Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

David Williams got his last 35,000 into the middle on a flop of A♦4♦9♣, with Ryan Conrad making the call to try and bust him.

David Williams: K♦J♦7♦5♦3♣ All in
Ryan Conrad: A♠9♠7♠5♠2♦

Williams had a flush draw and straight draw against Conrad's top two pair. The 4♣ turn and 7♣ river didn't improve Williams to the winner as Conrad scooped holding two pair for the high, and a better seven-five low.

Williams immediately reentered and is now seated with a fresh stack of 60,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ryan Conrad	130,000 36,500	36,500

Four players saw a flop of 9♣7♥4♦ when Jonathan Glendinning moved all in for 28,000 from the hijack. Matthew Woodward folded in the cutoff, as did Maksim Pisarenko in middle position, but Dan Heimiller in the big blind called to put Glendinning at risk.

Jonathan Glendinning: A♠10♣8♦3♥2♣ All in
Dan Heimiller: A♣Q♦10♦6♥2♠

The board ran out K♦5♠ and Heimiller began to chop up the pot before the rest of the table informed him he had won the high with his ace, queen-kicker.

"He has no pair?" Heimiller asked, as he instead took three-quarters.

Matthew Woodward	500,000 77,500	77,500

Three players saw the flop come down 8♦A♣K♠. Matt Livingston checked from the small blind and Nick Guagenti bet 12,500 from middle position. Paul Volpe folded from the hijack, but Livingston raised to put Guagenti all in for his last 50,000. Guagenti quickly called and the cards were revealed.

Nick Guagenti: A♦Q♦7♠3♠2♥ All in
Matt Livingston: K♦K♥J♥7♦5♥

Guagenti's top pair was behind Livingston's set, but Guagenti did have a low draw working for him. However, the rest of the board came 9♥Q♠, and Guagenti was out.

The board ran out 3♦Q♥ and Chen finished with two pair and a low to scoop the pot and send Hellmuth to the rail.

"If he's going to give me chips all day, I want back at this table," Hellmuth said as he immediately went to reenter.

"Do it now. There's a seat open," tablemate Ray Fishman added.

On a flop of Q♣2♥9♣, Justin Liberto bet 13,000 from the big blind and Cary Katz called from under the gun. George Abdallah called from the next seat, before Adrian Buckley jammed for 42,500 from the button. Liberto shoved for around 110,000, which got Katz to fold, but Abdallah called for his remaining 29,000.

George Abdallah: K♦J♥J♠10♦9♥ All in
Adrian Buckley: A♣Q♦J♣6♠3♥ All in
Justin Liberto: Q♠J♦10♠9♦6♣

Buckley managed to scoop the pot after the rest of the board ran out 5♥7♣, improving Buckley to the nut-nut. Buckley tripled up, while Abdallah headed to the rail.
