Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Christopher Brewer shoved from the cutoff into the smaller stacks to his left, and Scott Matte called for his last 1,100,000 from the small blind.

Scott Matte: K♥Q♦ All in
Christopher Brewer: 10♣9♠

Matte would have felt comfortable when he saw the 6♣3♠Q♣ flop as he improved to top pair which left Brewer drawing thin. A 7♠ on the turn did give Brewer a gutshot meaning only an eight on the river would see Matte eliminated.

Brewer did complete his straight on the 8♣ river which meant Matte was eliminated.

"I get the bounty, too," said Brewer as Matte was walking away from the table. Matte tossed the bounty card to Brewer and headed to the payout desk.

Todd Belsick: K♥Q♠ All in
Robert Heidorn: A♦10♥

Belsick pulled ahead on the 4♦K♣Q♣ flop, improving to two pair, kings and queens. However, the J♠ on the turn gave Heidorn a straight. The 8♦ on the river put an end to Belsick's impressive tournament run.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 160,000 from early position, then called after Jorge Carvalho three-bet to 350,000 from the button.

Carvalho continued for 150,000 on a flop of 7♦Q♦Q♥ and Mateos called, then both players checked the J♣ turn.

The 9♦ river landed on the felt and Mateos decided to go all-in for approximately 1,600,000. Carvalho went deep into the tank and after several minutes, the clock was called and he announced "call".

Jorge Carvalho: K♠J♥ All in
Adrian Mateos: A♦A♥

Carvalho called with two pair but ran into Mateos' aces. Carvalho only had 1,000,000 left, so he was eliminated.

On the next hand, Eshaan Bhalla received a walked and discovered... A♠A♣ in the big blind.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Elia Ahmadian shoved from the cutoff for around 500,000, and Didier Guerin shoved from the button for 585,000. Jay Farber was in the small blind and he also shipped his stack into the middle which put two players at risk.

Elia Ahmadian: A♣6♦ All in
Didier Guerin: 4♠4♦ All in
Jay Farber: K♦K♣

It was a great spot for Farber to pick up bounties and he did just that as pocket kings maintained their lead throughout the hand on the 2♣8♣7♥J♣10♠ runout.
