A full board of K♦A♣Q♦5♥J♥ was on the table with over 1,500,000 chips in the middle. Jason Corbett had checked the river and Fahredin Mustafov fired a bet of 675,000. Corbett contemplated for a while before he flashed the A♠ and folded.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Christopher Collier opened to 805,000 from under the gun, and he was called by Evan Benton on the button. Nicolas Vayssieres in the small blind went into the tank, but he eventually folded, and so did Nick Maimone in the big blind.

Christopher Collier: K♣K♥ All in
Evan Benton: 8♠8♥

Benton flopped a full house on Q♥Q♠8♦ to crack Collier's kings. The A♣ turn and the 10♦ river didn't bring the king Collier needed and he was eliminated in 13th place for $24,094.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Mukul Pahuja opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Ruiko Mamiya called from the big blind.

Both checked the 9♦10♠5♥ flop to see an 8♦ fall on the turn. Mamiya checked, Pahuja bet 680,000, Mamiya shoved for around 2,700,000, and Pahuja called.

Ruiko Mamiya: A♦7♦ All in
Mukul Pahuja: 8♠8♣

Mamiya had both straight and flush draws but never managed to hit any of them on the K♥ river which ended her run in the tournament.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On a flop of 2♦6♣Q♦, Evan Benton under the gun bet 335,000 and he was called by Guofeng Wang in the big blind.

Both of them checked the Q♥ turn to find the 2♥ river, where Wang led out for 650,000.

Benton eventually made the call, but his cards went into the muck when Wang turned over 7♠6♥ for two pair.

Nicolas Vayssieres raised to 420,000 from under the gun, but George Tomescu in the cutoff three-bet to 3,500,000.

All the other players folded to Vayssieres, who called after a minute of reflexion.

Nicolas Vayssieres: A♠Q♠ All in
George Tomescu: A♣Q♥

Both players had the same hand, so they split the pot on 4♦4♣10♥4♥A♥.

Haiyang Yang: A♦6♥ All in
Mukul Pahuja: A♠Q♣

Yang can thank the poker gods for his survival as he made two pair on the J♥A♥6♠4♣10♥ runout.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jason Corbett shoved all in for 1,275,000 and Haiyang Yang made the call.

Jason Corbett: 4♠4♣ All in
Haiyang Yang: A♣3♣

"Please hold!" said Corbett.

That hold didn't look likely as Yang paired his ace on the A♠2♠K♥ flop.

A 5♥ turn meant Corbett could no longer hit a four, but he didn't seem to realize that as the 4♦ fell on the river which made him celebrate. It took around 20 seconds for Corbett to finally see that Yang had hit a straight, then he vacated the tournament area.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Nick Maimone opened to 400,000 from under the gun, then Guofeng Wang on the button decided to go all in with the biggest stack of the table. Evan Benton shoved as well for approximately 750,000, and Maimone snap-called.

Evan Benton: A♣Q♣ All in
Nick Maimone: K♠K♦ All in
Guofeng Wang: K♥J♠

Maimone was on his way to take a massive pot, but after the 6♦7♥4♠ flop, Benton hit the A♦ turn to triple up after the 9♥ river. Maimone still won the side pot.

Guofeng Wang	7,100,000 2,700,000	2,700,000
