Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Brian James opened to 175,000 and got called by Andrew Murphy in the big blind.

The flop came 4♦J♣K♣. Murphy checked and James bet 100,000. Murphy shoved all-in for 1,120,000. James snap called putting Murphy at risk.

Andrew Murphy: Q♣10♦ All in
Brian James: A♥K♦

Murphy had an open-ended straight draw but James already had a made hand with a pair of kings. The runout 4♥J♠ didn't improve Murphy's hand at all.

The dealer pushed the chips towards James direction as Murphy went off to get his payday for a 19th place finish.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Lester Edoc raised to 125,000 and Dennys Ramos called in late position. Tom Steinbach responded with an all in for 745,000 and Edoc mucked. Ramos considered his options but eventually put in the call.

Tom Steinbach: A♠Q♥ All in
Lester Edoc: A♥9♥

The flop wasn't kind to Steinbach as it scrolled across 6♥8♣9♠ and when the board completed with the K♦ and 7♦, all Steinbach could say was, "You couldn't just muck it one time, huh, mate?". before leaving the tournament area.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dennys Ramos	4,550,000 1,410,000	1,410,000
Lester Edoc	1,355,000 605,000	605,000

During a battle of the blinds, Dennys Ramos raised from the small blind with enough to put David Cabrera Polop all-in for 540,000. Polop made the call, and the board would reveal the winner.

David Cabrera Polop: K♠J♦ All in
Dennys Ramos: A♠Q♦

The board did not bring anything to either player with 2♦7♠4♦8♣10♠, and Ramos's ace high was golden.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Benjamin Williams shoved all-in in the small blind and got called by Alex James in big, putting William's tournament life in jeopardy.

Benjamin Williams: A♠5♥ All in
Alex James: A♥J♠

James had Williams dominated and with no one hitting the 3♦7♠8♥K♦10♦ board, James won the hand with ace-high. Williams was sent off the tournament to enjoy Vegas under a strawberry full moon.
