They both checked to the 6♦ on the turn. Bal bet 75,000 and Belluscio came along.

The 9♦ completed the board and Bal checked. Belluscio bet 100,000. Bal quickly called.

"Six," Belluscio announced, but Bal tabled the 10♥7♠ for a pair of tens to take the pot.

David Cook raised from under the gun to 125,000 and Samuel Rosborough called in the cutoff. Asher Conniff was on the button and three-bet to 450,000, then when it got back to Cook, he shoved around 1,400,000. Rosborough quickly folded, and Conniff, after getting a rough count, called.

David Cook: Q♥J♥ All in
Asher Conniff: A♣Q♠

Cook was way behind and couldn't find a way to catch up on the 10♣3♦8♣6♥7♣ runout, ending his run in 25th.

Carlos Kinil opened from under the gun to 120,000 and Bryan Frantz moved all in on the button for his remaining 650,000 stack. Zachary Hall called from the small blind and Kinil folded, leaving the players to go heads-up to showdown.

Bryan Frantz: A♣Q♣ All in
Zachary Hall: K♦K♠

Frantz needed to improve. His chances were looking slim on the 6♣7♥2♠ flop.

Nothing changed for Frantz on the J♣ turn or the 6♥ river, and he was eliminated in 24th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action folded around to Kuowei Kao in the small blind, who shoved his stack of 895,000 into the middle. Carlos Kinil was in the big blind and contemplated for a while before he called.

Kuowei Kao: A♦3♠ All in
Carlos Kinil: Q♠J♣

Kao's ace-high was good preflop, and he stayed ahead after the 3♦8♥10♦ flop gave him a pair. Kinil had flopped a gutshot and took the lead when the Q♣ on the turn gave him top pair. Kao needed an ace or a three to survive, but the 10♥ on the river wasn't it, meaning he was out in 23rd.

On the 7♦ turn, Ramos led out with a bet of 235,000, and Mesika made the call.

Both players checked the 9♠ river, leading to a showdown. Ramos tabled J♦8♣ for a straight, which was enough for Mesika as his card found the muck.

Michael Rossitto: A♥Q♥ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: J♣10♣

The flop had Madanzhiev drawing thin when it fanned out A♠K♥8♥. The turned 4♠ didn't change anything and the 10♥ on the river improved Rossitto to the nuts, awarding him the pot.
