Eric Revak raised from the cutoff to 800,000, and Michael Acevedo went all-in as next to act from the button for 7,325,000. Revak called and they were off to see five.

Michael Acevedo: 77 All in
Eric Revak: AA

Acevedo, needing help, found the runout of Q87J8 to save his tournament life. A pivotal moment for both players; with Acevedo now over 15,000,000 after hitting his set, and Revak badly wounded after his aces were cracked.

Holding on for Dear Life

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Only minutes after the table saw a player put on the clock for taking too long to decide whether to play his single remaining chip into a 5-milion chip pot, Table 216 was at it again.

Peter Neff bet 1,725,000 chips under the gun, saving four 25,000 chips. Brian Kelley in the hijack, three-bet all-in.

When the action got back to Neff. He took his time in deciding whether to risk his final 100,000 in chips. He took so long that the floor was called and he was put on the clock. The table burst into laughter.

Peter Neff: AJ
Brian Kelley: KQ

Neff managed a smile after hitting top pair on the flop of 2J6, but still had to fade Kelley's flush draw. The 8 turned and the 9 hit on the river, giving Neff the victory and the double-up.

A few hands later, the two were at it again. This time Kelley got the better of it, taking all but one 500,000 chip from Neff.

Menedyan Leaves Neff Super Short-Stacked

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Peter Neff had his stack of 4,650,000 in the middle from middle position and Norayr Menedyan had a tiny bit less on the button and committed.

Norayr Menedyan: KK All in
Peter Neff: KJ

Menedyan was in a great spot with his Cowboys and took full advantage of it as the 1074103 runout meant he doubled up, and Neff was left with less than a small blind.

Wilklow Takes From Strelitz

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Daniel Strelitz
Daniel Strelitz

Action was picked up on a 10210 flop with roughly 2,500,000 in the middle. Michael Wilklow bet 1,000,000 from early position, and Daniel Strelitz called. The turn brought the 9 and Wilklow checked before Strelitz bet 2,700,000. After some time, Wilklow made the call. The river was the 6, and Wilklow now led out for 10,000,000.

Strelitz went deep into the tank, trying to get a read on Wilklow. "I'm so confused," he stated. "What are you doing this with?" he asked. After some time, he added, "This is one of those pots where I'm a hero either way—if I call, I'm a hero; if I fold, I'm a hero." Wilklow remained stone-faced. Eventually, Strelitz found a fold, and Wilklow dragged in a nicely sized pot.

Relentless Pressure

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

From the button, the defending champion Malcolm Trayner opened the action to 1,000,000 and got called by big blind Can Miral taking both players to the flop.

Miral checked the Q98 flop. Trayner kept the heat up with an 800,000 bet which Miral called. With action passed to him once again on the 2 turn, Trayner made an essential pot sized bet of 3,500,000 which was enough to make Miral fold.

Quads For Mckay

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Valentino Konakchiev raised from the button to 1,000,000, and Jamey Mckay called from the big blind.

The flop came J105 Mckay checked, and Konakchiev bet 500,000. Mckay raised all-in for 3,200,000 and Konakchiev called.

Jamey Mckay: J10 All in
Valentino Konakchiev: 99

In great shape, Mckay found a 10 on the turn to seal the deal, followed by the 10 on the river to finish with quad tens and a massive double-up in the late stages of this tournament.

Kampen Spikes a Two-Outer to Bust Konakchiev

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Valentino Konakchiev
Valentino Konakchiev

It's a brutal game this poker, as Valentino Konakchiev just found out.

Konakchiev opened to 1,000,000 from early position and Elliott Kampen three-bet the hijack to 2,800,000. When it got back to Konakchiev, he shoved for around 17,000,000, and Kampen quickly called with a covering stack.

Valentino Konakchiev: KK All in
Elliott Kampen: JJ

The pocket kings of Konakchiev were well in the lead, but Kampen made a set on the J87 flop to take the lead. A 2 on the turn put a third heart on board, but it had no relevance as neither player held a heart in their hand.

Konakchiev couldn't find any of the last two kings on the river as the 5 completed the runout, meaning he was sent to the rail as Kampen's stack grew to around 50,000,000!
