Christopher Doan raised the pot with a 30,000 bet on the button. Big Blind player Ap Garza called to see what the flop may bring.
The flop brought J♦9♠5♣. After a check, Doan kept the pressure with 20,000. Garza decided to stay on to see the next street.
The turn 3♦, relentless, Doan increased the pressure further with a 45,000 which was enough to make Garza fold.
Alan Gilmore opened for 30,000, and Christian Hanschirik, to his immediate left, three-bet to 100,000. Gilmore then shoved all in. Hanschirik called putting Gilmore in a precarious situation.
Alan Gilmore: A♥K♠
Christian Hanschirik: 10♦10♠
All Gilmore needed was for his over cards to hit. But the board ran 5♠3♠3♦9♥7♥. Gilmore left the table while Hanschirik was adding the chips to his stack.
Igal Prives moved all in for 228,000 chips over Michael Lindgren's preflop raise. Lindgren's subsequent call put Prives' tournament life at risk.
Igal Prives: K♠K♥
Michael Lindgren: A♣K♦
The flop shifted the hand to Lindgren and the full runout Q♠9♣A♠2♦8♥ didn't change that.
Level: 19
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Aleks Dimitrov went all in from middle position, and got a call from Tianle Wang in the big blind.
Aleks Dimitrov: 10♣9♣
Tianle Wang: A♠10♥
Dimitrov looked good on the flop, but on the full runout of 7♠9♦K♠Q♥J♥, Wang hit a gutshot straight on the river to knock him out.
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♥
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.
