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

Stephen Song raised the button and Jonah Fliegelman called from the big blind.

The flop came 3♦10♦3♠ and Fliegelman check-shoved around 700,000, and Song made the call.

Jonah Fliegelman: K♦9♦ All in
Stephen Song: A♣Q♣

Fliegelman had a flush draw and two live cards, but couldn't make it count as the 7♥6♥ runout kept the ace-high of Song in the lead.

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

Adam Ajudhia made it 250,000 from early position and Ching Da Wu three-bet to 550,000 on the button. William Kopp was in the small blind and four-bet shoved for 790,000. Ajudhia quickly folded, and Wu put in the extra.

William Kopp: A♠Q♥ All in
Ching Da Wu: A♥J♠

Kopp had the best of it preflop and improved to middle pair on the K♣9♦Q♦ flop. Wu did have a gutshot, but couldn't find it as the 8♦J♣ runout meant Kopp more than doubled his stack.

Adam Ajudhia	3,800,000 200,000	200,000

For Those Who Wish to Sing

Jerome Solomon

Level 30 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Apparently we have reached the point in the tournament where players are in the mood to sing.

First up was, Geoffrey Coatar, who went all in on the river with a board of 5♠J♠8♦6♥10♣. While Adam Hall considered a call that would put him all in, Coatar began a medley of simple riffs while suggesting that Hall should fold.

"All up in your neighborhood," Coatar sang with a high-pitched soprano-ish wail.

Seconds after Hall folded to quiet Coatar for the time being, one table over, Duncan Horst belted out a stirring rendition of "God Bless America."

The appropriately attired Horst, sporting a U.S. Flag-colored sweatsuit, received an ovation from the crowd.

Geoffrey Coatar	4,280,000 1,080,000	1,080,000

Level 30 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Shawn Buchanan opened the button and Vuong Do shoved the big blind for around 1,400,000. Buchanan called.

Vuong Do: K♦10♣ All in
Shawn Buchanan: A♣Q♦

Do needed to play catch up, but it seemed a longshot after the 9♥Q♣A♥ flop gave Buchanan two pair. A jack is what Do needed, but the 2♦8♣ runout was of no help, and he was eliminated.
