Laura Fryer

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Boris Kolev raised from a middle position and got a call from the hijack. Pei Li moved all in for his remaining stack and only Kolev made the call.

Pei Li: A♣10♣ All in
Boris Kolev: 9♠9♥

The flop came 2♥7♥4♦ and Li was still looking to hit.

The 9♦ was turned and Li got up from his seat, knowing he was drawing dead.

As the dealer places the 2♠, Li walked away from the table, and Kolev took the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Players were already heads-up and all in with their cards face up. Jason Wheeler was all in for his remaining 153,000 chips.

Jason Wheeler: K♦Q♥ All in
Michael Bruno: A♥Q♣

Wheeler needed to improve but the 5♥J♠J♥ flop didn't give much to work with.

The 10♦ turn gave Wheeler some hope with an open-ended straight draw, but the 8♦ river didn't bring it in.

Wheeler bust the tournament with just over 200 players remaining.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a hand that went well into the break, Scott Blumstein limped the cutoff. David Jackson raised to 59,000 from the button, which folded out the blinds and Blumstein called.

The flop came J♥4♥2♦. Jackson continued for 119,000 which Blumstein called.

The turn was the 7♥. Jackson cut out a bet of 125,000 after several moments of waiting, Blumstein called.

The river was the 3♠. Jackson jammed all in and Blumstein sighed to think it over. But he called after just a few moments and would see the bad news as Jackson tabled the A♥Q♥ for the nut flush to collect the massive pot.

David Jackson	1,305,000 965,000	965,000

Scott Blumstein	211,000 539,000	539,000

Laura Fryer

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Shane Klasnimi moved all in from under the gun which sent the hijack into the tank. After around 3 minutes, the hijack also moved all in and Klasnimi just covered his stack. Kunal Patni was in the cutoff with one 5,000 chip and flicked it into the pot to call, and the blinds folded.

Kunal Patni: J♠7♦ All in
Hijack: A♥J♣ All in
Shane Klasnimi: 6♣6♦

The 5♥3♦8♠ flop didn't change too much for any player and Klasnimi was still ahead with his pocket sixes.

The 9♥ turn brought in a gutshot straight draw for Patni and Klasnimi.

The dealer placed the 7♣ river, to bring in the straight for Klasnimi, and Patni and the hijack were eliminated with around 250 players remaining in the tournament.
