Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cristian Stival moved almost all in from the cutoff for 495,000 and Ben Gazzola big blind announced, "Call" but put in 600,000 and Stival flipped over his cards. The big blind stated, "I just called."

Stival said, "Oh well, my cards are up."

The flop came out with 7♦Q♥5♥ and Stival pushed in his last 100,000 out of turn and Gazzola called.

Cristian Stival: K♦10♦ All in
Ben Gazzola: A♥10♣

The turn 8♦ and river Q♣ gave Gazzola the best hand with a pair of queens with his ace-kicker.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action started with a raise from the player in late position, which Tommy Nguyen three-bet from the hijack. Yoon Kim was in the cutoff and went all in. Late position folded and Nguyen called.

Yoon Kim: A♦Q♣All in
Tommy Nguyen: Q♠Q♦

Kim commented he needed to get lucky and got some options on the J♥10♦9♣ board. Both players flopped an open-ender and Kim said he will happily take a chop.

The turn 2♥ and river 9♠ did not bring the desired straight for Kim, however, and he was eliminated.

Toan Nguyen: J♦J♣All in

The flop came A♣K♦2♥ and gave Mermelstein a massive advantage with top two pair.

The turn 7♣ and river 3♥ changed nothing, Couden and Nguyen were out and Mermelstein added to his already very healthy stack.
