Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jeanie Pak open-jammed for 825,000 from middle position. Paul Heath called in the cutoff, after which the action folded to Wesley Cameron in the big blind.

After a couple of minutes in the tank, the clock was called on Cameron. During his countdown, he shoved in his stack of 2,000,000. Heath made the call with the covering stack, and the trio tabled their cards.

Jeanie Pak: A♣Q♥ All in
Wesley Cameron: A♥10♥ All in
Paul Heath: K♦J♦

"A king or a jack," Heath kindly requested. He received both on the 5♣J♣4♣3♥K♠ runout, making him two pair to knock out both opponents.

"Come on! Get in! That's how you do it!" Heath excitedly yelled as Pak and Cameron were the last to leave before the redraw of the final three tables.

Nasty Runout for Pak

Myles Phago

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jeanie Pak limped under the gun only to see Paul Heath move all in from middle position for 2,800,000. This sent Pak into the tank for 2-3 minutes before she eventually made the call.

Paul Heath: A♦J♦ All in
Jeanie Pak: 6♥6♣

It looked like Heath was going to be sent packing by Pak when the flop came 8♥8♦3♣, but then the K♣ fell on the turn and the K♠ on the river to counterfit Pak's small pair, leaving Heath with a better kicker and a full double up.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

After losing a big pot in the previous hand, Massimo De Mario shoved his last 300,000 in from the button after Stephen Hubbard raised to 500,000 in the hijack; nobody else wanted to join the party, and it went to showdown.

Stephen Hubbard: K♦7♥ All in
Massimo De Mario: A♣J♥

The board ran out A♥2♦3♥A♦6♦, giving De Mario trips and a triple-up.

In the next two hands, De Mario also claimed the blinds and ante by shoving all in with no callers, and he was back to 2,400,000.

Hubbard Holds

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Stephen Hubbard raised on the button and Laurent Crochemore three-bet jammed for about 2,800,000 to put himself at risk. Hubbard called.

Laurent Crochemore: A♣9♠ All in
Stephen Hubbard: A♠J♦

Crochemore pulled ahead on the 9♥K♥A♥ flop, improving to two pair, aces and nines. However, Hubbard retook the lead on the J♣ turn for two pair, aces and jacks.

The 6♥ fell on the river and Crochemore's tournament run came to an end.

Myles Phago

Level 32 : 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jonathon Castellanos moved all in for his last 450,000 only to see Arthur Morris move all in over the top. All other players folded.

Jonathon Castellanos: 8♠7♠ All in
Arthur Morris: A♥9♦

The flop came 5♣7♣10♥ and sent Castellanos into the lead which he kept when the 3♥ fell on the turn and then the 3♠ on the ririver for a handy double up to stay alive.
