Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Nicolas Milgrom opened to 700,000 from the cutoff and Igor Zektser announced a pot-sized raise from the button, enough to put Milgrom all in. Milgrom called off with his remaining stack of around 700,000, putting himself at risk.
Nicolas Milgrom: A♦J♣J♦6♦5♠ 
Igor Zektser: K♠J♥10♦8♥8♦
Milgrom's pair of jacks were still good for the high on the 3♥K♠8♥ flop, but Zektser had a ton of outs to either scoop or take half with a flush draw, live overcards and the nut-low draw. Miraculously for Milgrom, the 8♦ turn and 10♦ river were bricks. No low was possible and his two pair, jacks and eights were good for a full double up.
"Who said two jacks were bad?" Milgrom joked.
"What an amazing hold" Joshua Biedak commented as Milgrom dragged in the pot.

Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Ryan Hoenig raised to 600,000 and was called by Nicolas Milgrom before Kevin Ho declared an all in of over two million. Hoenig went all in and Milgrom released his hand.
Kevin Ho: A♣Q♣7♥4♥2♦
Ryan Hoenig: A♦Q♠J♠7♦4♣
"No jack!", yelled Ho as the flop scrolled across 6♠J♥9♠, giving Hoenig the lead. The turn was a further needle, leacing Ho drawing dead when the J♣ peeled.
The 10♣ that completed the board as Ho was coming to terms with his elimination.
Paul Sincere couldn't contain his excitement as his friend and fellow competitor Hoenig was awarded the pot, clapping his hands, and shouting, "Let's go! It's my first World Series final table, I can't help myself." Hoenig was amused but reminded his friend that Ho had just busted.
