Frank Visser

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Diogo Coelho raised to 2,000,000 in early position and Kristen Foxen called on the button. The flop fell 8♦10♣6♠ and was checked by both. Coelho then bet 2,200,000 on the 8♠ turn and Foxen called.

The 5♣ river was knuckled down again, and Foxen's A♥Q♥ was the better ace-high at showdown, winning from Coelho's A♠2♠.

The next hand, Joe Serock raised his button to 2,100,000 and Niklas Astedt defended his big blind. Astedt checked the 2♠7♣3♣ flop, after which Serock bet 1,400,000. Astedt called and the 6♠ turn rolled off.

Astedt decided to lead out for 3,500,000 and received an instant fold from Serock, resulting in Astedt taking over the tournament chip lead from his opponent.

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

Boris Angelov opened to 1,900,000 on the button and Malo Latinois three-bet to 4,400,000 in the big blind. Angelov four-bet jammed and Latinois called.

Boris Angelov: 6♥6♦ All in
Malo Latinois: A♠K♠

Angelov didn't have to sweat the flip for long as the flop landed 6♣8♣4♣ to give him a set. The 5♣ turn created chop possibilities, but instead the 6♠ river landed to give Angelov quads for an emphatic double.

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

Gerardo Hernandez open-jammed his stack of 11,400,000 from the hijack before Andres Gonzalez rejammed for 12,900,000 from the small blind.

Gerardo Hernandez: 6♠6♥ All in
Andres Gonzalez: A♠K♠

"Remember, sixes are a premium hand. I found a hand. I found a spot. Sixes," Hernandez said as he found himself flipping for his tournament life. The J♣J♠7♦ flop kept Hernandez ahead as did the 5♣ turn. The 7♥ river, though, counterfeited Hernandez's pair and he became the first elimination of the day.

With his elimination, the field have locked up $450,400.

Malo Latinois raised to 1,600,000 from an early position and Gabriel Moura three-bet to 4,500,000 in the hijack. The action thereafter folded back to the chip leader and Latinois gave it some thought before giving up the pot.

The very next hand, Latinois made it 1,600,000 from under the gun. He was three-bet the second time in a row as Jessie Bryant made it 5,000,000 on the button. Boris Angelov four-bet all-in for 8,700,000 from the small blind and Latinois folded, while Bryant called.

Boris Angelov: K♥K♣ All in
Jessie Bryant: 2♥2♦

The J♠10♣9♦ flop kept Angelov's kings in the lead, while the board ran out 3♦3♣ and Angelov more than doubled.

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

Jordan Griff raised to 6,300,000 in early position with 2,000,000 behind in the first hand of the day. Jessie Bryant called from the next seat and everybody else folded.

On the A♣10♠3♦ flop, the final chips went into the middle and Griff was in dire shape.

Jordan Griff: Q♠Q♦ All in
Jessie Bryant: 3♠3♣

The 8♠ turn changed nothing but Griff spiked the miraculous Q♥ on the river to survive in spectacular fashion as he walked around the table catching his breath before sitting back down to collect his double up.
