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.

James Gauley	19,000,000 3,500,000	3,500,000

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.

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.

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

[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

Jeremy Dan raised from early position to 2,000,000 and was called by Kenja Wiseman in the big blind.

The Q♠ river was followed by two checks.

On the 10♦ river, Wiseman bet 2,500,000 and Dan went all-in for the 9,000,000 chips left in Wiseman's stack. He made the call and was shown A♣J♥ for rivered broadway.

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Linyang Song open-shoved on the button for 13,200,000 and got a caller in the man to his left, small blind Ivan Ruban.

Linyang Song: A♦K♣ All in
Ivan Ruban: 7♠7♣

Ruban's sevens stood firm on the flop of 9♣8♠J♦. He continued his lead with the 6♦ turn and also got some outs to improve with an open-ended straight draw. Song's only hope was to hit one of his over cards on the final street.

But Ruban improved further when his draw was completed with the 5♣ river making Song's elimination a certainty.

[Removed:548] opened for 2,400,000 under the gun. Michael Ruane, to his left, pushed 16,400,000 chips leaving behind 100,000 behind.

Action was folded all the way to the small blind, Mykhailo Zherebchenko, who after a count, announced all-in after. [Removed:549] folded, then Ruane tossed in his last 100,000 chip in for a showdown.

Michael Ruane: A♣K♣ All in
Mykhailo Zherebchenko: Q♥Q♦

The queens faded any ace or king on the board 8♦J♦3♣7♠4♣ ending Ruane's run so close to the final table.
