Level 31 : Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Rainer Kempe made it 480,000 to go from under the gun. When it folded to Yuya Arito on the button, he announced raise and placed a T-500,000 chip out in front of him as he hadn't noticed Kempe's open. After the floor was called, it was determined that Arito's raise would have to be a minimum three-bet to 720,000.

After the blinds folded, Kempe four-bet to 2,950,000 with just a few chips behind. Arito thought it over for a few moments before folding and forfeiting the pot to Kempe.

Michael Acevedo: A♦3♣ All in

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Davidi Kitai raised to 500,000 under the gun with just 90,000 behind. Jeffrey Hong called to see a flop from the big blind.

Hong checked the 8♥2♣A♦ flop and Kitai jammed for his last 90,000. Hong reluctantly called, and the cards were revealed.

Davidi Kitai: K♥3♦ All in
Jeffrey Hong: 6♠5♦

Neither player had a pair, which meant Kitai was in the lead with king-high. The 6♦ turn propelled Hong into the lead with a pair of sixes. The 7♥ hit the river, and Kitai headed to the rail in 15th.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Ryan Wolfson limped in the small blind, and Jeffrey Hong checked his big blind option. The dealer fanned out the J♠A♣6♠ flop, with Wolfson check-calling a bet of 120,000.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With Sohaib Choudhry forced all-in from the big blind for his last 120,000, Robert Cowen limped the cutoff. Colin Dentan jammed from the small blind with the covering stack, and Cowen snap-called for his stack of roughly 830,000.

Sohaib Choudhry: 9♦6♠ All in
Robert Cowen: A♠A♥ All in
Colin Dentan: A♦6♥

Cowen trapped with pocket aces, and unless an unfortunate runout occurred, he would claim a bounty and move up to over two million in chips.

A clean runout of K♦10♥9♣K♣6♦ came out for Cowen's aces and he more than doubled up, while Choudhry was out in 19th.

Raoul Kanme: 10♠10♥

Cho was flipping but found no help on the 2♠8♥4♦4♣3♠ runout, as Kanme collected her bounty chip.
