Following an open in the hijack to 10,000, Leonardo Rizzo moved all in for 36,000. A couple of seats to his left, Tomoyuki Yoshimiya chose to move all in too, which prompted a fold from the initial raiser.

Leonardo Rizzo: J♠6♠ All in
Tomoyuki Yoshimiya: A♥9♠

Yoshimiya was chasing the bounty, but would have to try again another time, as the dealer put out a board of 10♦3♥6♥6♦10♣, giving Rizzo a full house and the double up.

Aliaksandr Shylko was all-in for his last 75,000 or so with Matthew Valeo trying to claim his bounty.

Aliaksandr Shylko: A♠A♣ All in
Matthew Valeo: 10♣10♥

Shylko had the goods with aces and needed to fade a ten to survive. The 4♠9♦A♥ flop was favorable for Shylko as he hit top set. The rest of the board ran out 4♦3♣ and Shylko took around half of Valoe's stack.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

In the first hand, John Riordan went all in from the button and Rania Nasreddine called in the small blind.

John Riordan: A♥A♣ All in
Rania Nasreddine: A♠K♦

The board ran out 6♥5♣4♦8♣J♠, offering no help for Nasreddine, doubling Riordan up.

In the very next hand, Calvin Anderson opened from under the gun, action folded to Nasreddine, who went all in for her last 42,500. Shunjiro Kita in the small blind then went all in himself for 104,000, and Anderson folded after thinking briefly about it, and the cards went on their backs.

Rania Nasreddine: K♠Q♣ All in
Shunjiro Kita: J♠J♦

The J♣8♦10♠ flop gave Kita a set, but Nasreddine had a straight draw. But the 2♠ turn and the 2♣ river completed the full house for Kita, sending Nasreddine to tha rail, and Kita collected her bounty.

Player	Chips	Progress
John Riordan	178,000 114,000	114,000

Shunjiro Kita	162,500 162,500	162,500

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was joined as three players had all their chips in the middle. Both Ryo Hara and Christopher Staats were at risk, as they were both covered by Dragana Mackelprang.

Ryo Hara: 4♠4♣ All in
Christopher Staats: 8♣8♦ All in
Dragana Mackelprang: A♦10♠

There were two bounties available for Mackelprang, and the K♥10♣10♦ flop significantly improved her chances of collecting them. When the turn 10♥ arrived, both her opponents got out of their seats, as Mackelprang now had the check mark with four-of-a-kind.

The mandatory Q♠ river was dealt, and the pot was pushed to Mackelprang, who asked if she could take a photo of the board before the dealer shuffled for the next hand.

Dragana Mackelprang	318,000
