Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ren Lin has spent the last few levels folding emphatically and announcing "fold to the final table" every time.
As a result, Lin got down to just 45,000 before he started scoping out the other stacks in the room.
"Anyone shorter than me?" Lin said as he waved his chips around. "Anyone shorter than one big blind?"
"I don't know how Ren is still in this tournament," Alex Foxen said.
Finally, Lin found a hand good enough to go with as action folded to him in late position. After fumbling around in his backpack, he pulled out a "No Gamble No Future" sticker and stuck in front of him in lieu of an all-in button.
"All in! Let's go!" Lin cheered as action folded around to Vlastimil Pustina in the small blind.
"You look or no look? Oh, you're small blind," said Lin.
Pustina raised and Lin was ready to go. "Come on baby! One time! You double me up, we go to strip club! "Deuce? Strip club."
Ren Lin: A♣2♣ 
Vlastimil Pustina: A♥Q♦
The flop of Q♠3♠J♦ paired both player's kickers, but the Q♣ turn had Lin crying "ay ya ya ya ya ya" before the J♠ river.
"No more strip club," he said. "No bluff, no future."

When it folded around to Ethan Yau on the button he decided now was the time to commit his last 420,000 into the middle.
Paul Jager was in the small blind and went deep into the tank, using possibly his first time extension of the event. As he slid his time extension to the dealer, Michael Rocco put in calling chips and turned over pocket jacks, mistakingly thinking Jager had folded. After the floor was called over, it was settled that Rocco's call would stand with the action back on Jager. It didn't take long for Jager to fold his hand, and the cards were revealed.
Ethan Yau: A♠6♥
Michael Rocco : J♠J♥
Yau flopped a six on the 6♣2♣7♥ flop, but didn't improve any further as the 5♥ turn, and 3♦ river cemented his elimination from the event.
After the hand Rocco commented to Jager "you never use time extensions". Rocco was then issued a one-hand penalty by the floor staff.

In a three-bet pot, Chongxian Yang put out a 200,000 continuation bet on a Q♣J♦9♣ flop and Stoyan Madanzhiev raised to 425,000. Yang re-raised all in putting Madanzhiev to the test.
Madanzhiev called for his last 1,485,000.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♣J♣
Chongxian Yang: K♠Q♥
Madanzhiev was behind but had both straight and flush draws, and he improved to a flush on the 6♣ turn before the A♠ came on the river.

Chris Brewer: A♦10♦
Brandon Wilson: A♥Q♦
Brewer was drawing dead and the river was the J♣.
"I thought I had you when you sighed," said Brewer.
"I'll tell you later on," replied Wilson.

: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Vlastimil Pustina opened under the gun and Kevin Rabichow defended from the big blind.
Rabichow chose to check the 8♦A♥5♥ flop. Pustina fired a continuation-bet of 30,000 only to be met by a check-raise to 140,000 from Rabichow. After some thought, Pustina made the call.
The Q♥ turn saw Rabichow put out a bet of 160,000. This prompted a quick fold from Pustina

Alex Foxen opened to 60,000 from the hijack and was called by Eli Berg from the cutoff before Michael Jozoff made it 260,000 from the button. Scott Eskenazi was next to act and jammed for 575,000. Action was on Foxen and he let his hand go. Berg did the same. Jozoff checked his hand one more time and called.
Scott Eskenazi: A♦Q♣
Michael Jozoff: K♠K♣
No ace arrived on the 10♠8♣7♥6♥7♠ runout and Eske became the first casualty after the break.
