Nick Becker

Level 39 : Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Robin Guillaumot moved all in from the cutoff for about 5,500,000 and Jerry Maher reshoved from the small blind to isolate. Pedro Neves folded in the big blind.

Robin Guillaumot: A♥9♥ All in
Jerry Maher: 9♣9♦

The flop came 3♥3♦2♠, offering little help to Guillaumot. The 5♥ turn gave him some hope, gaining additional outs for a straight or flush. The K♠ was a blank, eliminating Guillaumot from the tournament.

"What a turn card," mentioned Maher, as he dragged in the pot.

Level 39 : Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Pedro Neves opened to 3,000,000 from the hijack, and Alex Abariotes shoved for 8,500,000 on the button. Fausto Valdez made the call out of the big blind, and Neves shoved all in behind. Valdez quickly called.

Alex Abariotes: 6♣6♥ All in
Fausto Valdez: A♥A♦ All in
Pedro Neves: Q♣Q♦

Valdez was in a great spot to almost triple-up but the flop of 7♦3♥Q♠ dampened his plans as Neves improved to top set. Abariotes needed running cards to survive and was half way there when the 5♣ hit the turn as any four would complete his straight. However, the 9♦ river was a brick which meant both Abariotes and Valdez were eliminated.
