Maxime Taldir

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

Sohaib Choudhry's open from under the gun was met with a three-bet from Ryan Wolfson to 700,000. Wolfson had left 70,000 behind, and Choudhry slid in the call.

After the 7♠K♦7♦ flop, the rest of Wolfson's stack hit the middle and the cards were revealed.

Ryan Wolfson: A♦K♦ All in
Sohaib Choudhry: J♠J♦

Wolfson took the lead on the flop with two pair, holding through the 2♠ turn and 5♥ river to double up.

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

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.

Sweaty Split

Maxime Taldir

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

Dragana Mackelprang opened to 150,000 from the cutoff. Rob Hollink on the button three-bet to 475,000, Mackelprang immediately four-bet all in and Hollink snap-called.

Dragana Mackelprang: A♦K♠ All in
Rob Hollink: A♥K♥

Both players were supposed to split the pot with the same hand, but Mackelprang's smile disappeared when Hollink flopped a flush draw on 3♥4♣5♥.

The Q♦ turn was followed by the 7♣ river and Mackelprang looked more than relieved to split the pot.

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

Steve Zolotow in the small blind was all-in and at risk against Michael Acevedo in the big blind.

Steve Zolotow: A♦9♣ All in
Michael Acevedo: 5♦3♦

"Not much I could do," Zolotow said as he was eliminated after Acevedo hit a full house on 3♥8♣8♦7♣8♠.

Harman's Aces Get Cracked by Quads

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

George Dolofan moved all in for his last 210,000 in the hijack, only to see David Shaw shove his larger stack in the small blind. That left Dolofan at risk, and the cards were turned up.

George Dolofan: A♥2♥ All in
David Shaw: 7♣7♦

Shaw's pocket pair held through the Q♥Q♣9♦K♠4♠ runout, sending Dolofan out while collecting the pot.
