Level 40 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Phuoc Nguyen’s chip stack has been on a roller coaster ride, and he found himself as a short stack in Level 40.

He decided to make a stand by moving all in while under the gun for his remaining 9,300,000.

Ha Duong, who covered Nguyen, called and the rest of the players folded.

Phuoc Nguyen: K♣Q♣ All in
Ha Duong: A♦2♦

Nguyen was behind, but received a favorable flop when the dealer fanned 6♣3♣5♦, giving him a flush draw. Nguyen got there when 2♣ showed up on the river, and 9♠ on the river officially gave him the winning hand.

It was a blind on blind scenario in a raised pot preflop and action was picked up on the flop of 5♥9♥3♥ and Ha Duong was in the small blind and bet 3,100,000 and Ricky Robinson took his time calculating carefully and then suddenly moved all in for 19,500,000 and Duong called very quickly.

Robinson exclaimed, "Do you have a flush?"

Ricky Robinson: K♠7♥ All in
Ha Duong: A♠A♥

Doung had the best hand and Robinson was drawing very slim and the turn came a 10♣ and the river was the 3♣ and Robinson was eliminated by Doung's two pair.

Roberto Antelo was on the button and went all in for 8,700,000 chips. Albyn Bello in the small blind re-raised all-in. Big blind folded.

Roberto Antelo: K♥J♣ All in
Albyn Bello: A♥10♦

Antelo was at risk and behind and the 5♥Q♥6♣ flop did not change anything.

The turn came the 6♥, bringing in the flush draw for both players.

The river 3♥ completed both flushes. Antelo at first thought he got the best of it with the king-high flush, but then noticed that Bello edged him out with the nut flush.

Ha Duong raised from the cutoff and Robert Szumowski moved all in for around 14,000,000. Jason Wester was in the big blind and tank folded, with Duong making a quick call.

Robert Szumowski: Q♣8♣ All in
Ha Duong: J♠8♠

Szumowski was just ahead and looking to hold to stay in the tournement.

The flop came 3♦7♦10♣ and the turn came A♣.

The 6♦ river didn't change anything and Szumowski held for the double. He remarked to the table, "this hand saved me twice, its been good to me".

Level 41 : Blinds 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Panagiotis Mavritsakis made a large preflop bet of 17,500,000 and left a 100,000 chip behind.

Action folded to Lawrence Barber in the big blind, and Barber asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Mavritsakis’ bet and it sent Barber deep in the tank.

Barber used approximately a little more than two minutes on his decision, peeking down at his hole cards multiple times. He also looked over to the other table to observe the action before eventually making the call.

The player in the big blind folded, leading to the flop.

The dealer fanned Q♦A♦5♠ on the board, and both players checked. The 9♥ showed up on the turn, resulting in both players to check.

The 4♠ on the river also brought about checks.

Barber tabled 10♠10♦, but his hand was no good against Mavritsakis’ A♣K♠ for a pair of aces.

Player	Chips	Progress
Panagiotis Mavritsakis	35,100,000 17,100,000	17,100,000
Lawrence Barber	14,800,000 17,500,000	17,500,000

Ha Duong: J♥5♣

The dealer dealt 7♠10♠4♠3♣7♦ and Wester enjoyed a nice double up with two pair.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Action folded to Panagiotis Mavritsakis in the small blind and he put most of his chips in the middle, enough to cover Albyn Bello, who was in the big blind. Bello quickly announced call.

Albyn Bello: A♠A♥ All in
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: 9♣2♣

Mavritsakis gained some outs after hitting middle pair on the flop of 7♣9♦J♥.

For proof it is never easy, the turn J♣ gave Mavritsakis a flush draw. However, the river was the J♦ and Bello made a full house to double-up, while Mavritsakis was left with a short stack of less than five big blinds.

Albyn Bello	38,400,000 16,700,000	16,700,000

Ricardo Lopez was in the hijack and moved all in for 12,300,000 and Lawrence Barber contemplated for awhile from the big blind as it would be a big chunk out of his stack but he made the call and got the ultimate river card.

Ricardo Lopez: Q♦10♦ All in
Lawrence Barber: A♣4♣

The board was 5♣10♥5♦4♥4♠ and Barber hit his four for the full house.
