Jonathan Tamayo raised to 60,000 and Diogo Veiga called. Abdullah Al-Shanti three-bet to 190,000 in the big blind and forced two folds.

A few hands later, Rec Poker Jim Reid was in the big blind and the entire table folded to Tamayo in the small blind, who pushed all-in.

Reid double-checked his cards, declared he was saving his one time and called all-in for 195,000.

Jim Reid: 7♠7♥ All in
Jonathan Tamayo: A♣3♥

"Keep the cards low," Reid asked but had a sweat on the J♣10♦4♠ flop and Q♥ turn. The river was the 2♠ and Reid doubled.

"I still have my one time, right here in the pocket," the jovial Canadian said.

Al-Shanti replied "you didn't use your shot glass", which Reid had been doing previously to wager all of his chips.

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A brutal two hands for Adam Crockett saw him eliminated from the Main Event.

Firstly, Crocket opened the hijack to 65,000 and got called by Jan Nakladal on the button & Carlos Sanchez Diaz in the big blind.

On the 3♠7♦4♠ flop, Diaz checked, Crockett bet 75,000, and only Nakladal called.

The 10♠ landed on the turn and Crockett fired another bet of 225,000 into the pot, which Nakladal called.

Crockett slowed down with a check on the A♣ river, and Nakladal made a bet of 500,000. Crockett thought it about it for a while before he made the call.

Nakladal tabled A♠9♠ for the nut flush, and Crockett mucked saying he had 6x5x for a straight.

The very next hand, Crockett shoved for 150,000 from middle position and Nakladal made the call from the cutoff.

Adam Crockett: J♠10♠ All in
Jan Nakladal: A♦Q♦

Crockett flopped a Royal Flush draw but couldn't connect with any of his outs as the board ran out K♠Q♠7♣5♦K♥, which ended his Main Event run.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jan Nakladal	3,100,000 690,000	690,000
Jessie Bryant	2,200,000 225,000	225,000
