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

Boris Kolev raised to 150,000 preflop and Dennys Ramos raised again to 540,000. Justin Young woke up in the blind, going all in for 2,100,000. Kolev folded and Ramos made the call.

Justin Young: Q♣Q♦ All in
Dennys Ramos: A♠A♥

Quite the cooler, Young was already pushing his chips forward while the 7♦6♥7♣2♦9♥ rolled off the deck. The table made comment that Ramos has been on a tremendous heater as he skyrocketed to the chip lead.

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

In middle position, Brian James opened to 135,000 and got two callers in Anatoly Nikitin on the button and Lester Edoc in the big blind.

The flop came 8♦4♣2♠. Both Edoc and James checked to Nikitin, who fired 125,000. Edoc took a few seconds before announcing all-in. James folded but Nikitin made the call.

Lester Edoc: 6♠4♠ All in
Anatoly Nikitin: K♠8♠

Edoc made mid-pair against Nikitin's top pair. The runout of 2♥10♥ didn't change the situation. Edoc left the floor as Nikitin fixed his growing stack.

In a battle of the blinds, Daniel Maor moved all in for his last 450,000, and Anatoly Nikitin called from the big blind.

Daniel Maor: J♥10♠ All in
Anatoly Nikitin: Q♦10♦

The board fell out with 6♦3♠6♣5♦9♠, and queen high with a pair of sixes was enough for Nikitin to knock out another player.

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.

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

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.
