Mark Kawamoto got his last 1,200,000 into the middle from the blinds and Shaun Colquhoun called to try and send him home.

Mark Kawamoto: A♥4♥ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: K♣10♦

Kawamoto was ahead with ace-high until the flop came down 10♠8♠9♦ to give Colquhoun top pair. The 2♦ turn meant only an ace on the river could save Kawamoto. The river was the K♥ to provide Colquhoun with two pair, and Kawamoto was out.

Erick Torres

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Pedro Green's run came to an end at the hands of Phovieng Keokham, who has surged in the last two blind levels up the chip count.

Green opened the action when it was folded to him in late position. Green opted to jam for his remaining 1,000,000.

Keokham wasted no time calling and stood up after flipping over his wired aces.

Pedro Green: A♣Q♥
Phovieng Keokham: A♠A♦

Despite cracking aces earlier, Green could not find the magic a second time at the final table when the board came 3♠9♠2♦7♣6♠, putting an end to his tournament life.

Green earned a prize of $11,138 for his sixth-place finish.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

From under the gun, Connor Richards jammed for around 600,000 and was called by Christopher Zollo on the button.

Connor Richards: 10♠9♠ All in
Christopher Zollo: Q♥Q♣

Richards had run into Zollo's Ladies, but his suited connector had a lot of potential with five cards to come.

The flop fell A♥5♥4♥, which left Richards needing running cards to win. The rest of the runout came 3♣J♦, and Richards would have to settle for a seventh-place finish.

Green Cracks Aces

Erick Torres

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Pedro Green announced all in from late position and was snap called by Phovieng Keokham, putting Green at risk for his tournament life.

Pedro Green: A♦10♣ All in
Phovieng Keokham: A♣A♠

Green was in rough shape, but an all-diamond flop of K♦8♦10♦ gave Green new hope against the aces of Keokham.

Diamonds in this instance were Green's best friend as the 2♦ turn officially cracked the aces at a critical juncture of the final table for Green to keep his hopes of the top prize and the bracelet alive, much to the dismay of Keokham. The 4♥ river changed nothing, awarding Green the pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Christopher Zollo made it 240,000 from middle position and Connor Richards shoved for 300,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Zollo made the call to put Richards at risk.

Connor Richards: K♠K♥ All in
Christopher Zollo: K♦J♦

Richards had Zollo crushed preflop, and nothing changed on the 6♣Q♥2♥6♦Q♠ runout, as Zollo was drawing dead by the turn. Richards earned the much-needed double-up.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rick Muniz made it 340,000 to go from early position and Christopher Zollo called from the hijack.

When the dealer put out the flop of 9♦9♣9♥, Muniz jammed for 1,400,000 and Zollo instantly called.

Rick Muniz: 6♥6♣ All in
Christopher Zollo: A♦A♣

Both players had flopped boats, but Zollo's nines full of aces were in the lead, and he could only lose to running cards. The rest of the board came J♥K♥, and Muniz was out in 8th place.

Erick Torres

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Shaun Colquhoun began the action with a raise to 250,000 from early position. Action folded to Pedro Green, who chose to commit his whole stack for 515,000. Colquhoun snap-called Green in a dominant position to knock him out.

Pedro Green: K♣Q♣ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: A♠K♥

The situation was bleak for Green as his king-high was dominated by Colquhoun.

The flop gave no help to Green as it came 7♣9♠5♣.

Magic came on the turn when the Q♠ hit the felt, giving Green the lead. A Q♥ on the river completed the board, awarding Green the pot.
