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

Players folded around to Duc Nguyen in the small blind. He limped in. Lukas Hafner in the big blind made it 3,500,000. Nguyen then three-bet to 12,000,000 and Hafner, after a few moments of thinking, went all in. Nguyen quickly called.

Lukas Hafner: A♥J♥ All in
Duc Nguyen: A♠Q♠

Hafner was at risk with the dominated ace. The flop 7♦2♦5♥ did not change much, Hafner needed a jack or running hearts for the win. The turn 7♣ and 6♣ did not work out for him and he was sent to the rail, while Nguyen added a pile of chips to his stack, extending his chip lead.

Duc Nguyen opened to 2,500,000 from middle position, then Ilija Savevski on the button three-bet all-in for 17,100,000. The blinds folded and Nguyen called.

Ilija Savevski: K♣K♥ All in
Duc Nguyen: K♦Q♦

Nguyen was clearly unhappy when he discovered that Savevski had kings. But his smile reappeared when he flopped a straight on J♠10♠A♠.

A split was still possible after the 3♠ turn, but the 2♦ completed the board and Savevski was eliminated.

Dongying Ling went all in for 6,300,000 from the small blind. Michael Liang was in the big blind and called.

Dongying Ling: 9♠7♥ All in
Michael Liang: Q♠9♥

Ling was at risk and dominated. The flop 6♦8♠3♦ brought him some help with the open ended straight draw.

The turn A♦ did not change anything, and neither did the river 6♠ - the pot went to Liang with sixes with the better kicker and Ling was eliminated.
