Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

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.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

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♠ All in
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.

Ho's Kings Hold

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.
