Adam Lamers

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

Robert Mizrachi: J♠9♠9♣8♣ All in
Zhengpeng Liu: A♥A♦7♣5♣

The flop came 10♣5♠5♦ and Liu improved to trip fives to hold a commanding lead. However, the Q♣ on the turn gave Mizrachi a wealth of outs and the K♠ on the river was one of them to help him double up.

Noel Rodriguez raised the pot to 56,000 in the cutoff and was called by Simon Lofberg on the button. Matthew Beck reraised the pot from the small blind and Rodriguez stuck in his stack of around 260,000. Lofberg got out of the way and the two hands were face up.

Noel Rodriguez: A♣A♦J♣5♥ All in
Matthew Beck: A♠A♥Q♥2♥

The flop came 9♠9♥5♣ and it appeared that the two players were going to chop the pot. However, the 10♥ and J♥ runout gave Beck the ace-high flush and Rodriguez was forced to the rail.

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

Samir Hage asked the dealer if he had put in his four thousand chips while his small blind was already 8,000.

"Here are my eight, and another eight," Hage said as he limped. Michael Wang in the big blind checked and the flop came J♠5♥3♦. Hage check-called for 30,000 and the 4♥ turn was checked. On the A♥ river, Hage bet 53,000 and Wang reluctantly called but mucked upon being shown the 9♣7♠6♠3♣.

"Now I am not tilted anymore," Hage said to the dealer.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fernando Gutierrez raised to 40,000 from under the gun and Lawrence Wayne three-bet to 144,000 on his left. Thomas Taylor reraised the pot to over 500,000 and the action quickly folded back to Wayne who stuck in the last few chips in front of him.

Lawrence Wayne: Q♠Q♦J♣10♠ All in
Thomas Taylor: A♣A♦J♠8♥

The flop came J♥6♦5♣ and Taylor was still out front with his pair of aces. The 10♣ on the turn gave Wayne two pair but the 5♠ on the river gave Taylor the best two pair to eliminate the dog-barking Wayne from the event.
