Caglar Bayindir chose to jam for his final 9,100,000 from the hijack and was called by Peter Placey in the cutoff to send them to a showdown with Bayindir at risk.
Caglar Bayindir: K♦8♦
Peter Placey: K♣10♦
Bayindir needed some help to beat the better king of Placey, but it never came as the board ran 7♠2♣4♥A♦3♣ to eliminate Bayindir in 18th place. Bayinder was awarded $36,220 for his finish.
Lee Flemming open-shoved in the hijack for 8,000,000 and Bartlomiej Swieboda called in the cutoff with the covering stack.
Lee Flemming: 9♥9♣
Bartlomiej Swieboda: A♣10♠
The board ran out 4♣K♣8♥J♦10♣ with Swieboda pairing his ten on the river to send Flemming packing.
Alexander Yen began the hand with an all-in from the small blind after the table folded to him. Christopher Dzoan called from the big blind and was at risk for his tournament life.
Christopher Dzoan: K♦J♦
Alexander Yen: 10♣9♥
Dzoan was ahead and flopped a huge hand when it came out Q♣10♥9♦ to give him the nut straight. Yen, however, was not out of it yet as he flopped two pairs.
The 9♣ turn was an unfavorable one for Dzoan as it improved Yen to a full house. The Q♦ altered the full house, but not the outcome of the hand, as it eliminated Dzoan in 20th place. Dzoan earned $36,220 for his finish.
Peter Placey shoved in early position, holding A♥K♠, and got called by Christopher Davis who held nothing else than A♦A♣ and with a total stack of 19,100,000.
The board didn't bring any miracle for Placey with 10♣5♣3♦4♥Q♦ and Davis took down the pot and the double-up.
Katie Lindsay open-shoved for 11,200,000 with Q♣J♦ and got called by Randall Obando Aguilar who held A♠K♥.
Lindsay's hand was dominated but she found a board 9♥2♠3♠3♥J♥ to double on the river with a pair of jacks.
Martin Kabrhel began the hand with a raise to 4,000 from early position. The table folded to Peter Placey, who opted to go all in for approximately 27,000,000 from the cutoff. Robert Cheung decided to also go all in from the small blind for less than Placey. Kabrhel folded to send Placey and Cheung to a showdown.
Robert Cheung: A♠J♠
Peter Placey: 9♣9♠
Placey had the better hand to start, but the flop gave Cheung plenty of outs as it came 4♠10♠4♦.
The 7♥ turn was a brick, and the Q♥ river elicited a celebratory reaction from Placey as Cheung was eliminated in 20th place. Cheung earned $36,220 for his effort.
Level: 40
Blinds: 1,000,000/2,000,000
Ante: 2,000,000
Roberto Betbese open-shoved for his last 9,000,000 in early position and Thomas Cazayous made the call in the hijack. The rest of the players folded and they tabled their cards:
Roberto Betbese: A♥5♣
Thomas Cazayous: 6♥6♦
The board Q♦8♣7♠5♠9♦ didn't change anything and Cazayous' pair of sixes stayed ahead to send Betbese to the payout desk.
Alexander Yen raised to 3,200,000 in early position, which was met with an all-in by Michael Smith, for roughly 15,800,000. Action folded back to Yen, who made the call.
Michael Smith: Q♠Q♣
Alexander Yen: K♥K♣
A nasty cooler for Smith so deep into the tournament, and no help was forthcoming on the 10♥3♣5♦ flop.
The turn 3♥ and river A♣ were also unable to assist, and he departed in 23rd place.
Action folded around to Liviu-Rodrig Bartha in the small blind who moved all in for 13,800,000. Alexander Yen thought for a moment before making the call in the big blind with the covering stack.
Liviu-Rodrig Bartha: Q♠3♣
Alexander Yen: Q♣8♣
The flop came A♣A♠9♥ with Yen still out in the lead. He pulled ahead further on the 8♠ turn, improving to two pair, aces and eights. The J♣ landed on the river and Bartha was sent to the payout desk.
