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

Samuel Concannon raised to 2,100,000 from early position and Michael Dulberg went all in from the small blind for 9,700,000.

"That's about as bad as it gets for nine bigs," said Concannon who didn't seem to love his decision but eventually pushed forward a call.

Michael Dulberg: K♣K♦ All in
Samuel Concannon: Q♠J♣

The flop improved Dulberg but gave Concannon hope as it came all spades K♠8♠2♠. Concannon called for another spade as the 4♣ fell but the river bricked with the 2♦ and Dulberg celebrated his doubled stack while Concannon was left to suck on his teeth.

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

The action was picked up on a board of 7♣3♠K♥2♥3♣ with 12,000,000 in the pot. Alexandros Kolonias in the small blind bet 5,000,000, but Sang Sim in the big blind raised to 15,000,000.

Colonies went deep into the tank and seemed to change his mind several times. But he eventually folded, saying "nice hand," to Sim?

Jacob Wilson

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

Briant Alavez was the first player to make an aggressive action in the hand, as he raised to 2,000,000 from early position. Action got all the way back around to the small blind Kenny Bedoya, who made the call, and Zachary Zehnder defended his big blind, too.

On a flop of 6♥8♥6♣ Bedoya decided to lead out for 2,500,000. Zehnder shoved, however it was revealed to be simply a call as he had 2,300,000 in his stack. Alavez made the call also. With only 400,000 in the sidepot, action checked through on the Q♥ turn and 2♣ river.

Here, Bedoya quickly mucked without seeing either opponent's cards, relinquishing the side pot to Alavez. Alavez then mucked, also and Zehnder was the only player left with cards in his hands. He tabled 10♥7♥ for a flush, but before he could scoop the pot the other players had to reveal their cards due to the all in nature of the hand.

The dealer turned over Bedoya's J♠10♦ and Alavez's K♠J♥ showing that the pots had indeed been handed out correctly. "What a flop!" announced a spectator, as Zehnder made the pay jump.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kenny Bedoya	42,200,000 14,200,000	14,200,000
Zachary Zehnder	14,900,000 900,000	900,000
Briant Alavez	8,700,000 5,400,000	5,400,000

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

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Criscione	37,400,000 18,400,000	18,400,000
Briant Alavez	Busted

Artur Kozlowski: A♥8♦ All in
Douglas Weymeersch: Q♦J♠

The dealer fanned a board of 5♦3♦7♣A♦10♥ and Kozlowski secured a double up.

Concannon Cannot Find an Ace

Jacob Wilson

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.
