[Removed:548] raised the button and Santiago Montes shoved from the small blind for just over 20,000,000. When it got back to [Removed:549], he snap-called with a slightly bigger stack.

Santiago Montes: 6♦6♣ All in
[Removed:548]: A♣A♦

[Removed:549] had the bullets and needed them to hold to double up. Montes was seeking a six, but couldn't find it as the K♦9♣7♥A♠4♦ runout meant he was out in 20th.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Antonius Samuel shoved for around 5,000,000 from under the gun and Linyang Song also moved all in for 9,500,000 in middle position. [Removed:548] was in the small blind and also shoved, which left two players at risk.

Antonius Samuel: A♦6♣ All in
Linyang Song: J♠J♦ All in
[Removed:548]: A♥K♠

[Removed:549] had an opportunity to take out two players in one go, but the 3♥10♦8♦ flop kept the pocket jacks of Song in the lead. A 10♠ on the turn left Samuel drawing dead, and the 4♦ river meant Song more than doubled up, as Samuel hit the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
[Removed:548]	33,500,000 1,500,000	1,500,000

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Michael Ruane raised to 1,800,000 from the cutoff and James Gauley shoved his 2,000,000 into the middle from the small blind. Dylan Linde was in the big blind and put in a three-bet to around 6,500,000, which got Ruane to quickly fold.

James Gauley: J♠8♠ All in
Dylan Linde: A♦K♥

Gauley had live cards to work with, but the flop of 5♦3♠7♦ didn't connect with his hand. A 10♦ on the turn did add a gutshot, but the 4♦ river was no good, which meant he was out in 22nd.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dylan Linde	32,000,000 4,000,000	4,000,000

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Zhen Chen shoved the hijack for 4,200,000 and Michael Ruane moved all in from the cutoff for 12,100,000. James Gauley was in the small blind and after thinking for around two minutes, he made the call.

Zhen Chen: A♦2♣ All in
Michael Ruane: A♣J♦ All in
James Gauley: J♠J♣

Gauley had a great opportunity to eliminate two players and surge up the counts, but the A♥4♠9♦ flop put Ruane in the driver's seat. The 10♠10♥ runout didn't change anything, which meant Ruane more than doubled up, and Chen was left on the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Ruane	30,000,000 18,000,000	18,000,000
James Gauley	19,000,000 3,500,000	3,500,000

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Sergio Da Silva Veloso opened under the gun for 1,200,000 and got a caller in small blind James Leonard. The flop came 5♦9♥4♣.

Leonard check-called Veloso's bet of 1,750,000. On the turn 3♠, Leonard checked once again. Veloso took his time to think of what his move will be. He decided to go all-in for 6,300,000. Leonard snap-called.

Sergio Da Silva Veloso: 9♦8♦ All in
James Leonard: 5♠5♥

Leonard caught a set on the flop which Veloso's top pair couldn't beat. The river 6♣ was a formality. Veloso's deep run ended as Leonard scooped the pot.

Santiago Montes open-shoved for 5,700,00 in hijack and got another all-in announcement from the man on his left, Sergei Petrushevskii, who was covered. After action folded around, the two headed to showdown.

Sergei Petrushevskii; A♠Q♦ All in
Santiago Montes: K♣J♠

Montes spiked a pair on the 6♦K♥9♣ flop making Petrushevskii prepare for his exit. The runout 10♥9♠ sealed Petrushevskii's fate and he left as the dealer pushed the chips towards Montes' direction.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

[Removed:548] opened for 1,200,000 under the gun. With action folded to the button, Carlos Saez Martinez mulled over his situation and decided to put in 6,000,000 leaving 50,000 behind.

With action back to him, [Removed:549] announced all-in sending Martinez to the tank. Martinez took considerable time prompting [Removed:549] to call for the clock and complain to the floor that Martinez always took so much time to act.

After the 30 second warning, Martinez threw in the last 50,000 for a call.

Carlos Saez Martinez: K♥Q♠ All in
[Removed:548]: A♣J♠

The board ran 2♥2♣3♠8♥9♣ with no one hitting the board. [Removed:549] won the pot with ace-high sending Martinez to the payout counter.
