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

Peter Neff was left all in in the big blind with only 500,000 left in chips.

On a board of 5♦A♣2♦9♠6♣ Kyna England moved all in.

Yu Hsiang Huang went into the tank for approximately three minutes and eventually made the call.

England flipped over K♣9♣ for second pair, but Huang then showed the A♠J♣ for top pair. Neff held the Q♣7♦ in the big blind.

Huang scored a double knockout and pushed up to over 26,000,000

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

Olav Prinzvonsachsen moved all in for 3,225,000 from the button, and Benjamin Olson took a short while to make the call from the big blind.

Olav Prinzvonsachsen: A♥6♦ All in
Benjamin Olson: K♥5♦

The flop came A♣7♦10♥ with the ace right in the window, giving Prinzvonsachsen top pair. A 2♦ on the turn had Olson drawing dead.

The 7♠ hitting the felt on the river changed nothing, and Prinzvonsachsen was able to hang on to his bounty and doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Olson	25,500,000 500,000	500,000
Olav Prinzvonsachsen	6,450,000 6,550,000	6,550,000

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

Benjamin Eilers raised from the hijack to 1,000,000. Action folded around to Benjamin Olson in the big blind who raised to 3,500,000, Eilers called.

The flop came J♣8♥6♣ and Olson bet 5,000,000. Eilers called.

On a 7♥ turn, Olson sent in his remaining ~14,000,000 and was beaten into the middle by Eilers.

Benjamin Olson: A♦K♥
Benjamin Eilers: 6♥6♦

After an irrelevant 2♠ river, Olson collected his bounty and massive pot to secure the chip lead.

Jerome Solomon

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

In a hand that bled into the 15-minute break, Raad Farida went all in under the gun for his final 1.5 million chips. Artem Riabov made the call in middle position.

Raad Farida: A♥A♦
Artem Riabov: Q♠J♠

Farida had a royal flush draw on the flop of J♥K♥Q♥ against Riabov's two pair. Riabov improved on the turn when the Q♣ gave him a full house, but Farida still had hope.

The 9♥ was almost the card he needed. He exited in 58th place.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Elliott Kampen opened to 1,200,000 from middle position and Diana Allen called on the button.

They went to a flop of 9♣8♠4♣ where both checked to the K♣ turn. Kampen fired out 1,500,000 and Allen min-raised to 3,000,000. Kampen called.

When the 2♥ dropped on the river, Kampen checked it over and Allen immediately counted out chips and threw out a bet of 5,000,000. Kampen thought for a few seconds before he folded, which meant Allen added to her stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Elliott Kampen	39,000,000 2,000,000	2,000,000
Diana Allen	18,000,000 5,000,000	5,000,000
