Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Action was joined with roughly 1,500,000 in the pot, and a board showing 9♦3♣10♠2♣.
Victor Lee had moved all in, covering his opponent's stack, and action was on Timothy Shifflet, who was deliberating his options.
Shifflet decided his hand was good enough and made the call.
Timothy Shifflet: J♥9♠ 
Victor Lee: K♣J♣
Lee was caught putting the pressure on with a big combination draw, but Shifflet had sniffed it out and made the call with just second pair.
The river revealed the 8♠, and after a bit of an ordeal trying to count Shifflet's stack, the pot was organised and sent in the direction of Shifflet.

Alexander Savchenko opened from an early position and Cody Whitebear moved all in for around 1,440,000 from middle position. Matthew Naylor was in late position and re-jammed for 2,600,000 and Alexander Savchenko asked for both counts before making the call.
Matthew Naylor: A♦A♣
Cody Whitebear: K♦K♣
Alexander Savchenko: 9♠8♠
The 3♦6♠5♦ flop gave Savchenko a chance with a gunshot straight draw, but missed on the 3♥ turn and J♦ river.
Naylor held the lead and tripled up, with Whitebear taking the side pot.

Timothy Shifflet raised to 500,000 in the cutoff, Richard Buckingham three-bet to 1,500,000 in the small blind, and Victor Lee called in the big blind for about 500,000 to put himself at risk. Shifflet then four-bet jammed for 3,435,000 and Buckingham called with the covering stack.
Victor Lee: Q♦7♦
Timothy Shifflet: K♥K♠
Richard Buckingham: A♦K♠
Shifflet's pair of kings remained best as the board ran out 5♣9♣8♣Q♣5♥ to scoop the main and side pot. Lee was eliminated in the process.

Samuel Butters put in 800,000 from early position, leaving only 50,000 in chips behind. Paul Zanardo called from middle position to send the two to a flop.
Butters checked the Q♦7♦3♦ flop before Zanardo asked for his last 50,000 by sliding two green chips out. Butters tanked until the clock was called on the 50,000 chip call. With just one second remaining on his time, Butters threw in his final two green chips to go to showdown.
Samuel Butters: A♥2♥
Paul Zanardo: A♣Q♠
The J♠ turn and the 8♣ river gave the pot to Zanardo and eliminated Butters from the tournament.

Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Action was followed from the Q♥7♠6♦ flop. David Lee (NY) checked from under the gun and Jaehyun Park checked behind in the cutoff.
The 8♠ turn saw Lee bet 550,000 and Park raise to 1,200,000. Lee moved all in for around 4,200,000 and Park snap called, and was just covered by Lee.
Jaehyun Park: 10♠9♠
David Lee (NY): K♠Q♦
Park had turned the straight, and Lee flopped top pair. There was no hope for Lee, and he was left with just 80,000 when the 4♦ river card came.
Lee was in the big blind in the next hand and forced all in. Park raised to 300,000 and there were no other players in the hand.
David Lee (NY): Q♣9♦
Jaehyun Park: K♣10♣
Lee needed to hit to stay alive, but he bricked on the A♥5♥5♦3♣4♠ runout with very little sweat.

After a player raised to 280,000 in early position, Timothy Shifflet called before seeing Rudy Cervantes, next to act, move all in for 960,000. The original raiser got out of the way, but Schifflet called.
Rudy Cervantes: Q♣Q♦
Timothy Shifflet: 10♣10♦
A great situation for Cervantes got even better when the dealer revealed the Q♠4♦9♠ flop, giving him top set.
The turn 5♦ and river 5♣ improved Cervantes to a full house, and he picked up a pot worth more than a double up.

The board ran out 6♦7♣8♠10♣5♦ and Hendren's pair of jacks remained in the lead all the way to send Guzman packing.
