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

Julio Torres moved all in before the flop for 1,835,000 from under the gun. The action folded around to Gary Armstrong in late position who made the call by putting a short stack of chips in front of him.

Julio Torres: 10♠10♣ All in
Gary Armstrong: A♦J♣

Torres was at risk and in the lead as we headed to the flop of 7♠Q♣8♣.

As the dealer placed the Q♥ on the turn, Armstrong was looking for an ace or a jack to eliminate Torres late into Day 2.

A K♥ hit the river and Torres doubled up to almost 4 million in chips.

Julio Torres	3,970,000 2,520,000	2,520,000
Gary Armstrong	2,565,000 2,165,000	2,165,000

Lok Chan: A♥K♥

Moolhuizen was in good shape from the flop, but received bad news by the end of the runout 8♣5♦3♠3♣A♠. The river ace boosted Chan into the top three in overall chips for the event.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

As the action was picked up by Pokernews James Morris had just sat down and went all in from late position for 2,430,000 and was called by Morgan Ravail.

James Morris: K♥Q♥ All in
Morgan Ravail: A♥J♠

A board of 6♥4♠10♠ was no help to Morris as we was looking for running hearts, any pair or specifically an ace and a jack to make a straight.

The 8♦ hit the turn and Ravail still had the lead with Morris at risk.

Fortunately for Morris a Q♦ peeled off on the river as he doubled up before the next break late in Day 2.

Player	Chips	Progress
James Morris	4,860,000 4,702,000	4,702,000
Morgan Ravail	4,635,000 655,000	655,000
