Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ruoxiao Shi raised under the gun to 240,000, and when action folded to Allan Le, he put in a three-bet to 550,000.

The action returned to Shi, and after a little bit of deliberation, he returned his cards to the dealer.

Le pulled in another pot and moved to the top of the leaderboard for his table.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Allan Le shoved in the cutoff for 850,000 and Elias Kolsun called all in for a stack around 600,000 on the button:

Elias Kolsun: 5♦5♣ All in
Allan Le: A♠10♦

Kolsun had good hopes for a double up as the board first fell 6♣Q♥K♦4♠ but a 10♥ hit the river to give a pair of tens to Le and Kolsun made his way to the exit.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

George Wolff open-jammed all-in for 590,000 on the button. He got one caller in big blind Franco Tucci putting Wolff's tournament life at risk.

George Wolff: A♥2♥ All in
Franco Tucci: Q♦J♦

The flop dropped 2♠A♠10♦ which gave Wolff two pair. Tucci still had a chance to turn things around with a gutshot straight draw but that didn't happen.

The dealer completed the board with a 5♣ turn and a J♥ river. With no change to the situation, Wolff took the pot down for a double.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Following a raise to 275,000 from Tanupat Punjarojanakul in the hijack, Darren Hill opted to shove his remaining 1,750,000 into the middle from the button. Gary Friedlander called to put himself at risk from the small blind, and after a long tank, Punjarojanakul said, "If you both have ace-king, I'm gonna be so tilted," as he folded 10♥10♦ face up.

Gary Friedlander: 10♠10♣ All in
Darren Hill: A♠K♠

"Well, I can't make a set," said Friedlander as he showed the other two tens, but it wouldn't matter as the 7♦8♦J♥4♣2♣ runout gave him the double up, leaving Hill on fumes.
