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

Zhen Chen shoved the button and Michael Ruane called off his stack of around 9,600,000 from the small blind.

Michael Ruane: A♣K♠ All in
Zhen Chen: A♠7♦

Ruane had the better kicker and managed to double up as he paired his king on the 10♣4♠9♠2♣K♥ runout.

Not long after, there was an open before Ruane three-bet to around 4,000,000 from the small blind. Bryan Allen shoved from the big blind for 8,700,000, and when it got back to Ruane, he called.

Bryan Allen: A♠K♦ All in
Michael Ruane: A♣J♠

Allen's Big Slick managed to hold up as the runout came 9♥7♠6♠K♠J♥, earning him a double-up.

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.

Michael Ruane	30,000,000 18,000,000	18,000,000
James Gauley	19,000,000 3,500,000	3,500,000

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

James Gauley opened for 1,700,000 from late position and got an all-in shove from Ashish Gupta in cutoff. With action back to him, Gauley called taking them to showdown.

Ashish Gupta: A♥K♣ All in
James Gauley: K♦K♠

Gauley's kings held through the board of 6♥10♥6♠3♠ but the tide changed when the A♠ fell on the river. Gauley disappointed quipped, "Someone's having a bad day."

Gauley just quietly looked on as the huge pot was pushed towards Gupta's direction

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.

Jeremy Dan opened from under the gun to 2,000,000 and Mykhailo Zherebchenko called out of the big blind.

On the 4♠4♣2♣ flop, Zherebchenko checked, Dan bet 1,500,000, and Zherebchenko called.

A 10♦ hit the turn and again Zherebchenko tapped the table, then Dan fired out 2,700,000. After some consideration, Zherebchenko folded.

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.

[Removed:548]	33,500,000 1,500,000	1,500,000

Kai Cocklin

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

Daniel Lei opened to 2,000,000 from middle position and David Uvaydov shoved 3,400,000 in from the hijack. When it got back to Lei, he flicked in the extra chips.

David Uvaydov: 2♣2♦ All in
Daniel Lei: K♥J♥

Uvaydov was flipping for his tournament life with the Ducks, and they worked their magic as the 3♠Q♣7♦7♣8♣ runout kept him in front and earned the double-up.
