Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Darryll Fish led out with 200,000 chips on a flop of 2♠3♥2♦, then called a raise to 750,000 by chip leader Zachary Zaret.

The Q♦ hit on the turn and Zaret fired again, this time announcing a pot-sized bet. Fish pondered his next move for a few seconds before calling all in with 2,180,000 chips.

Darryll Fish: K♦Q♥5♣2♥ All in
Zachary Zaret: K♠8♦7♦2♣

Each player had flopped trips, but Fish had filled up on the turn. Zaret had outs to win on the river, but the 8♥ wasn't one of them and Fish, who had the second-lowest stack entering the final table, had doubled up with deuces full of queens.

Darryll Fish	6,500,000 3,000,000	3,000,000
Zachary Zaret	6,240,000 3,335,000	3,335,000

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

Zachary Zaret opened with a 320,000-chip raise from the big blind. Christopher Vitch made the call in the big blind.

The flop came 3♠8♠3♦. Vitch bet 400,000 Zaret called.

The turn A♣ drew little interest as both players checked. That changed one the river when the A♥ rolled off.

After Vitch checked, Zaret slid 1,200,000 into the pot. Vitch gave it some thought before check-raising to 5,200,000 chips.

Zaret folded. After the hand the two were virtually even in chips atop the leaderboard, with five players remaining.

Player	Chips	Progress
Christopher Vitch	9,660,000 1,160,000	1,160,000

Zachary Zaret	9,400,000 1,900,000	1,900,000
