Level 31
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Hersh Mahajan opened in the cutoff and David Valone defended the big blind.
When the K♠Q♣6♦ flop hit the felt, Valone check-called a bet of 300,000.
Both players checked the 4♦ turn to see the 6♣ on the river and Valone cut out a bet of 800,000. Mahajan thought about it for about 10 seconds and decided to toss his cards into the muck.

Benjamin Hu jammed 1,225,000 under the gun and Tolga Gesli moved all-in as well from the cutoff. Paul Serrate was in the small blind and went into the tank while looking at the clock. After about 45 seconds he called off his stack of 2,575,000 and all three hands were tabled.
Benjamin Hu: 6♦6♠ 
Paul Serrate: K♣K♦
Tolga Gesli: Q♥J♥
Serrate was in great shape to score a double up and knockout Hu but the J♦9♠8♥7♣5♥ run out gave Hu a straight to stay alive and Serrate took down the side pot.

After blinding down for a while, Jennifer "Jenn N' Tonic" Sabuel went all in from the button for 1,025,000 and was called by Ben Collins in the big blind.
Jennifer Sabuel: K♦Q♦
Ben Collins: K♠5♠
The board ran out true, 7♠A♦10♣2♥Q♣ for Sabuel and she was thrilled to have a breath of life.
Collins still has a healthy stack and is well in contention with over six million in his stack.
Marcos Albano, Dennis Carlson, Ryan Jones, and Brian Pinkus, were all seen heading to the payouts desk.

Level 30
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
A player in the cutoff raised to 400,000 and Vladas Tamasauskas made the call in the small blind.
The dealer fanned a 5♠A♥4♥ flop, this was an action flop as both players put all their chips in the middle.
Vladas Tamasauskas: Q♥3♥
Cutoff: 7♥5♥
The K♥ turn card quickly ended the drama, and the meaningless 3♠ fell on the river. Vladas Tamasauskas welcomed the newly aquired chips to his stack.

Tolga Gesli opened 475,000 and Brian Pinkus jammed 1,450,000 from the cutoff before Dennis Carlson announced all-in from the small blind. Gesli asked for a count, and after the dealer let him know it was 5,775,000 he made the call.
Brian Pinkus: 8♣8♥
Dennis Carlson: A♥K♣
Tolga Gesli: Q♥Q♣
The J♠J♦2♣4♦Q♦ run out gave Gesli a full house to knock both Pinkus and Carlson out of the tournament.

Marcos Albano went all in and was isolated by the commanding stack of Paul Serrate.
Marcos Albano: Q♦J♦
Paul Serrate: A♥K♣
The flop was quite the sweat for Alabano as it fanned out 10♠10♣9♠. The turn didn't change anything with the 3♣ but when the J♥ rolled off the deck, Alabano was on his feet and celebrating.
Serrate lamented Albano's hand choice but gave him the nod that it was suited.

Gavin Tamashiro opened 400,000 in early position and Shane Hall jammed for about 1,500,000 from the small blind. Tamashiro called.
Shane Hall: 10♠10♥
Gavin Tamashiro: A♦K♣
It was a classic race until the A♣8♣6♥ flop hit the felt. The 9♥ turn gave Hall a straight draw but the J♣ river was no help.
