The board showed 9♣2♠Q♦3♣. Michael Estes bet 375,000 from early position with roughly 500,000 behind. From the button, Jared Bleznick raised enough to put Estes all-in. Estes snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Michael Estes: K♥K♠ All in
Jared Bleznick: 9♠9♥

Bleznick's flopped set had Estes drawing extremely thin. There was no miracle two-outer on the river as it came the 5♥, meaning Estes was out and Bleznick had become one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Triple-crown winner Harrison Gimbel is still in play and just collected a sizeable pot to get himself in a good chip position. According to the players, he opened the betting with a raise to 80,000 from early position. Gustavo Kamei had less than a small blind with 15,000 chips in late position and called all in. Qi Xu in the cutoff also called, and other players folded.

The flop came K♠9♣10♦. Gimbel bet 100,000 and Kamei moved all in, which was effective for Gimbel’s stack. Gimbel called.

Gustavo Kamei: A♠3♥All in
Harrison Gimbel: K♥K♦All in
Qi Xu: K♣10♣

Xu got very unlucky to flop two pair when Gimbel flopped top set. The turn J♠ and river 5♠ did not help Kamei or Xu and Gimbel doubled-up, while Kamei was eliminated. Xu was left with a short stack and has some work to do to get back in the run.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stefan Dimitrov moved all in first from early position with just under 300,000 chips. Lois Dufouleur put out a call from the cutoff. It was then Dong Lee’s turn on the button and he made a call all in for just under 300,000 chips. The small blind folded and Cristian Stival had a decision. He smiled and open-folded 10♠10♣ to all the action before him.

Stefan Dimitrov: Q♠Q♥All in
Dong Lee: 9♦9♣All in
Lois Dufouleur: A♠K♥

The flop K♦J♦7♥ gave the big edge to Dufouleur with a pair of kings.

The turn 8♣ brought in a gutshot for the nines, but the river 8♠ locked the pot for ace-king and Dimitrov and Lee were sent to the rail.
