Level 26 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Yang Wang in the big blind was involved in a hand with Brian Rast in the cutoff.

With the board reading 10♠6♥2♦7♥ Wang checked. Rast bet 1,150,000 only to see Wang come back over the top for 4,400,000. Since Wang had only announced a pot sized raise, Rast asked for an exact count. Once the amount of the raise was confirmed, Rast mucked his hand to take another hit to his stack. Wang, meanwhile, has appeared unable to do anything wrong over the last couple of levels as he adds more to his tournament chipleading stack.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eric Garma limped in and Yang Wang then raised the pot to 540,000 in the cutoff for Garma to call.

The duo headed to the A♦10♥9♠ flop on which Garma checked. Wang asked for the size of the pot and took another 20 seconds before he bet as much for 1,380,000. Garma then check-raised the pot to be all-in and Wang snap-called.

Eric Garma: K♣10♣10♦8♦ All in
Yang Wang: A♠A♥4♠3♥

"Oh shit," Garma whispered as he was in rough shape but with back door outs. One of the promising cards came with the Q♦ turn as he picked up a straight and flush draw.

However, the 5♠ river was a blank and Garma was eliminated in 11th place for $130,629.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Juha Helppi opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Eric Garma on the button as well as Ethan Cahn in the big blind.

Cahn checked following the J♣6♥4♠ flop and Helppi continued for 525,000. Garma responded by raising to 2,800,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. That got a quick fold out of Cahn but Helppi did not immediately follow suit. After some consideration, however, he chose to vacate the pot to give Garma a big boost to his stack without showdown.
