Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jennifer Harman jammed for 300,000 from early position and was called by David Shaw out of the big blind.

Jennifer Harman: A♠A♣ All in
David Shaw: Q♥J♣

Harman picked up aces at the perfect time, and only a really unlucky board would end her turbo tournament.

The Q♠Q♣7♣ flop propelled Shaw into the lead with trips. The Q♦ turn improved Shaw to quads, leaving Harman drawing dead. An inconsequential K♠ hit the river, and Harman headed to the rail.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Shortly after Jennifer Harman was eliminated at table 62, Raoul Kanme shoved from the small blind while covering the big blind.

After the clock was called, Zdenek Zizka slid his stack into the middle and the cards were turned up.

Zdenek Zizka: 4♠4♦ All in
Raoul Kanme: Q♥5♠

Zizka's pocket pair faced immediate danger on the J♦A♦A♥ flop, as Kanme picked up extra outs. The 7♦ changed nothing, but Kanme's queen played after the J♣ river, sending Zizka to the rail.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Xiaoyao Ma raised from early position, and only Colin Dentan called from the big blind.

Dentan checked the 2♦A♥10♣ flop, and Ma bet 110,000. Dentan quickly called.

Two checks followed the 3♠ turn for the 7♦ to appear on the river. Dentan bet 275,000, which Ma snap-called.

Dentan showed a busted straight draw with K♣J♣. Ma revealed AxXx for top pair to take down the pot.

At another table, Qiang Xu was seen leaving the tournament area and had been eliminated.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Raoul Kanme opened to 160,000 from the button. Aleksandr Shevlyakov three-bet to 300,000 from the small blind, Kanme raised all-in and Shevlyakov called with the 10,000 he had left.

Aleksandr Shevlyakov: A♠9♠ All in
Raoul Kanme: Q♠8♣

Shevlyakov was taking his time for the next pay jump but he managed to double up on K♥7♥5♣7♦2♥. On the very next hand however, he was all-in and at risk once again from the button against Dragana Mackelprang in the big blind.

Aleksandr Shevlyakov: K♠Q♠ All in
Dragana Mackelprang: A♠K♥

Despite his double up, Shevlyakov lost all of his chips on 9♥J♥7♠A♣3♠ and was eliminated.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ryuta Nakai jammed from early position for roughly 900,000. The action folded around to Harvey Castro in the big blind, who had roughly 800,000 behind. Castro took one look at his cards and made the call to put himself at risk.

Harvey Castro: 8♣8♦ All in
Ryuta Nakai: K♠J♠

It was a crucial flip for both players. The board came K♥6♥5♣2♣J♥ to give Nakai the best hand with top two pair. Castro tossed his bounty chip over to Nakai and headed to the exit.

Michael Brinkenhoff raised all in for 460,000 from the button. Jeffrey Hong in the big blind went deep into the tank and eventually made the call.

Michael Brinkenhoff: 4♠4♦ All in
Jeffrey Hong: 10♥6♥

Brinkenhoff flopped a set on Q♥K♥4♣, but this board also opened a flush draw for Hong. The J♣ turn changed nothing, but the 8♥ river completed Hong's flush and sent Brinkenhoff to the rail.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Min Zhang moved all in for 410,000 in middle position before Samuel Mullur shoved for 1,100,000 on the button. Martin Kabrhel then announced all in for 1,130,000 from the small blind, just covering Mullur.

Min Zhang: A♦9♦ All in
Samuel Mullur: A♣10♠ All in
Martin Kabrhel: 8♣8♦

Kabrhel asked the dealer for the eight of hearts on the flop, but Zhang and Mullur still had life after seeing 5♥4♠Q♣ hit the board. The dealer then delivered the 8♥ on the turn, giving Kabrhel a set.

The 5♦ river saw Kabrhel improve to a full house, scoring two bounties by sending Zhang and Mullur to the payout desk.

The rest of the players bagged up their chips for the three table redraw, taking place in the Horseshoe Event Center.
