Michael Berk opened to 270,000 from the small blind and Carlos Henrique Da Silva defended his big blind.
Berk check-called for 350,000 on the Q♥10♦9♥ flop. The 9♦ turn then checked through to the J♣ river. Berk led out for 1,300,000, leaving just 40,000 behind, Da Silva went into the tank before eventually folding.
Cong Pham moved all in for 1,735,000 from under the gun and Pierpaola Lamanna had him at risk from the big blind.
Cong Pham: A♦K♠
Pierpaola Lamanna: A♠Q♣
The board ran out 5♣5♠3♠3♣, giving both players two pair with an ace-kicker. The river, though, came the K♥ and Pham made kings and fives to earn a double up.
Level: 28
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
Heads-up on a flop of 10♠5♠A♦, Jonathan Therme bet 400,000 with A♥9♥ and Raj Vohra raised to 1,175,000 holding 3♣3♠.
Therme called with his pair of nines and both players checked the 8♣ turn. The river came the 4♠ and Vohra then led out for 1,850,000.
Therme spent several minutes in the tank. "Ace-six of spades," he asked Vohra before eventually sliding his cards into the muck.
The remaining 92 players are now on another 20-minute break. The action will resume shortly. Here is a list of highlights from the last level of play:
Toby Lewis raised to 200,000 in early position and Mark Teltscher three-bet to 700,000 from a couple of seats over. Joe Ghio was next to act and thought for over a minute before shoving all in for 3,185,000. The action folded back to Teltscher who asked for a count before making the call.
Joe Ghio: Q♠Q♥
Mark Teltscher: A♣K♣
The board ran out 9♠9♣2♦Q♦5♥ for Ghio to make a full house and secure a double-up.
Picking up the action at the end of the hand, Artem Metalidi had just called off his stack on a board reading Q♦6♥7♣5♠4♣ against Joshua Payne. His call was no good, as Payne held A♥A♠ to send his opponent to the rail and send his own chip count soaring up the leaderboard.
Elsewhere, Alejandro Perez also was seen heading to the exits.
Sachin Joshi opened to 220,000 from under the gun before Andrew Dea made it 650,000. Mark Teltscher asked Dea how much he had behind and after it was confirmed, the Brit opted to fold.
Action folded back to Joshi, who decided to give his opponent some respect and open-folded his A♦10♦.
"Pretty hand," said Joshi as he tossed his cards in the muck.
As the hand was playing out, Dea asked Estelle Cohuet if she was the last woman standing. Joshi pointed out Nikita Luther was also still in. However, as he finished his sentence, the elimination of Luther was confirmed over the loudspeaker.
The table congratulated Cohuet on being the final remaining woman in the Main Event. However, she noted that she didn't just want to be the last woman standing, but the last player standing.
Cohuet is a force to be reckoned with as she was one of the winners in Winamax's Top Shark event.
