Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Zachary Grech was involved for the second hand in a row, as he raised up to 20,000 from the cutoff. Robbie Sherre shoved, for just 33,000 in the big blind, and Grech put in the remaining chips.
The players were the last of the seven all-ins to be announced by the floor, Sherre knowing he’d locked up a share of the mincash, and needed to win for a full one.
Robbie Sherre: A♣3♣
Zachary Grech: Q♣J♦
The 3♠5♦Q♦ flop was terrible news for Shere, but the 3♦ turn had him cheering. He still had to fade a queen or a diamond, and did so on the 5♣ river, as he boated up and stayed alive

On the soft bubble, Renji Mao open ripped his stack of 110,000. Small blind Zachary Grech then ripped, covering Ryutaro Suzuki in the big blind. Suzuki then tanked for over four minutes, before folding Q♣Q♥ face up.
Renji Mao: A♥J♦
Zachary Grech: 9♣9♦
The dealer had evil intentions, putting out 8♣Q♠9♥ on the flop, giving Grech a set, and Mao a straight draw. Suzuki looked sick as the board ran out 5♠5♦ as he would've had top boat. Either way, Mao was heading home just before cashing.
