Nick Vazquez

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Utkarsh Kekre raised to 150,000 from the small blind. Ashley Frank, the popular poker vlogger known as "PokerFace Ash" defended the big blind.

The flop came Q♠10♥5♠, and Kekre bet 50,000. Frank then moved all in, and Kekre called.

Ashley Frank: 9♠8♠ All in
Utkarsh Kekre: 10♠8♣

The turn 6♠ gave Frank a flush, and the river A♣ finalized the double up.

Kekre then busted shortly after this hand.

Runner-Runner Straight Sends Sok to the Rail

Sava Krink

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Tyler Sok limped in from the cutoff, followed by Yen Chen on the button. Tom Thomas completed in the small blind, and Aaron Valencia checked his option in the big blind to take the four-way flop.

The dealer tabled 2♣7♣6♦, and all four players checked it through to the 3♠ turn.

Thomas took the lead with a bet of 200,000. Valencia quickly folded, and Sok, after a brief look at his cards, moved all in for about 520,000. Chen got out of the way, and the pressure was back on Thomas. He took a moment to count his stack, clearly uncomfortable, but eventually made the call.

Sok turned over 3♥3♦ for a set of threes, while Thomas revealed 7♠5♥ for top pair and a gutshot straight draw. He needed a four and found it when the 4♥ landed on the river, completing his straight and eliminating Sok.

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

With the national anthem indicating the start to the main even playing in the background, Ronald Weaver called Tiffany Williamson's all-in.

Tiffany Williamson: A♣J♠ All in
Ronald Weaver: 9♦9♣

As the music continued, with everyone in the room standing, the dealer laid out the runout 4♠4♥3♦J♣9♥.

Williamson jumped ahead when she hit a pair of jacks on the turn, but just as the song got to "banner yet wave," Weaver hit a set on the river for a full house.

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

Vaughn Steeves raised to 350,000 under the gun, leaving one red 5,000 chip behind. Julien Montois called on the button, and Soo Hyun Chang called for all of his chips in the big blind.

The flop came A♥2♥A♣, and Steeves bet his last chip. Montois called, and all three players showed their hands.

Soo Hyun Chang: 8♠8♣ All in
Vaughn Steeves: 2♠2♦ All in
Julien Montois: Q♣Q♦

The turn was the 9♣ and the river was the 2♣, meaning Steeves made quads and Chang was eliminated.

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

Steve Vila bet to 200,000 in the small blind on a flop of 4♥10♦K♦ and a pot of around 250,000. Baptiste Line from the big blind announced all-in and Vila had him covered and called.

Steve Vila: 10♣8♠ All in
Baptiste Line: K♥5♥

The runout J♣7♦ didn't improve Vila's hand sending him to the rail.

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

Feizal Satchu raised to 120,000 under the gun. Holden Filartiga went all in two to his left. Next to act, Gustavo De Lima also went all in. That was followed up by Richard Perie going all in immediately to his left. Satchu thought for a while before folding, and the three all-in players showed their hands.

Gustavo De Lima: 10♣10♠ All in
Holden Filartiga: A♥Q♠ All in
Richard Perie: K♥K♦

The flop of 9♥7♦7♥ looked good for Perie, but the turn 2♥ gave Filartiga hope. He made his flush when the 4♥ hit the river, and he let out a loud cheer of "vamo!" as he won this huge pot.

Steven Mann moved all in from under the gun. Feizal Satchu then rejammed from the button, and everyone else folded.

Steven Mann: A♠9♠ All in
Feizal Satchu: A♥K♥

The run out of 9♥8♦4♥8♥2♠ gave Satchu the flush, and Mann was eliminated from the tournament.
