Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Paul Saso opened for a raise to 12,000 in early position, and Mamad Arani made the call from the big blind.

On the 10♦7♣4♥ flop, Arani checked and Saso bet 15,000. Arani called to see the turn.

The 5♦ came on the turn, and Arani checked again. This time Saso went for a bet of 25,000. Arani called once again.

Then on the 5♣, Arani checked for a third time. Saso then moved all in, and Arani quickly folded.

This hand left Arani with around 85,000, and he busted shortly after.

Jacob Wilson

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On the stone bubble of Event #34: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo Bounty, Jacob Baumgartner got his 76,000 stack all in preflop, and was called only by Ben Miller. The players had to wait for showdown, and once the floor gave them the nod the cards were on their backs.

Jacob Baumgartner: K♠K♦ All in
Ben Miller: 10♣10♦

It was an absolutely brutal runout for Baumgarnter, as Miller flopped a boat on 10♠2♥2♣ and held all the way to the river as the board ran out 6♦7♣ sending Baumgartner home just before making the money. Matthew Stahl was also sent out in the same hand, as the 333 remaining players all lock up a min cash of $1,883 excluding bounties.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Chun-Ting Chu jammed for 50,000 from an early position and got a single call from Paul Saso in a late position.

Chun-Ting Chu: A♦J♣ All in
Paul Saso: 9♠9♦

Chu needed to improve to stay alive but stood from the table after seeing the monotone 3♠2♠10♠ flop.

He grabbed his bag as the 8♠ was turned, as Saso hit the flush.

The dealer placed the A♥ river and quickly passed the chips to Saso, eliminating Chu just after the bubble burst.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vayssieres open shoved 60,000 from under the gun, before Rodrigo Zouvi then shived for 135,000 and Francisco Moreno Gonzales did the same in the small blind, for 219,000. The big blind player made the fold.

Nicolas Vayssieres: A♦Q♠ All in
Rodrigo Zouvi: K♥Q♣ All in
Francisco Moreno Gonzales: A♠K♣

Moreno Gonzales was way out in the lead, even more so due to his opponent's outs being blocked, but that didn't matter as the board ran out 6♥Q♥10♣7♥8♠ leaving Vayssieres to scoop the main pot, tripling up, and Zouvi to take in the side pot, as his chip count stayed almost identical. Gonzales, left with only seven big blinds, ended up busting out just a few hands later.
