Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Biao Ding opened the cutoff and Isaac Haxton defending his big blind.

On the A♥J♦6♠ flop, Ding continued for 90,000 and Haxton put in the call.

Ding sized up to 325,000 on the K♣ turn but Haxton was a non-believer as he called once again.

On the 6♣ river, Haxton checked for a third time to Ding who did not take long before he announced all-in with the covering stack. Haxton gave it a small think before he shrugged as tossed in the call for his remaining 1,225,000.

Isaac Haxton: A♦5♦ All in
Biao Ding: Q♠10♥

Ding turned the nut straight as Haxton called down with top pair and his day was cut short.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised it up from middle position and Danny Tang called from the big blind. The flop came 8♦7♥4♦ and Tang check-called a bet of 165,000 from Foxen.

The turn brought the 3♣ and Tang checked again. Foxen just ripped all in and Tang looked bamboozled as he leaned back in his chair.

"I'm not slow-rolling you, but it's a $250k," Tang said as he threw in all of his time banks. After burning through four of them, Tang finally threw his cards into the muck.

Foxen threw his cards across the table, letting Tang look at one of them.

"I'm not that mad about it. You probably have lots of outs," Tang commented before departing the table for a new one.

Alex Foxen	2,350,000 425,000	425,000

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 325,000 from the next seat. Negreanu four-bet jammed a stack of around 1,700,000 and Badziakouski called.

Daniel Negreanu: A♦A♣ All in
Mikita Badziakouski: A♥Q♥

The flop of 5♠J♦3♠ was no help to Badziakouski but the 10♥ turn kept things interesting as he picked up Broadway outs. But the river bricked off the 6♥ as Negreanu doubled up with aces.

Daniel Negreanu	3,500,000 1,880,000	1,880,000

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 120,000 from middle position before Danny Tang three-bet to 250,000 from the cutoff.

Both players checked a board of 9♠10♥8♥5♣J♥ all the way down, and Kabhrel turned over K♠J♣ for a rivered pair of jacks. Tang mucked, and Kabrhel won the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised it up from the cutoff and Leonard Maue three-bet out of the small blind. Petrangelo called and they went heads-up to a flop of K♥J♦7♣ with around 500,000 in the middle. Maue led out with a bet of 265,000 and Petrangelo called.

The turn was the 4♣ and Maue fired out another bet of 400,000. Petrangelo shipped all in as the bigger stack and Maue eventually called off his stack of around 1,200,000.

Petrangelo flipped over K♦Q♠ for top pair and had Maue drawing to just a single out with Q♥Q♦. The 8♠ hit the river and Maue was eliminated, sending his chips over to Petrangelo.

"It doesn't get much better than that," Petrangelo said moments later.

Sean Winter raised to 125,000 from early position, leaving just 5,000 behind. Ben Tollerene three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Winter, he called for his last chip.

Sean Winter: 10♥8♥ All in
Ben Tollerene: Q♣9♣

Tollerene's queen-high would remain good on the 9♥K♥K♠K♦2♠ runout, sending Winter out of the door.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Danny Tang opened from early position and Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 275,000 from middle position. Tang called.

Both players checked on the 7♠9♣4♠ flop and again on the Q♠ turn. Tang then bet 525,000 on the 7♣ river with just 15,000 behind. Jaffe raised all in and Tang folded to be forced all in the next hand with a fraction of a big blind as Nick Schulman raised.

Danny Tang: Q♦2♠ All in
Nick Schulman: 9♠7♠

Schulman took the lead on the flop of 6♥10♣7♥ and nothing changed on the 3♥2♥ runout to mark Tang's elimination.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alex Kulev raised to 120,000 in the cutoff and Leon Sturm just called on the button. Phil Ivey was in the big blind and ripped all in for 970,000. Kulev quickly folded but Sturm opted to call.

Phil Ivey: A♦5♠ All in
Leon Sturm: A♥10♦

Ivey was in an uphill battle but the flop of 7♦5♥3♠ gave Ivey a pair of fives and the lead. The 8♥ on the turn and the 3♥ on the river were save for Ivey who scored a double up, leaving Sturm on the short stack.

Phil Ivey	2,150,000 1,050,000	1,050,000

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Alex Foxen called on the button. In the small blind, Jesse Lonis three-bet to 650,000 and only Petrangelo called.

On the J♥9♠2♥ flop, Lonis continued for 525,000 and Petrangelo put in the call.

The 3♠ turn slowly checked through before the 7♥ river quickly checked through. Lonis tabled Q♠Q♦ for the winner to drag another pot.
