Ken Takayama limped from middle position. Lucas Kulbe in the cutoff raised all-in for 4,900,000, then Sang Sim on the button shoved with the largest stack of the table. Joseph Butler in the small blind jammed as well for 11,400,000 and he made Takayama fold.

Lucas Kulbe: A♥Q♠ All in
Joseph Butler: A♦K♣ All in
Sang Sim: A♣Q♥

Butler's ace-king held all the way through a board of 7♣4♦4♣8♦K♦ and doubled up while Kulbe was eliminated.

Level 37 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Zachary Zehnder: K♥9♦ All in
Timothy Thorp: A♦J♦

The flop helped Thorp right away as it fanned out A♠Q♣4♦ and while the 9♥ did give Zehnder some outs, the J♥ closed the door on his tournament run.

Mitchell Tsang: 9♥9♦ All in
Manuel Reyes: J♠J♥

The board ran out K♠4♣4♦Q♣8♠ and Reyes collected a pot over 12,000,000 as Tsang left the tournament area.

Nicholas Browning: A♣Q♥ All in
Albert Felarca: A♥K♥

Browning rivered a queen, but Felarca's flopped king on 4♠10♦K♦6♥Q♠ was enough to send him home right before the redraw.

Mitchell Tsang was eliminated simultaneously on another table.

Level 37 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Big blind Samuel Concannon shoved his remaining 11,000,000 following a button open from Daniel Clemente. Clemente snapped him off, sending the two to a runout.

Samuel Concannon: A♥4♥ All in
Daniel Clemente: 10♠10♣

Concannon was drawing to an ace and an ace only the whole way. The 9♠2♥J♣9♣K♥ runout didn't give him what he needed, as headed for the payouts desk.

Alavez Can't Make the Pay Jump; Criscione Climbs Counts

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Claudio Elizalde

Level 36 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Exactly one off another pay jump, Briant Alavez raised to 7,700,000 under the gun, leaving himself just a million behind. Michael Criscione made the call and the rest of the table folded.

The flop scrolled across 10♣4♠9♣ and Alavez took his time with his decision and the either anxious or bored Criscione got out of his seat, looping around his chair until his opponent finally checked, at which point he flicked out a peach million chip to put his opponent all in.

"A chip and a chair!", Criscione said as Alavez took his time before finally making the call.

Briant Alavez: A♠Q♠ All in
Michael Criscione: Q♥J♥

The turn closed the door on Alavez as Criscione made a straight with the K♣, making the A♣ a needle as Alavez exit without unlocking the pay jump.
