Gregory Pearson Eliminated in 12th Place ($20,693)

Jacob Wilson

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Joseph Roh raised to 700,000 on the button, and without too much thought, Gregory Pearson shoved from the big blind. Roh snapped him off, but was far behind.

Gregory Pearson: A♣Q♦ All in
Joseph Roh: K♦Q♣

Pearson went home in the most brutal manner possible, as he was three-outed on the river of 9♦7♠3♦9♥K♠ just missing out on a pay jump, and catapulting Roh into the table's chip lead.

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Wei Chen moved his last 850,000 in from under the gun and Sebastiaan de Jonge called in the big blind.

Wei Chen: 9♦8♥ All in
Sebastiaan de Jonge: A♠7♥

"I have live cards," said Chen, and he found one of them on the 10♠7♣9♥ flop to take the lead. A 2♦ on the turn put him one step closer to survival, but the 7♦ on the river gave De Jonge trips, which meant Chen hit the rail.

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Ignacio Sagra in the hijack, who opened to 800,000. Both Gary Friedlander and Joseph Roh made the call, from the button and big blind, respectively.

On a flop of 5♣A♦3♦ Sagra opted for a continuation bet of 950,000 when checked to by Roh. Friedlander got out of the way, before Roh put in the check-raise to a size of 2,800,000. Sagra tanked for a while, before eventually mucking.

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Action folded to Gary Friedlander in the cutoff, and he raised to 1,000,000. The action then folded to Joseph Roh in the small blind, who put in a three-bet to 2,600,000. Friedlander called, and the players went to a flop.

The dealer revealed a flop of A♥4♠7♣, which prompted Roh to continue betting, this time for 1,500,000. Friedlander responded by moving all in, which Roh swiftly called.

Gary Friedlander: A♦J♠ All in
Joseph Roh: A♣K♦

Friedlander was at risk and in need of help.

The turn A♠ gave him some opportunities to split the pot, but the river 9♥ sealed his fate.

As he received applause from the growing rail, he headed towards the exit.

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Ignacio Sagra looked down at his cards from late position, before open shoving for 3,000,000 on the dot. He received one customer, in big stack Joseph Roh.

Ignacio Sagra: 10♦10♣ All in
Joseph Roh: 9♦9♠

Players around the table noted that they had folded the two remaining tens, however Roh was unable to find the nine he needed on the 2♠5♣7♠J♣A♠ runout. Sagra more than doubled, as "Vamos!" cheers were heard from the rail.

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Kelley Slay only had a stack of 525,000 before limping in for 500,000. Srivinay Irrinki, in the small blind, completed, and Xia Wang checked in the big blind.

The players checked down on the 2♠9♥5♥A♥6♦ board, and Irrinki tabled J♦6♥ for a rivered pair of sixes. The other two players mucked, awarding Irrinki the pot, but crucially leaving Slay with just 25,000, or five per cent of a big blind.

Srivinay Irrinki	10,525,000 1,250,000	1,250,000

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

With only a single chip remaining, Kelley Slay put himself all in from late position for just 25,000. Srivinay Irrinki then raised to 1,000,000 from the cutoff, and Joseph Roh made the call from the small blind.

On a flop of K♦8♣6♦ Irrinki put out a continuation-bet of 700,000 when checked to. Roh, yet again, check-raised to 2,300,000, only to be met by a shove from Irrinki for 9,525,000 total. Roh tanked for a while, before eventually making the fold.

Kelley Slay: K♥Q♥ All in
Srivinay Irrinki: K♠6♠

Irrinki had flopped two pair, and boated up on the 4♦6♣ runout to send Slay home.
