Ognyan Dimov: A♣K♣

The 10♦9♣3♥ flop left Dimov with only backdoor possibilities. The Q♦ turn brought in Dimov's outs to Broadway but the 7♦ river confirmed Suvarna's double-up.

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Tyler Stafman and Eli Berg got all-in preflop, with Berg being the shorter stack and at risk.

Eli Berg: 6♦6♠ All in
Tyler Stafman: A♥10♥

The board ran out 6♣3♦8♦Q♦7♠, and Berg doubled up with a set of sixes.

In the very next hand, after it folded to Chongxian Yang in the small blind, he raised all in for Stafman's remaining 600,000 chips. After looking at his cards, Stafman snap-called.

Tyler Stafman: A♣10♦ All in
Chongxian Yang: K♣5♣

This time, the runout was great for Stafman, as it came 6♣6♦Q♥3♣A♥, and he had doubled back up. He remained in the tournament with fourteen players remaining.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chongxian Yang	3,600,000 700,000	700,000

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pieter Aerts opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and Brek Schutten defended his big blind.

On the J♦10♥8♠ flop, Schutten checked-jammed as the bigger stack after Aerts continued for 70,000. The Belgian had a few T-100,000 chips behind, along with some smaller denominations, and he put them into the middle.

Pieter Aerts: K♠J♣ All in
Brek Schutten: Q♠8♥

Aerts had top pair, while Schutten had bottom pair and a gutshot, which was completed on the 9♠ turn. Aerts needed to hit a king but the 2♦ river confirmed his exit instead.
