Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
The back-and-forth between Chris Moorman in the cutoff and James Carroll in the small blind went to a five-bet all-in from Carroll, before Moorman called, putting all of his chips in the pot.
In one of the biggest hands in the tournament thus far, Moorman was at risk with each player having more than 5 million in chips at stake.
Chris Moorman: A♣K♣
James Carroll: A♠A♦
The flop of 6♣Q♣10♠ gave Moorman hope with the nut flush draw, but the turn and river 4♥3♦ were inconsequential, sending him home.
Carroll moved into second place in the overall chip count with the huge win.

Trung Pham raised to 280,000 in late position and Carl Carodenuto went all in for just over 2,000,000. Pham slammed a call in.
Carl Carodenuto: A♣7♣
Trung Pham: J♠J♦
Carodenuto was drawing thin when the J♣10♦9♠ hit the felt. He picked up some more outs when the 5♣ fell but it wasn't meant to be when the 6♦ completed the board.
Pham reached across the table and extended a fist bump to Carodenuto who accepted it as he nodded his head, coming to terms with the end of his run.
"You think I was supposed to go with that one? I don't really know how you play..."
Pham assured him it was strategically sound.
"Well, I guess it was a pretty good run...."
Eventually the floor let Carodenuto know he was good to go collect his prize money any time before July 26th and off he went.

Adam Hendrix opened to 220,000 from the cutoff and Lewis Spencer moved 555,000 chips, the majority of his stack in the middle, leaving only 2 chips behind worth 10,000 as players were on a pay jump.
Hendrix moved all in, forcing Spencer into a tank. After around 30 seconds "payout" was called at another table and Spencer moved his final 10,000 into the pot to call.
Lewis Spencer: A♠K♥
Adam Hendrix: A♣A♦
Hendrix held on the Q♠6♠3♦5♣8♣ runout, and spencer was eliminated from the tournament with around 70 players remaining.

Nicholas Seward went all in from middle position for roughly 1,500,000, facing Anthony Potis in late position, who had about 1,100,000 and was at risk.
Anthony Potis: A♣Q♠
Nicholas Seward: 9♠9♥
The dealer ran out a board of J♣K♥4♠9♦2♥, sending Potis to the rail and giving Seward’s stack a healthy boost. Seward, who won WSOP Event #31 in 2024, is now aiming to add a second gold bracelet to his collection.

Mark Wagstaff raised to 350,000 from late position, Josh Reichard then moved all in from the button. Action folded back around to Wagstaff, who took his time in hopes that another player would be eliminated before he committed his chips to the middle. He eventually made the call and was in great shape to double up.
Mark Wagstaff: K♣K♦
Josh Reichard: A♦J♠
The dealer ran out a board of 9♠5♦9♣8♦3♥, securing a much-needed double-up for Wagstaff.

Yuan Yu raised to 400,000 from late position, Jesus Ortiz Calderon called on the button. Nicholas Seward then moved all in for roughly 1,600,000 from the small blind and was at risk. Yu re-raised to about 2,800,000, prompting Calderon to fold.
Nicholas Seward: A♠K♠
Yuan Yu: A♦J♥
Things looked good for Seward on the K♥6♥10♠ flop. The 10♥ on the turn gave Yu some additional outs, and the 2♥ on the river was a stunner that sent Seward to the payout desk.
Level 31

Adam Hendrix opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Atanas Kodinov three-bet to 1,100,000. Hendrix four-bet jammed for his remaining 2,000,000 and Kodinov called.
Adam Hendrix: A♠Q♥
Atanas Kodinov: K♥K♠
Hendrix needed to pick up and he found a queen on the Q♠2♥4♥ flop but it wasn't enough.
The J♠ turn and 6♥ river didn't bring any more luck and he was eliminated from the tournament in the last level of the day.
