Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ronee Dizon moved all in for 150,000 from the cutoff. Christopher Zollo called on the button, and John Divecha called out of the small blind.

When the dealer spread out the flop of 2♠K♠8♦ Divecha shoved for around 350,000. Zollo snap-called.

Ronee Dizon: Q♠Q♦ All in
John Divecha: A♠9♠ All in
Christopher Zollo: K♥K♦

Zollo was ahead with a set of kings, and if he could fade a spade, or running queens on the rest of the runout, he would bust two players. The A♣ turn and J♣ river didn't improve Divecha or Dizon, and they were both out of the tournament.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The hand was a battle of two players in early position when Angelo Perez opened under the gun to 100,000. Shaun Colquhoun called in the next seat over, and the rest of the table folded, creating a heads-up pot.

The flop of 5♥9♣5♠ resulted in Perez checking his option before Colquhoun fired 150,000.

Perez called to bring the 9♠ turn. Perez once again checked, and Colquhoun bet 250,000, which was called by Perez.

The 7♣ river saw both players check.

Colquhoun showed A♥7♥ for a rivered pair, and Perez mucked his hand while shaking his head.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mark Kawamoto raised under the gun with only Xia Wang making the call from the next seat.

Kawamoto continued with a bet of 100,000 on the 5♥K♣7♠ flop and was met by an immediate raise to 500,000 from Wang. Kawamoto did some inventory and then 3-bet jammed for 1,135,000. Wang quickly called.

Mark Kawamoto: K♠K♥ All in
Xia Wang: 5♦5♣

It was a cooler as both players had flopped a set. Wang needed to find the last remaining five in the deck to send Kawamoto home. The rest of the runout came 4♦Q♠ and Kawamoto earned a huge double-up.

Rick Muniz: A♣Q♦

Muniz immediately spiked an ace on the flop of A♠3♣8♥ making Hennager stand up from her seat seemingly ready to leave. The dealer completed the board with J♣ on the turn and 6♥ on the river. Hennager headed to claim her cash prize as Muniz added the pot to his stack.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Shaun Colquhoun's surge continued as he sent Jeremy Geist packing.

Colquhoun opened the action with a raise to 150,000 from early position.

Geist peeked at his cards and chose to commit the rest of his stack for a total of 450,000.

Colquhoun pushed a call to the middle creating a showdown in the late stages of the tournament.

Jeremy Geist: A♥Q♦ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: A♦5♦

Geist was in a prime position to double up but the flop of 3♥4♣A♣ gave Colquhoun a gutshot to the wheel.

The 3♠ turn was safe for Geist, but the 2♣ river sunk his hand eliminating him in 12th place. Geist earned $3,074 for his finish.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Shaun Colquhoun made it 100,000 to go from under the gun and Angelo Perez jammed from the big blind for 170,000. Colquhoun called.

Angelo Perez: 7♣6♣ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: K♥9♦

If Colquhoun could hold with king-high, then the remaining players would be on the unofficial final table.

The flop came down Q♣J♥7♦ to put Perez in the lead with a pair of sevens. The Q♥ on the turn gave Colquhoun some extra outs, and he managed to find one on the J♣ river. Colquhoun counterfeited Perez's pair of sevens, and only ten remained.
