Tyler Foran

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Tzur Levy opened 200,000 in early position and the action folded around to Justin Belforti in the big blind. After eying up Levy's stack for a few moments, he announced all-in. Levy took about 45 seconds before dropping a chip across the line to call off his stack of about 3,500,000.

Tzur Levy: A♦K♥ All in
Justin Belforti: A♥Q♦

Levy was in great shape until the Q♠9♥6♠ flop hit the felt, giving Belforti a pair of queens. The 5♥ turn and J♥ river were no help for Levy as he headed to the payout desk.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kunal Patni opened to 200,000 off a short stack and Ravi Shankar three-bet to 400,000. When the action got back to Patni, he made the call for a few extra chips.

Kunal Patni: J♥6♥ All in
Ravi Shankar: 8♥8♠

It looked bleak for Patni and the 10♠7♥4♣ flop didn't offer much help. What did give Patni hope was the J♦ turn as he hit top pair, which also improved Shankar to a straight draw.

"Nine," said Shankar.

Ask and you shall receive as the 9♦ fell on the river, which completed Shankar's straight and eliminated Patni.

Kyle Julius opened 200,000 under the gun and Vanessa Kade jammed 2,395,000 on the button. Jiang Pu was in the small blind and pondered his decision for about a minute before calling off his 1,960,000, and Julius snap mucked.

Vanessa Kade: 10♣10♦

Kade ran into a bigger pair and couldn't find a ten as the dealer ran out the 7♦5♦2♠7♣K♣ board.

Victor Paredes: A♦5♥ All in
Justin Belforti: J♥10♦

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jong Kim raised the hijack to 225,000 and Noel Rodriguez called from the big blind.

Rodriguez led out for 175,000 on the 7♥6♥9♠ flop, and Kim called.

On the A♥ turn, Rodriguez checked, Kim bet 375,000, Rodriguez then check-raised to 1,150,000, and Kim called.

The 10♦ fell on the river and Rodriguez shoved all in. Kim had around 2,300,000 chips behind and after some thought, he made the call.

Rodriguez showed 8♥6♦ for a straight, and Kim flipped over A♦K♥ for a pair of aces which meant he was eliminated.
