Level 43 : 10,000/25,000, 0 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 50,000 on the button and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 175,000. Martirosian made the call and the two were off to a flop with 350,000 in the middle.

The flop was Q♣8♣5♦ and Kornuth checked. Martirosian fired out 105,000, which was called.

The two players then checked the K♣ turn, and the river put a fourth club on the board in the form of the 5♣. Kornuth bet 75,000 and Martirosian called. Chance showed 8♠8♦ for a flopped set, and that won him the pot.

Despite this setback, Martirosian has made up some ground on Kornuth.

A completed board of 9♥6♠3♦2♠K♠ was spread across the felt with a little over 500,000 in the middle already. Harvey Castro was first to act and ripped all in for around 560,000. Aliaksei Boika asked for a count and then used a single chip to call.

Castro reluctantly turned over 7♠4♦ for a missed straight draw and just seven-high while Boika tabled 3♥2♣ for two pair to earn the pot and the victory.

Mike Shi Eliminated in 8th Place ($86,000)

Level 42 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Michael Shi
Michael Shi

Mike Shi raised on the button to 40,000 and Patrick Leonard reraised to 105,000 from the big blind. Shi called.

The flop came 9♠3♣2♣ and Leonard continued for 45,000. Shi once again made the call.

The K♦ turn saw Leonard bet again, this time 60,000. Shi stuck around and the two went off to the river.

The A♠ fell on the river and Leonard bet 100,000. Shi called pretty quickly. Leonard revealed K♠J♠ and that had Shi's K♣7♣ outkicked.

The dealer counted down Shi's stack and he was left with just 7,000 chips. "No offense to you, but if I don't win now I'm never playing poker again", Leonard declared.

Shi was forced all in from the big blind in the very next hand.

Leonard: 10♠5♦
Shi: Q♦7♥ All in

The board ran out with the 10♦4♦3♠K♠A♣ and we don't have to hold Patrick Leonard to that declaration.
