Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mark Tornai was in an early position and raised to 200,000. Robertson Yap moved all in from the big blind for their remaining 1,200,000.

Both the blinds folded, with the big blind accidentally showing their low pocket pair. Action was back around to Tornai who made the call.

Robertson Yap: A♣2♥ All in
Mark Tornai: A♥10♦

Tornai was ahead and Yap needed some luck to stay alive.

The 5♥J♦K♦ flop didn't change anything, and Tornai improved to a flush after seeing the 9♦ turn and 3♦ river.

Yap was already stood up from the table on the turn as he realised his fate and was eliminated with around 300 players remaining.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ryan Rivers was all in against Zachary Evers with his last 1,610,000 chips.

Ryan Rivers: J♥J♠ All in
Zachary Evers: A♠Q♠

The flop Q♣A♥10♠ was almost a home run for Evers, giving him top two pair.

But Rivers' double play was still alive after the 9♠ turn gave him an open-ended straight draw to go with his jacks. However, he missed on the river 10♣.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On one of the first hands after a 60-minute dinner break, Jose Oscal moved all in for 420,000 from the cutoff. Erick Carrasco called from the small blind position. Oscal stood up awaiting his fate as the players tabled their cards.

Jose Oscal: 8♠7♥ All in
Erick Carrasco: K♣Q♠

On an all-diamond flop, A♦Q♦7♦ both players hit pairs with Carrasco taking the lead with his king.

As they say 'Fortune favors the brave' as the 7♣ peeled off on the turn, Oscal made trip sevens..

A meaningless 2♠ hit the river, sending a pile of chips over to Oscal as he exchanged pleasantries with a tablemate across from him.

"Let me have my moment man!" Oscal responded as he raked in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jose Oscal	840,000 710,000	710,000
Erick Carrasco	820,000 647,000	647,000

Nick Vazquez

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Bhargav Kakani opened from early position, and the only caller was Alan Raymundo in the big blind.

The flop came 8♥7♦6♥ and the action went check-check. The 7♥ fell on the turn, and Raymundo jammed all in. Kakani instantly called and the cards were exposed.

Alan Raymundo: 10♣9♣ All in
Bhargav Kakani: A♥3♥

Raymundo had flopped the nuts, but was drawing dead on the turn to Kakani's flop. The inconsequential 5h fell on the river, and Raymundo was eliminated.

Bhargav Kakani	5,900,000 5,043,000	5,043,000

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Morgan Ravail and Richard Alati were already heads-up with chips in play. Alati jammed the small blind after Ravail had opened from the hi-jack and action was back on Ravail, who was covered by Alati.

Ravail tanked for over a minute before making the call.

Morgan Ravail: 10♣10♥ All in
Richard Alati: A♠10♠

Some table talk was shared with Alati saying 'I knew when you were tanking you had something'.

Ravail let out a sigh of relief after holding on the 5♥2♥6♣7♣K♣ runout, securing him a huge double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Morgan Ravail	5,290,000 4,964,000	4,964,000
Richard Alati	1,075,000 477,000	477,000

John Avelino

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The action folded to Mark Mattsen in late position who raised to 250,000. He was met with a decision when Ari Shin moved all his chips into the middle for 840,000. After a short while Mattsen threw in a pink 500k chip to make the call and the difference as the players sitting near each other tabled their cards. There were two players heading to a runout with one player at risk.

Ari Shin: 10♣10♠ All in
Mark Mattsen: A♠J♠

Shin survived on a clean runout of 6♦8♣K♥5♠7♥, Mattsen tapped the table in good sportsmanship to say good game as Shin stacked his newly acquired chips.
