Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action was picked up on a board reading A♠Q♦J♣10♣ with two players still holding cards. Raoul Kanme checked his action over to Venkat Chivukula, who then shoved into a pot of 625,000. "970,000," he announced, which the dealer confirmed to be correct. Kanme was in a "sick" spot, and after some time, he ended up releasing his cards. Chivukula showed that he did indeed have it, as he tabled K♦Q♥

John Riordan opened to 100,000 in the hijack before Clemen Deng moved all in on the button. Riordan made the call, and the hands were turned up.
Clemen Deng: A♠6♠
John Riordan: K♠J♣
Deng's ace held up through the 9♠5♦Q♠9♦8♥ runout, staying alive and doubling his stack. Riordan was all in himself shortly after, unable to improve and hitting the rail.

Moments after Dinesh Alt's elimination from the table, Haiyang Yang jammed for 360,000 from the small blind and Michael Acevedo called in the big blind.
Haiyang Yang: Q♣J♥
Michael Acevedo: 10♦7♦
The flop was A♥2♦2♥ followed by the 3♦ turn which opened a flush draw for Acevedo. But he didn’t need a fifth diamond to win, as the 7♥ river put him in the lead to eliminate Yang.

Haiyang Yang min-raised from early position with Chad Thyzel calling from middle position, and Justin Saliba defending his big blind.
After Saliba checked the 3♥3♠A♠ flop, Yang bet 110,000. Thyzel called, but Saliba folded.
The 9♠ dropped on the turn and Yang opted to check-fold to Thyzel's shove of 290,000.

Anton Lu was all in and at risk against Aaron Mermelstein on his direct left.
Anton Lu: 6♣6♥
Aaron Mermelstein: A♣3♣
The 8♦K♣7♣ flop was safe for Lu, but the 8♠ turn brought Mermelstein some additional outs. The dealer flipped over the K♠ river, seeing Mermelstein make two pair with his ace. That counterfeited Lu's pair, sending his bounty to Mermelstein.

David Sanchez: A♥9♥

Steve Zolotow found himself all in and way ahead, as his shove was called by Boris Kolev who covered.
Steve Zolotow: 7♣7♥
Boris Kolev: 6♥6♠
The 8♠Q♠5♠ flop had Zolotow up and out of his chair, as if he was expecting a spade to peel off. He didn't need to worry about a flush, though, as he boated up through the Q♥Q♦ runout.
