Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Alexandros Kolonias open-shoved from early position for 86,000. Only Aleksandr Shevlyakov in the hijack gave him action.

Alexandros Kolonias: J♣10♣ All in
Aleksandr Shevlyakov: A♣K♣

Kolonias' clubs were covered, and the A♥9♠9♥8♥A♦ runout gave him only small hope on the turn, and nothing more. He was eliminated by the boat of Shevlyakov. Despite his sizeable stack, it was his first bounty of the day.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Vladimir Minko min-raised from middle position with only Carl Norris calling from the small blind.

Norris check-called a bet of 13,000 from Minko on the A♠3♣9♦ flop.

The turn came the 9♠ and both players checked to see the 8♠ appear on the river. Norris jammed for around 50,000, which Minko snap-called.

Norris showed 4♠4♣ for a pair of fours and lost the pot to Minko's Q♠9♣ for trips.

Sava Krink

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Davidi Kitai opened from under the gun, and Victor Chong in middle position made the call. Action folded to Sean Winter in the small blind, who decided it was time to go all in and he shoved his stack in the middle for around 173,000. Kitai got out of the way and Chong made the call.

Sean Winter: A♣Q♣
Victor Chong: A♠J♦

Winter was slightly ahead even as the flop ran out K♠A♦9♠, giving both players top pair. But the tables were turned at the turn when it showed J♥ for two pair for Chong. The 6♦ didn't change the outcome, sending Winter to the rail, and Chong added to his stack, plus collected the bounty.

Victor Chong	765,000 295,000	295,000

Stewart Morrison

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Left very short-stacked after a previous encounter, Justin Saliba had just 31,000 left in his stack.

When Matthew Lambrecht opened to 30,000, one seat to Saliba's right, he made the call, leaving 1,000 behind. The big blind came along too, and the three went a flop.

Lambrecht put out a bet of 25,000 on the Q♣7♠A♥ flop, and the big blind folded.

Justin Saliba: 7♥7♦ All in
Matthew Lambrecht: A♣10♥

The turn 3♦ secured Saliba a triple up, which Lambrecht paid after the dealer put out the 9♠ river.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Loni Hui was forced all in from the small blind, with just 3,000 chips to her name. Robert Cowen flatted from late position, before Matas Cikinas then shoved, bounty hunting, from the cutoff. Everyone else folded, and Cikinas was in good shape to pick up his first bounty of the day.

Loni Hui: 8♠5♠ All in
Matas Cikinas: K♦10♦

Despite not needing to improve, Cikinas rivered a flush on 7♣2♥Q♦2♦J♦ to send Harwood home.

Joseph Triples; Big Side Pot for Lambrecht; Fumes for Saliba

Stewart Morrison

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was joined with three players already all in, but no board yet on the table.

Johanssy Joseph was all in for roughly 100,000; Matthew Lambrecht for around 280,000, and Justin Saliba had them both covered with a stack of 311,000.

Johanssy Joseph: A♥K♣ All in
Matthew Lambrecht: A♣Q♥ All in
Justin Saliba: K♦K♥

A promising situation for Saliba to amass a huge stack and pick up two bounties, worth $3,000 each.

The flop laid rest to those dreams, though, as the dealer fanned out a A♦J♣9♠ flop, improving both of Saliba's opponents to top pair.

The 9♦ turn and J♥ river kept standings as they were, meaning no bounties exchanged hands as Joseph tripled up and Lambrecht took the side pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Matthew Lambrecht	360,000

Johanssy Joseph	320,000 207,000	207,000
Justin Saliba	31,000 279,000	279,000
