Level 22 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Anton Morgenstern only had a few big blinds left after the dinner break, and they went in on the very first hand. He open-jammed for 375,000 from under the gun and Pakinai Lisawad rejammed from the hijack for 1,020,000.

Chip leader Tyler Smith was in the small blind and four-bet pot, putting the remaining player Adam Hendrix in the big blind also at risk if he would make the call. However, a four-way all-in was averted as Hendrix folded his hands after utilizing sever time bank extensions. Thus, the three other players showed down.

Anton Morgenstern: A♥A♣10♣8♠
Pakinai Lisawad: J♥10♦9♥8♦
Tyler Smith: K♥K♦4♣3♠

Morgenstern had the aces but immideately got outflopped by Smith on 9♣4♦3♥. The two pair of Smith remained strong on the 6♠ turn, but the 10♠ river brought Lisawad a higher two pair.

Lisawad ended up taking the entire pot down and more than doubled up. Meanwhile, Morgenstern was eliminated as the last player before the final two table redraw.

Level 22 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 360,000 from early position as action folded around to Pakinai Lisawad in the small blind, who potted to 1,200,000.

Haxton looked back at the other table to see if there was a big pot in progress and tanked for more than a minute before he repotted. Lisawad practically beat him into the pot and called all in.

Pakinai Lisawad: A♠A♣Q♠8♥
Isaac Haxton: A♥K♠K♥4♠

Haxton had run into a massive cooler with nearly 8,000,000 in the middle but spiked a set on the 2♣5♥K♣ flop, leaving Lisawad drawing to the last ace in the deck.

Instead, the turn came the 7♠ and the K♦ river improved Haxton to quads. The stacks were counted down and Lisawad had 3,540,000 remaining. Haxton barely had him covered as Lisawad was sent to the rail.

Level 22 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Adam Hendrix raised to 420,000 from the cutoff and button Jesse Lonis announced a minimum raise to 720,000. Only Hendrix made the call, leaving himself just shy of 200,000 chips back.

The flop was dealt 4♥7♥9♣ and the rest of Hendrix's stack went in the middle.

Adam Hendrix: K♦Q♥J♥3♦
Jesse Lonis: A♣Q♣5♠2♠

Neither player had something as of yet, but Hendrix had a flush draw, which came in on the K♥ turn. The 6♦ river was useless as Lonis had no outs left to hit, and Hendrix raked in a double-up in this volatile stage of the tournament.

Jesse Lonis	3,525,000 825,000	825,000

Action folded around to Matthew Wantman in the small blind who raised to 365,000. James Park in the big blind then moved all in for 1,260,000 and Wantman called.

James Park: K♣K♠5♥2♠
Matthew Wantman: J♥7♣7♠6♦

The board ran out 3♠10♦5♠10♠K♦ and Park made a full house on the river to earn the double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jared Bleznick and Tyler Smith were heads-up on a flop of K♥J♣5♣ when Bleznick, in the big blind, moved all in for around 1,600,000. Smith instantly splashed in the chips to call and put Bleznick at risk.

Jared Bleznick: Q♥J♦J♥5♠
Tyler Smith: A♥K♠K♦8♦

Bleznick had run into a set-over-set cooler but did pick up a straight draw on the 10♦ turn. The river, though, came the 6♠ and Bleznick was sent to the payout desk in 15th place.
