Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Heads up on a Q♥9♠2♠J♦ turn, Justin Fawcett bet 2,500,000 into the pot of 4,500,000 from the big blind. Riley Dieckhoff called under the gun before Q♦ river completed the board.

Fawcett fired 4,500,000, which was quickly raised all in by Dieckhoff.

"I don't think I can fold," Fawcett admitted moments before he committed the 7,000,000 he had left behind. Dieckhoff tabled J♥J♣ for jacks full of queens, beating the 9♥9♦ of Fawcett, who left the COLOSSUS with nines full of queens

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Sigrid Dencker was first to act and raised to 1,000,000. Matt Glantz then pushed in his stack of 21,800,000 from the hijack, and Meshesha Truesaw called his last 7,200,000 off in the small blind.

Denkcer went into the tank, confirming the stacks of both opponents before settling on a fold.

Meshesha Truesaw: A♥Q♥ All in
Matt Glantz: A♠K♠

Glantz's domination grew further when he flopped a flush draw on 5♠A♦2♠. Neither the 6♣ turn nor the 9♦ river provided help to Truesaw, securing his elimination.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Danny Olejniczak opened from under the gun to 4,000,000. Jeffrey Valenti three-bet jammed for 9,000,000.

Olejniczak took some time before saying "I hope you have nothing", and moved chips over the line to make the call.

Jeffrey Valenti: A♠10♦ All in
Danny Olejniczak: 6♠6♥

Olejniczak was ahead until Valenti picked two pair on the A♥8♠10♠ flop.

The turn brought a 6♦, bringing in a set for Olejniczak, putting him back ahead. A couple of players at the table let out a "wow" in disbelief.

The 10♣ river went Valenti's way again, giving him the fuller boat.

Valenti secured the double up after the rollercoaster of a hand.

Jeffrey Valenti	20,500,000 9,225,000	9,225,000

Ray Albarado had checked in the big blind for Sergei Petrushevskii to bet 2,400,000 from the button. Albarado responded with a raise to 6,400,000. Petrushevskii took a few seconds and then jammed for Albarado to give up. Petrushevskii looked at his cards and decided to show he held the K♥ for top pair.

Raul Garza: K♣J♣

Albarado flopped a set on the K♥7♥A♠ flop, leaving Garza without outs on the 8♥ turn. The A♥ river was of no use to anyone, doubling up Albarado and leaving Garza with less than one big blind.
