Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Asi Moshe opened to 20,000 in late position and got a three-bet from Nathaniel Silver in the hijack to 50,000. Baoqiang Ho in big blind four-bet to 155,000 pushing Moshe out of the pot. Silver five-bet all-in for around 500,000 and Ho snap-called putting Silver's tournament life on the line.

Nathaniel Silver: A♦K♥ All in
Baoqiang Ho: K♠K♣

The dealer fanned out 2♣7♦7♥ maintaining Ho's lead. Silver still had hope to continue his run with an ace on the board. The turn 9♠ didn't change anything and the river J♣ made Silver's elimination a certainty. After verifying that he was covered, Silver left the table to head to the payout counter as Ho happily scooped the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a heads-up pot, the flop read 2♣2♠A♣ when Terry Wheeler checked from the big blind. Daniel Strelitz bet 15,000 and Wheeler raised it to 40,000, which Strelitz called.

On the 9♥ turn, Wheeler check-called for 40,000 and a 10♦ landed on the river. Wheeler checked again and quickly called Strelitz's bet worth 85,000, but mucked A♥8♣ after Strelitz showed A♦Q♠ for the winning hand.
