Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kyle Case made a big open-raise from middle position to 3,000,000 and Michael Castro shoved 15,000,000 from the cutoff. Joshua Prager was on the button and also shoved for around 20,000,000, which got Case to fold.

Michael Castro: 9♣9♦ All in
Joshua Prager: A♣K♥

Castro maintained his lead on the 7♥8♦7♣ flop but an A♥ fell on the turn which left him with just two outs. No more nines could be squeezed out of the deck as the Q♥ river confirmed Castro's elimination.

Kai Cocklin

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

On a board of Q♣K♣3♥ with around 8,000,000 chips in the pot, Georgios Skarparis bet and called the shove of Seungjun Noh who had 13,100,000.

Seungjun Noh: 6♣3♣ All in
Georgios Skarparis: K♠10♥

Noh got some instant service as the 4♣ turn improved him to an unbeatable flush. A meaningless 6♠ fell on the river and Noh was pushed the pot.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Paul Dhaliwal moved all-in for his last 3,250,000 in early position and the action folded around to Stefan Jauslin in the big blind. After asking for a count, Jauslin took about 30 more seconds and made the call.

Paul Dhaliwal: Q♥6♥ All in
Stefan Jauslin: A♣3♠

Dhaliwal had two live cards but the A♠J♠10♣ gave Jauslin a pair of aces. Dhaliwal still had a gutshot straight draw but the 5♦ turn and 4♣ river were no help as he stood up from the table.

Rahul Jain shoved 3,525,000 and the action folded around to Georgios Skarparis who made the call in the big blind.

Rahul Jain: Q♦8♥ All in
Georgios Skarparis: 9♣2♣

The K♥4♥2♠ flop gave Skarparis a pair of deuces to take the lead and Jain couldn't catch up as the dealer ran out the 4♦ turn and the J♥ river.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Mikhail Zavoloka shoved the small blind and Maximilian Schindler tank called off his last 4,300,000 in the big blind.

Maximilian Schindler: K♥2♣ All in
Mikhail Zavoloka: 9♦4♣

"Great call," said a tablemate as the hands were tabled.

"We'll see what the dealer says," Schindler said with a chuckle.

The A♥10♣7♠ flop was safe for Schindler but the 4♠ landed on the turn to give Zavoloka a pair and Schindler jumped back in his chair as he called for a king but the 8♥ river was not what he needed.

Seungjun Noh raised to 2,500,000 from the hijack and Kaihung Hu defended from the big blind to find a flop of 8♣J♦K♠.

Noh continued for 2,000,000 and Hu check-called, then both players checked the 3♥ turn.

The 9♦ river completed the board and Hu led out for 8,000,000. It didn't take long for Noh to fold.

Kyle Williamson raised the cutoff to 2,500,000 and Kyle Case called from the small blind. Mikhail Zavoloka also came along from the big blind.

On the 8♣9♣2♦ flop, all three players checked to the 6♦ turn. Case fired 4,000,000, and Zavoloka shoved for around 30,000,000. Williamson quickly folded, but Case was put to the test for his last 10,000,000. After thinking it over, Case folded and showed 7♦7♣.
