Level 41 : Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Justin Gutierrez moved all in from the hijack for his remaining 9,100,000 stack. Ray Albarado re-jammed from the small blind and covered Gutierrez.

Justin Gutierrez: 9♠9♦ All in
Ray Albarado: 5♥5♣

Both sitting with pocket pairs, Albarado wanted to improve to bust Gutierrez.

Neither player picked anything up on the 7♦Q♥J♦10♦10♥ runout and Gutierrez's nines were good enough to double him up in the last hand before the dinner break.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Riley Dieckhoff raised to 5,000,000 from late position. Ramaswamy Pyloore pushed in a three-bet when it had folded to him in the big blind, after which Dieckhoff quickly put his stack of 39,900,000 in the middle.

Pyloore weighed his options for a bit, then called with a covering stack.

Riley Dieckhoff: J♥J♦ All in
Ramaswamy Pyloore: A♠Q♥

Pyloore had Dieckhoff drawing to a chop after the 5♦4♣3♦2♥ turn gave the former a straight. Pyloore's wheel held up on the 8♣ river, and he eliminated Dieckhoff in a massive flip.

Action folded to Danny Olejniczak who moved all in from the cutoff for his remaining 6,200,000 stack. Courtenay Williams was in the big blind and made a snap call.

Danny Olejniczak: A♣6♥ All in
Courtenay Williams: A♠A♦

Olejniczak looked to the board to save him and the 5♣4♠6♠ gave some hope.

The 7♦ turn gave a chance for a chop but the 2♥ river sent Olejniczak home in 18th place.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Bobby Poe pushed in his 8,300,000 as first to act. David Pham looked him up in the hijack while the rest of the table got out of the way.

Bobby Poe: A♣6♠ All in
David Pham: A♦K♣

Pham's big lead disappeared on the Q♠4♠6♣ flop as Poe paired his six. Neither the A♠ turn nor the 2♦ river changed the situation as Poe's rail celebrated his double-up.

David Pham	33,700,000 10,000,000	10,000,000

Level 41 : Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Matt Glantz open-jammed from under the gun for his remaining 21,900,000 stack. Sergei Petrushevskii was in the hijack and took some time before asking for a recount of Glantz's chips, as he was sitting with 21,800,000. After around two minutes, Petrushevskii made the call.

Sergei Petrushevskii: A♦10♦ All in
Matt Glantz: K♣J♦

Petrushevskii was ahead pre-flop, and things stayed that way on the Q♠7♠9♠ flop.

The 10♠ turn brought in the straight for Glantz, and the A♣ river wasn't enough to save Petrushevskii.

Tam Nguyen moved in for 13,000,000 on the button. Ryan Leng made a quick call in the big blind, revealing the cards.

Tam Nguyen: A♦4♣ All in
Ryan Leng: K♥Q♣

Nguyen paired his ace on the 9♥A♣6♦ flop for a huge lead. Leng was left without hope on the 4♠ turn, with the 9♣ river only being needed for formality's sake.
