Ollie Garland

Level 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Joel Vanetten raised to 10,000,000 from early position, Nicholas Richards three-bet jammed for 20,500,000 from middle position and Vanetten made the call.

Nicholas Richards: 5♠5♣ All in
Joel Vanetten: Q♦J♦

Vanetten hit the perfect flop as it came 8♦J♠7♦ giving him top pair and a flush draw.

The 9♠ turn changed nothing., while the 5♦ river had Richards momentarily thinking he'd hit one of his few outs, only to realise it had given Vanetten a flush, ending his deep run in ninth place.

Level 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Trevor Brown open-shoved for 31,200,000 and Martin Alcaide called behind to put him at risk while the rest of the table got out of the way.

Trevor Brown: 7♦4♦ All in
Martin Alcaide: A♥J♦

Brown would need some help to keep his tournament life alive, but it was not to be as the runout of J♠K♥6♦6♣8♥ only improved Alcaide to two pair and Brown was sent out in eighth place.

Level 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Caleb Powell moved all in for approximately 4,900,000 from the button. Ricky Andino practically beat him into the pot, snap calling from the small blind. The big folded and the hand went to a showdown.

Caleb Powell: A♣7♦ All in
Ricky Andino: J♠8♠

The table seemed surprised at the speed of Andino's call, but his plan soon came together on the Q♣J♦5♣ flop. The 6♣ turn and 8♦ river couldn't save Powell and he was sent to the rail.

Level 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, Joel Vanetten moved all in and was snap-called by Bohdan Slyvinskyi, putting himself at risk.

Bohdan Slyvinskyi: Q♣Q♠ All in
Joel Vanetten: A♠K♦

Slyvinskyi was in the lead going into this classic of classic flips, but an ace appeared right in the window of the A♣7♠2♦ flop to put him in second place. The runout of 3♣2♠ changed nothing and he was eliminated in sixth place for a handsome six-figure payout of $111,740.

Level 45 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Ricky Andino limped in from the cutoff, Brooks Floyd completed in the small blind and Joel Vanetten checked his option in the big blind.

The action checked to Vanetten, who bet out 7,000,000 on the A♠2♣8♣ flop. Andino called and Floyd tanked for some time before check-raising to 25,000,000. Vanetten and Andino both quickly folded; Andino mucked his A♦ face up as he did so.

Level 45 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Yujian Eugen Zhou moved all in preflop for 50,100,000, and Ricky Andino quickly called, but then Brooks Floyd shoved over the top for 120,000,000.

"I fold," Andino sighed as he tossed in his cards, and the other two players tabled their hands.

Yujian Eugen Zhou: J♦10♠ All in
Brooks Floyd: A♠K♥

Zhou would need some help to stay alive, and he sure got it on the 9♣J♠6♥J♣5♣ as he made trip jacks to score the big triple-up.
