Jolan Mancini raised to 360,000 from late position and was called by Branden Shimamoto from the big blind.
The two players went to a flop of A♣10♠9♣ and Mancini went all in for 1,700,000. Shimamoto tanked before making the fold. Mancini showed the A♥ and requested that the hand be reported with referring to him as "Fish-Mancini".
Kuan-Yu Lin raised to 1,300,000 from late position, leaving 400,000 behind. When action folded to Harrison Ashdown in the small blind he pushed forward a stack of blue 100,000 chips to put Lin all in. Lin made the call and the two players went to the flop.
Kuan-Yu Lin: A♠8♠
Harrison Ashdown: A♦9♣
The board ran out 7♥6♣9♥8♦3♥ and Lin was eliminated.
Tomer Balan was all in from early position for 2,475,000 against Eric Holtz out of the big blind.
Tomer Balan: K♥K♦
Eric Holtz: 10♥10♠
The flop 7♠5♠2♥ didn't help Holtz, and the river K♣ saw Balan improve to a set which held on the 2♠ river.
Martin Ward moved all in for 1,240,000 and was called by Diogo Cardoso.
Martin Ward: 6♥6♣
Diogo Cardoso: J♦J♠
"Sometimes you've got to hit your six," said Ward as the cards were turned over.
"I see it," said someone at the table as the dealer dealt the Q♦6♠4♠ flop. The turn 4♣ and river 8♠ bricked and Ward doubled up.
"That's the first time I've hit a set this entire tournament," he said.
From late position, Luke Varrasso shoved all in for around 1,500,000. Kotaro Arakawa was in the big blind and had about 1,200,000 total, or a little over seven big blinds in the new level.
Arakawa ultimately decided to go for it with a raggedy holding.
Kotaro Arakawa: Q♦5♠
Luke Varrasso: A♥J♠
The Q♣4♦3♦ flop brought the queen Arakawa needed, and the 7♦ turn was safe as well, slashing one of Varrasso's three remaining outs.
Unfortunately for Arakawa, the A♠ on the river was one of the other outs remaining to send the Japanese packing in 33rd.
Yun Choi opened and called a shove from Tonia Kleeschulte in the big blind for 380,000.
Tonia Kleeschulte: 9♦6♠
Yun Choi: K♣Q♥
The 2♠2♣Q♣ flop gave Choi top pair and Kleeschulte was drawing dead after the 4♦ turn. The river was the 9♣ which was too little too late and she was eliminated.
Level: 30
Blinds: 80,000/160,000
Ante: 160,000
Yaniv Peretz raised to 240,000 from under the gun. Kuan-Yu Lin three-bet to 700,000 from late position and action folded back to Peretz who counted out his stack and eventually made the call.
The flop came out 6♣10♦3♣ and Peretz checked to Lin who bet 375,000. Peretz made the call and both players checked the Q♠ turn. When the 4♣ came on the river Peretz lead out for 1,650,000. Lin went into the tank before finally announcing call and Peretz then announced "nuts" and turned over A♣J♣. Lin mucked his hand and continued counting out the call.
