Damarjai Davenport raised in the small blind to 570,000, Eshaan Bhalla called in the big blind.

Davenport quickly tabled A♠A♦ and it won the pot, Bhalla mucked his hand and said "you raised so big from the small blind it scared me".

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eshaan Bhalla shoved from the small blind and Dani Genov called in the big blind for his stack of 1,155,000.

Dani Genov: A♣9♦ All in
Eshaan Bhalla: 10♣7♠

Bhalla had live cards to try and eliminate Genov, but the 6♠A♥K♠ flop made it an unlikely scenario. However, the 4♠ turn did bring a sweat as Bhalla picked up a flush draw. The Q♣ river was a brick, though, and Genov survived.

Kai Cocklin

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yoann Rubele was getting very short and shoved 1,100,000 in from the small blind, and got snapped off by Damarjai Davenport in the big blind.

Yoann Rubele: J♦7♣ All in
Damarjai Davenport: Q♠J♥

Rubele was the favorite to hit the rail, but found a lucky seven on the 9♣2♣7♠ flop to take the lead. A J♠ on the turn improved both players, and the 6♥ on the river kept Rubele in the running.

Yoann Rubele: K♠Q♠ All in
Damarjai Davenport: A♣7♦

Davenport's ace-high remained best as the board ran out 8♥2♥5♠3♥10♦ and Rubele was sent to the rail.

Genov Adds Some Precious Chips

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Dani Genov limped in from the small blind and Damarjai Davenport checked his option from the big blind.

Both tapped the table on the 2♣K♦3♥ flop and when the 5♣ hit the turn, Genov checked again. Davenport bet 130,000, but was forced to make it 160,000 as that was the minimum bet. Genov then check-raised to 555,000, and Davenport called.

With around 1,100,000 behind, Genov shoved the Q♦ river and Davenport quickly folded.
