Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Ben Tollerene raised to 500,000 from middle position and Adrian Mateos called in the cutoff.

The 2♠7♣K♣ flop saw Tollerene continue for 350,000. Mateos didn't back down.

Tollerene bet another 750,000 on the 9♥ turn. Mateos raised to 2,500,000 and Tollerene made the call.

The 3♣ river saw Tollerene play in flow. Mateos thought for some time before placing a bet of 5,075,000; an effective all-in with just 25,000 left behind the line. Tollerene confirmed the count before pitching his cards into the muck.

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Seth Gottlieb moved all in for 925,000 from the cutoff before Chris Hunichen rejammed for 1,975,000 from the button. Jonathan Jaffe folded in the small blind to put the action on Taylor von Kriegenbergh. He thought over his options before flicking in calling chips.

Seth Gottlieb: A♦7♠ All in
Chris Hunichen: A♠10♥ All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♥3♥

The 3♣ was in the window but followed by the 10♠8♦ to keep Hunichen ahead. Gottlieb was in rough shape and was eliminated after the K♥ turn and J♦ river. Hunichen took both the main and side pot for a big boost to his stack.

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 400,000 from early position, receiving a call from Ben Tollerene, in the big blind.

The 6♠9♠9♦ flop checked through to the J♦ on the turn. Tollerene checked again and Materos bet out 650,000. Tollerene check-raised to 1,900,000 and Mateos called.

The 9♣ fell on the river and both players took a considerable amount of time, considering all their options, before checking to a showdown.

Tollerene tabled Q♣10♣ for a missed straight draw, while Mateos held K♠7♠ for a missed flush draw. However, Mateos' king-high was good at showdown and he scooped this big pot.

Jonathan Jaffe opened to 400,000 and Seth Gottlieb three-bet to 4,750,000 to put Jaffe all in. Jaffe called.

Jonathan Jaffe: A♦Q♦ All in
Seth Gottlieb: A♥7♥

The flop of 4♠9♣6♦ didn't change much, but the 7♦ turn gave Gottlieb the lead while giving Jaffe a flush draw. The 8♦ river then gave Jaffe the flush for an emphatic double as Gottlieb was left as the short stack.

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Brian Kim opened to 450,000 from the hijack before Jared Bleznick moved all in for 1,600,000 from the small blind.

As Kim thought over his options, Bleznick said:

"Best hand I've seen in three hours."

Kim puffed out his cheeks and put in calling chips for the cards to go on their backs.

Jared Bleznick: A♠10♦ All in
Brian Kim: A♦9♠

Bleznick had Kim pipped but there was the chance of a chop after the J♦4♣4♦ flop but Bleznick locked up the hand after pairing up on the 10♣ turn. The J♠ river completed the board and Bleznick took in the pot.

Matthias Eibinger: J♠J♣ All in
Sean Winter: A♣K♣

Eibinger stayed in front on the flop of 10♥2♣6♠, but the 8♣ turn kept things interesting as Winter picked up a flush draw. The J♦ river only improved Eibinger's hand as he received a late night double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 400,000 from under the gun, Chris Hunichen called in middle position, as did Santhosh Suvarna, in the big blind.

The 9♥8♥5♠ flop saw Suvarna elect to lead, betting out for 575,000, Badziakouski folded and Hunichen raised to 1,900,000. Suvarna called.

The J♦ turn saw Suvarna play out of flow again, jamming for his last 4,875,000. Hunichen snap-called.

Santhosh Suvarna: 10♦7♣ All in
Chris Hunichen: 9♠9♦

Hunichen had flopped a set, but was behind the turned straight of Suvarna. The K♣ river failed to pair the board and this huge pot was shipped to Suvarna, leaving Hunichen short.

Santhosh Suvarna	15,000,000 7,600,000	7,600,000
