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

Alexander Cole-Gardner declared all in preflop, and was called by Thomas Blanton, whom he covered.

Thomas Blanton: Q♣Q♦
Alexander Cole-Gardner: J♠J♥

Blanton was a big favorite but a 2♥4♣J♣ flop soon reversed that — and a 3♣ followed by a 5♦ turn and river ended his tournament.

Level 39 : 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Istvan Briski moved all in from early position for 13,700,000 and was called by Richard Tuhrim in the big blind who covered the Hungarian by 300,000 chips.

Istvan Briski: A♦4♦
Richard Tuhrim: Q♦J♦

No one connected to the board of 9♦8♥6♠7♣K♣ and Briski's ace-high was good enough to double up and to leave Tuhrim with a fifth of a big blind.

The very next hand Tuhrim managed to get back up to 2,800,000 after being forced all in on the small blind. His K♦7♦ beat Alexander Cole-Gardner's J♦J♣ after the board ran 9♠8♦2♣5♥6♦ for a straight to increase their stack sevenfold.

Alexander Cole-Gardner	32,100,000 4,600,000	4,600,000

Daniels walked into the aces of Scarborough. Daniels couldn't improve after the 4♣8♦ finished the board and Scarborough become the commanding chip leader of the event.

Chris Bean

Level 40 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Julien Montois bet 4,000,000 from the cutoff and Shawn Daniels moved all in from the small blind for 21,700,000. The Frenchman Montois made the call.

Shawn Daniels: K♣Q♥
Julien Montois: A♠Q♣

Daniels was in trouble as Montois had a dominating hand. Both players made top pair on the Q♦10♣3♥ flop. The 10♥ gave both players two pair, but the K♥ on the river improved Daniels to kings and queens to give Daniels a vital double up and deliver a devastating blow to Montois's stack
