Nick Vazquez

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Victor Espinal opened from under the gun to 250,000. Luther Tran made it 650,000 on the button. Espinal then went all in, and Tran snap-called.

Victor Espinal: A♠J♠ All in
Luther Tran: A♣A♦

The flop was 5♥5♦2♣, the turn J♣ gave Espinal a little hope, but it was not to be as the 9♦ fell on the river and he was knocked out of the tournament.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Dinesh Singham bet 200,000 on a board of 2♥5♣5♠9♣. Richard Clayton raised from the button to 1,200,000.

Singham went into the tank and came out swinging, reraising all in with more than two million chips. Clayton called.

Dinesh Singham: 7♦7♣ All in
Richard Clayton: A♥5♥

The river K♦ couldn't get Singham past Clayton's trip fives, and he was done for the tournament.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Lazar Bartha kicked off the action with a raise to 600,000 from late position, leaving just 205,000 behind. Mikolaj Zawadzki made the call on the button, but the hand was far from over, Michael Sampognaro in the big blind moved all in for 1,205,000.

Bartha quickly called off the rest of his stack, and after getting the count confirmed, Zawadzki threw in the chips as well, setting up a three-way showdown.

Lazar Bartha: J♠J♥ All in
Michael Sampognaro: 10♥10♦ All in
Mikolaj Zawadzki: A♥J♣

Zawadzki was slightly behind, but hit the A♠4♣Q♣ flop to take the lead. Neither the 3♦ turn nor the K♥ river changed anything, and Zawadzki held on to eliminate both opponents in one swoop. The massive pot secured him a place near the top of the chip counts.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Joe Warling was at risk with a preflop all in from the big blind, as was Yuhi Hayashi under the gun. Samuel Taylor joined the party from middle position with the biggest stack.

Joe Warling: 9♦9♥ All in
Yuhi Hayashi: A♦K♠ All in
Samuel Taylor: 8♣8♦

The runout of J♠4♣9♣10♣5♥ excited Warling, thanks to the window card giving him a set. That was good enough for the main point.

Taylor took the rest of Hayashi's chips in the side pot.

Joe Warling	4,600,000 2,325,000	2,325,000
Samuel Taylor	4,000,000 3,185,000	3,185,000

Joshua Rothberg: A♣7♦ All in
Holden Filartiga: 10♥8♦

With the board running out 10♣J♦4♣8♥8♠ Filartiga risky call paid off with a 10 on the flop, and his hand got better on each street. He ended with a full house for overkill.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Malachy Hagan kicked things off with a raise to 1,600,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Carlos Santos in middle position, who quickly went all in. With the action back to Hagan, he made the call, leading to a showdown.

Malachy Hagan: K♥10♥ All in
Carlos Santos: A♥A♣

Hagan needed help from the board, and the 4♠K♠2♦ flop gave him a pair of kings. But it wasn't quite enough and the A♠ turn sealed the deal for Santos, who made a set of aces, and the Q♣ river just confirmed Hagan's elimination.
