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

Paul Runcan moved all in for 795,000, and next to act, Sebastian Crane, moved all in too, covering Runcan's stack.

The rest of the table got out of the way.

Paul Runcan: 5♣5♦ All in
Sebastian Crane: 9♠9♣

Runcan was behind by quite some distance, and the flop didn't help his cause. The dealer fanned out 2♥2♠9♥, giving Crane a flopped full house.

No miracle for Runcan as the turn 7♣ and river 10♥ sealed his fate, and he headed to the exit.

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

Dylan Linde opened the hijack to 210,000, and when action folded to Jamey McKay in the small blind, he moved all in for 1,400,000.

Action folded back to Linde, who called.

Jamey Mckay: K♠10♦ All in
Dylan Linde: J♠J♣

The flop spiced things up a little bit, coming down 9♣8♣7♣. This gave McKay a straight draw, but Linde had flopped a straight flush draw.

The 5♥ turn had no effect, but the 10♠ river gave Linde a straight, eliminating McKay.

Joseph Carden open-shoved for 650,000 under the gun and was called by Alexander Greenblatt in the small blind, taking them to showdown.

Joseph Carden: J♣10♠ All in
Alexander Greenblatt: A♥K♠

Already ahead, Greenblatt's lead was strengthened when the flop dropped 9♠K♣6♥ hitting the board with a pair of kings. The runout 7♦6♠ didn't help Carden at all. Greenblatt scooped the pot as Carden headed to the payout counter.

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

Ryan Wolfson open-shoved in the small blind for a little less than 2,000,000 and got called by big blind Jon Vallinas taking them to showdown.

Ryan Wolfson: Q♦J♣ All in
Jon Vallinas: A♥8♠

Wolfson had a chance to double up when he spiked a pair on the 4♦J♦6♦ flop. The turn 4♥ didn't change anything.

But his hopes of staying longer in the tournament were dashed when the A♠ dropped on the river giving Vallinas the better pair. Wolfson left the table as the chips were shipped towards Vallinas's direction.

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

Action started with Ian O'Hara moving all in on the button for 1,670,000. Sebastian Crane then moved all in from the small blind for a smaller amount, 975,000. Mark Darner then looked down at his hand and immediately called, covering both players.

Sebastian Crane: 6♠6♦ All in
Ian O'Hara: Q♣J♥ All in
Mark Darner: A♦A♥

Darner had two players all in and at risk with the final table looming, and maintained the lead on the 8♣5♣J♦ flop.

However, the Q♥ turn propelled O'Hara into the lead, and when the river peeled the 9♦, this crucial pot was pushed in the direction of O'Hara as Crane headed to the payout desk.

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

Travis Hartshorn opened for 240,000 and got two callers in Christopher Puetz on the button and Aram Oganyan in the big blind.

The flop came 3♥8♣Q♣ and after action was passed to him, Hartshorn bet another 380,000 in the pot which Puetz called. Oganyan folded leaving the two men heads-up.

Both players checked the turn A♦. On the river 10♦, Hartshorn checked to Puetz who shoved all-in. Hartshorn went into the tank, taking his time until the break was announced. He started bobbing his head as if it were a clock ticking.

Finally he made the call. He tabled A♣6♠ for top pair but Puetz showed J♣9♣ for a rivered straight. All the players went on break and will return in 15 minutes without Hartshorn.

Player	Chips	Progress
Christopher Puetz	8,980,000 20,000	20,000
Aram Oganyan	3,810,000 235,000	235,000

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

David Mcgowan raised the hijack to 320,000, and when action got to Aram Oganyan in the small blind, he responded with a three-bet to 1,120,000.

Mcgowan spent some time assessing the situation and confirming the sizes of the stacks involved before moving all in. Oganyan snap-called, and the players revealed their cards.

Aram Oganyan: Q♦Q♣ All in
David Mcgowan: K♥K♣

It was a sorry situation for Oganyan, at risk and a long way behind.

The deck offered no help, the board running out 3♠5♠2♠3♣6♣, and Oganyan headed to the exit.

Ian O'Hara open-shoved all-in for 1,285,000 and got called by Dylan Linde in the big blind taking them to showdown.

Ian O'Hara : K♣J♠ All in
Dylan Linde: A♠7♥

Linde was ahead with ace-high and improved when he hit the flop of 2♠7♣5♠. O'Hara needed one of his cards to come out but neither a king or a jack came out on the runout 3♥9♣. O'Hara left the table as Linde scooped the pot for a much-needed boost.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

[Removed:510], in late position, was taking his time to act preflop and decided to bet 780,000 leaving two 25,000-chips behind. With action folded to the big blind, Mark Darner shoved all-in. Trofimov threw in his last 50,000 for a showdown.

[Removed:510]: J♦9♦ All in
Mark Darner: 7♥7♦

Darner's sevens held on the flop 2♠6♠K♦. Trofimov waited for the dealer to complete the board in case a change in fortune happened.

But the turn A♠ and river 5♦ fell without helping him improve. The dealer shipped the chips towards Darner's direction as Trofimov wished everyone good luck.
