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.

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

Mario Colavita was involved in two all-in situations in a short space of time.

First, Remy Murcia opened to 1,600,000 on the hijack and Colavita shoved 9,700,000 on the button. After the blinds folded, Murcia called.

Mario Colavita: 9♦9♥ All in
Remy Murcia: A♥9♣

Colavita had the best of it, and his pocket pair held up as the dealer put out a board of 5♣Q♥2♠2♥5♣.

Two hands later, Colavita raised the button to 1,600,000 and David Yonnotti shoved for 8,600,000 out of the small blind. Colavita called.

David Yonnotti: 2♣2♠ All in
Mario Colavita: A♣7♣

Yonnotti had the ducks and found a third on the Q♥2♦Q♣ flop to make a full house. It was a long way back for Colavita, and the 9♣ turn left him drawing dead, with the 3♦ hitting the river.

David Yonnotti	19,000,000 6,000,000	6,000,000

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

Daniel Lei opened for 1,600,000 in cutoff and got an all-in reply from small blind Keith Temm. Lei called taking them to showdown.

Keith Temm: A♣K♠ All in
Daniel Lei : A♦10♥

The flop came 3♠5♣10♣ giving Lei a pair and evoking a groan of despair from Temm. Disheartened, he started fixing his things when the 6♣ turn fell.

Almost ready to leave, Temm called a club to come out and, as if heard by the pwoers that be, the 2♣ fell on the river giving him a one-card flush with his ace.
