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

Bryce Yockey opened to 420,000 from the hijack, leaving 310,000 behind. Calvin Anderson called from the cutoff.

The flop came 6♣2♦6♥ and Yockey fired a 250,000 continuation-bet that Anderson called.

Yockey put in his last 60,000 on the 5♦ turn and Anderson called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Bryce Yockey: A♥10♣9♣2♠ All in
Calvin Anderson: A♠8♣4♠3♦

Anderson had a straight and the nut-low leaving Yockey drawing dead. After the inconsequential J♥ river, Anderson scooped the pot while Yockey's deep run came to an end in sixth place.

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

Ronnie Tate jumpstarted the hand, betting 320,000 preflop. Darryll Fish and Zachary Zaret called from the small and big blinds, respectively.

The flop hit 5♦9♠J♦ and play was checked around. When the 2♣ landed on the turn, Zaret asked for the size of the pot and bet it, 1,080,000. Tate made the call, Fish elected not to swam away.

The Q♣ hit on the river, and Zaret slowly checked. Tate didn't think about it took long before sliding a stack of 100,000 chips into the pot for a raise of 2 million. Zaret snap- called it.

Zachary Zaret: A♣J♣J♥8♥
Ronnie Tate: A♥6♠3♥2♦

Zaret's trip jacks on the flop paid off big-time.

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

Zachary Zaret limped in from under the gun, Bryce Yockey limped behind from early position and Darryll Fish checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came A♦J♣6♠ and Fish checked. Zaret bet 225,000, Yockey called and Fish folded.

On the K♦ turn Zaret fired a pot-sized bet which put Yockey, who had around 1,300,000 behind, deep into the tank.

After a few minutes Yockey, with a clearly frustrated expression, opted to fold and Zaret won the hand without showdown.
