two pair on the river and Durgin let out a frustrated sigh as he showed Q♦10♠ before mucking.

"If I fall asleep will you punch me every now and then?" James asked Durgin shortly afterward.

"I was going to punch you after that river," Durgin joked.

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

Kevin Parmley bet 330,000 from the cutoff and was called by James Martini on the button.

The flop of 8♦4♦2♥ was enough for Parmley to commit to a shove for 1,250,000, which was called by Martini.

Kevin Parmley: 9♣8♥
James Martini: 5♣5♥

Parmley's unorthodox play worked out as he spiked top pair. The 3♦3♥ completed the board and Parmley got a much needed double up.

Perrot mucked A♠4♣ as Davoudzadeh added to his chip lead.

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

Matthew Shihadeh open-jammed from under the gun for 980,000 and action folded to Jinhua Li in the big blind who took over a minute to make the under-call for 745,000.

Jinhua Li: K♠K♦
Matthew Shihadeh: A♠Q♣

Shihadeh was puzzled why it took so long for Li to make the call. Li hit a king in the window of the K♥Q♠2♦10♦A♥ board for a set and took the pot leaving Shihadeh with four big blinds.

The very next hand Ronald Swain raised to 225,000 from middle position and Li made the call in the small blind. Shihadeh moved all in for 235,000. The other two committed players threw in the extra 10,000.

Li and Swain checked down to the river on the board of 9♥7♠2♥10♦Q♠. Li tabled Q♦10♠ to take down the pot after Swain revealed they had A♠Q♥. Shihadeh headed to the exit shellshocked for $14,922.
