Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Sean Cronin was in the unfortunate situation of having to commit his stack in because of the big blind and ante. Cronin was left with 1,700,000, so he was all-in before the hand was dealt.

Edwin Chang chose to raise it to 2,200,000 from middle position, and was called by Arthur Morris.

Chang and Morris checked all the way down on the 4♠7♥8♥6♠J♠ board.

Cronin showed Q♣9♣, but it was no good as Morris tabled A♣4♣ for a pair of fours, which was good enough to take down the pot. Cronin earned $22,314 for his finish.

Nick Becker

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Tony Harrison open shoved in the cutoff for 11,300,000 and Robbie Schiffbauer made the call in the big blind with the covering stack.

Tony Harrison: A♠Q♠ All in
Robbie Schiffbauer: K♥K♦

The flop came 6♥9♥7♣ with Schiffbauer still out in the lead. The 10♠ landed on the turn and only an ace on the river would save Harrison.

The river was exactly that, the A♥, prompting Harrison's rail to erupt in celebration as he scored the dramatic double up.

Siarhei Chudapal Eliminated in 10th Place ($17,541)

Myles Phago

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Action was folded around to Siarhei Chudapal, who made up from the small blind, and Edwin Chang checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 5♦K♠8♦ and Chudapal pushed his last 2,260,000 into the middle, which sent Chang into the tank for three to four minutes, and he eventually made the call.

Siarhei Chudapal: 9♦8♠ All in
Edwin Chang: 5♠7♥

Chudapal was on course for a double up and the 10♦ on the turn didn't change matters. However, the 5♣ peeling off on the river certainly did as it gave Chang trips to send Chudapal to the rail in tenth spot as the official final table bubble boy.

Arthur Morris raised to 2,000,000 preflop from the hijack and got called by Tony Harrison in the big blind.

The flop fanned out 3♥K♥4♥, and Harrison checked before Morris continued for 2,000,000. Harrison quickly folded as Morris chipped up at the final table.

Arthur Morris	29,500,000 6,950,000	6,950,000

Cronin Still Alive

Nick Becker

Level 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Sean Cronin moved all in for 1,100,000 from under the gun and Arthur Morris called in the big blind.

Sean Cronin: K♦10♣ All in
Arthur Morris: 8♣5♣

The flop came 3♦10♦K♣ with Cronin improving to two pair, kings and tens. Cronin wasn't out of the woods yet, as the A♣ landed on the turn giving Morris a flush draw.

The A♠ river was a brick for Cronin and he secured the much needed double up.

Erick Torres

Level 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Sean Cronin jammed from early position for 7,500,000 and was called for less by Tony Harrison in the hijack for 6,400,000.

Tony Harrison: 8♥8♣ All in
Sean Cronin: A♣K♠

Harrison was immediately elated when the 8♠7♠2♦ flop came, which gave him a set. The 2♠ turn ended the hand as it improved Harrison to a full house as the immaterial 7♣ hit the river to upgrade his full house once again.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tony Harrison	12,800,000 5,725,000	5,725,000
Sean Cronin	1,100,000 6,400,000	6,400,000
