Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Cards were on their backs as Kfir Nahum was all in for 1,350,000 in the big blind, and the 10♥J♥A♦ flop was dealt.

Kfir Nahum: K♠Q♣ All in
Carlos Caldas: J♠J♦

"Fair fight." Caldas remarked as he saw Nahum's hand. Good news was short-lived as a 10♠ peeled off on the turn giving Caldas a full house, jacks full of tens.

Nahum immediately stood up before the river, the 6♦ as he was eliminated before the last level of the night on Day 2. Caldas seized the chip lead with a moutain of chips in front of him eclipsing the 21,000,000 chip mark.

Action was followed after Loc Tu was all in and at risk from a middle position for around six big blinds. He was covered by Pedro Claus who was sat to his direct left.

Loc Tu: A♦Q♠ All in
Pedro Claus: A♠K♥

Claus was holding strong on the 2♥10♣8♦ flop.

Tu took the lead on Q♦ when he turned a pair of queens.

Tu was saved as the 4♠ bricked out the river, leaving him to double up.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Siarhei Chudapal had 800,000 invested in the pot from calling Siarhei Chudapal's preflop raise from the cutoff.

After both players checked the flop 3♣7♠9♣, Cai went all in with her remaining 1,410,000 chips when the 3♦ turned. Chudapal thought about it for some time, then made the call.

Jessica Cai: A♠10♥ All in .
Siarhei Chudapal: A♦Q♦

The 8♥ on the river did not rescue Cai, who earlier in the day was the chip leader.

Pyloore Scoops Huge Pot From Bivens

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Nick Vazquez

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jason Bivens opened for a raise to 575,000. Action folded to Ramaswamy Pyloore in the big blind, and he raised to 2,000,000. Bivens then responded to with a four-bet all in. Pyloore made the call.

Ramaswamy Pyloore: K♠Q♠ All in
Jason Bivens: A♦J♥

The J♦5♠2♣ flop was good for Bivens, but the Q♦ turn was bad news. He couldn't catch up on the river 2♠, and he lost a huge pot to Pyloore.

Bivens was eliminated shortly after this hand.
