Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Lok Chan opened from the hijack when Fabian Rolli jammed in 210,000 from the small blind. Chan debated a while, then flicked in a call.

Fabian Rolli: K♠K♦ All in
Lok Chan: A♣10♠

Chan did not find an ace on the 9♥5♣6♥3♣2♠ board, and Rolli doubled up.

Chan was left with 10,000, which he committed to the middle after Jacob Powers limped in under the gun. Jeremy Kottler then made it 60,000 to go, which Powers called.

Powers checked in the dark, prompting Kottler to bet 50,000 once he saw the A♦2♥K♣ flop. Powers raised to 120,000, signaling Kottler to fold.

Lok Chan: 9♠9♥ All in
Jacob Powers: K♦10♣

Chan needed help again, but once more it failed to arrive. The board ran out with the 2♠ turn and 7♦ river, leaving Tran to say his goodbyes to the Main Event.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Waheed Feda started the action under the gun with a 24,000 bet and got called by Sergio Veloso in middle position and Moshe Refaelovitz on the button.

The trio saw a 9♠4♦7♦ flop and after action was checked to him, Refaelovitz bet 36,000. Feda called by Veloso got out of the way.

The turn K♥ was check-called by Feda after a 76,000 bet from Refaelovitz.

On the river Q♠ the same thing happened after Refaelovitz bet 160,000.

Refaelovitz tabled K♣Q♥ prompting Feda to muck his hand as he shook his head muttering to himself.
