Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
It was a tragic ending for Paul Heath when he opened to 2,000,000 from the button and faced an all-in from the small blind by Edwin Chang. Heath instantly called and was at risk as the cards went on their backs.
Paul Heath: A♥A♦
Edwin Chang: K♣10♠
Heath was in a dream spot with pocket aces, but his hopes of a double were immediately crushed as the flop came K♥K♠9♠. Heath was drawing to just two outs after the game-changning flop, and the 9♣ turn and the 7♣ river were not one of them to send him to the payout desk with aces cracked.

: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Arthur Morris raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff and Yudai Futai defended in the big blind. The flop of 6♣J♥9♥ went check-check, bringing the 8♣ turn. Futai check-folded when Morris put him all in for about 7,150,000 effective.
The next hand, Morris open-shoved in the hijack, resulting in folds all around.
The hand after thar, Morris raised to 1,500,000 under the gun and was three-bet by Siarhei Chudapal in the hijack to 4,000,000. Morris then four-bet jammed to put Chudapal at risk, who quickly folded.

: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Action folded to Craig Savage on the button, and he moved his 8,250,000 stack into the middle. Mark Evangelista peeked at his cards in the big blind and snap-called, while the small blind stepped aside.
Mark Evangelista: A♦Q♦
Craig Savage: 3♣3♠
The flop fell 2♥Q♠5♥, giving Evangelista top pair. The turn brought the 3♥, turning the tables as Savage made a set. The river 7♦ changed nothing, and Evangelista headed to the rail while Savage dragged a huge pot.

: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Paul Heath raised to 1,550,000 in the cutoff and Ben Fan three-bet shoved in the small blind to put himself at risk. Heath asked for a count and the dealer confirmed that the bet was 5,350,000. Heath decided to make the call.
Ben Fan: A♠10♦
Paul Heath: K♥9♠
Heath was live but was unable to find a king or a nine on the 4♥3♣5♣J♣A♣ runout. Fan's pair of aces secured him the double up.

: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Hai Nguyen moved all in for 9,975,000 from the cutoff, and Arthur Morris didn’t need long in the small blind before jamming over the top. With no one else getting involved, the cards were tabled.
Hai Nguyen: A♣10♣
Arthur Morris: K♦K♥
Morris was hoping to fade an ace, and the 4♦7♦K♠ flop delivered in a big way, giving him top set. The 3♥ turn and 7♥ river changed nothing, and Nguyen was eliminated. Morris, holding just 1,000,000 more than Nguyen, scored a near double to climb up the counts.

Brian Biggs: 3♣3♥
Robbie Schiffbauer: K♥K♣
Schiffbauer had Biggs in big trouble, and the J♠2♠J♥10♥10♦ board did not deliver Biggs any salvation as he was eliminated in 14th place. Biggs won $11,129 for his finish.

Jesse Jones elected to go all in from under the gun for 3,025,000. The table folded around to the small blind of Paul Heath, who went all-in himself for more to push out the big blind and go to a showdown with Jones.
Jesse Jones: A♦8♣
Paul Heath: 10♦10♥
Jones needed some help to stay alive, but the [QsJ9c] flop only put Jones in a bigger hole. The 8♦ turn paired Jones, but it gave Heath a straight. The 7♦ river finished off the hand to eliminate Jones in 15th place.
