Eric Afriat Eliminated in 29th Place ($300,000)

Adam Lamers

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Eric Afriat moved all in for his last 725,000 on the button. Nazar Buhaiov called in the big blind and Afriat voiced what he would like to see happen.

"Isolate me," he said with action still pending. No isolation took place as John Wasnock came along from the big blind as well.

The flop came 4♣3♣2♥ and Afriat started to pack up his card protectors as the two players checked in the dry side pot. The turn was the 7♠ and the action checked through to the A♣ on the river.

Buhaiov finally led out with a bet of 500,000 and Afriat started to walk away from the table. Wasnock mucked his hand and Buhaiov flipped over Q♦5♦ for a straight. Afriat returned to table his 10♠9♥ and then wished everyone good luck before departing.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Daniel Iachan opened from the hijack, but Jarod Minghini quickly applied pressure with a three-bet to 2,700,000 from the cutoff holding A♣Q♥. Lautaro Guerra, sitting in the small blind, woke up with A♦K♥ and moved all in for 7,725,000. Iachan got out of the way, and Minghini made the call.

The board ran out 5♥J♣2♥K♣8♣, giving Guerra top pair on the turn and no help to Minghini. With that, Guerra secured the double and continued his rise through the chip counts.

Lautaro Guerra kicked things off from under the gun with an all-in of 5,550,000. Action folded to Theo Tran in middle position, who went all-in himself for 1,925,000. Nobody else joined, so the cards went on their backs.

Theo Tran: K♥8♠ All in
Lautaro Guerra: A♦10♠

The board ran out of 9♣J♣7♥5♦J♦, offering no help for Tran, and he was eliminated.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,100,000 under the gun with 8♣6♣ and Adam Hendrix called on the button holding 2♠2♣.

Both players checked the J♣6♠3♦ flop. Hallaert also checked the A♣ turn and Hendrix bet 2,200,000. Hallaert called with a pair and flush draw.

The river, though, was the 2♦ as Hendrix improved to a set. He bet 7,700,000, but Hallaert gave up his hand this time.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

On the first hand back from break, Giovanni Pupo moved all in for 5,050,000 in middle position and Adam Hendrix called on the button. Murilo Milhomem then reshoved for 8,150,000 in the small blind and Hendrix snap-called to put both opponents at risk.

Giovanni Pupo: K♠J♣ All in
Murilo Milhomem: A♠K♣ All in
Adam Hendrix: K♥K♦

"We need an ace. Ace. Ace. Ace," Milhomem chanted as he ran over to his rail. Hendrix stood up from his seat and rested his head on the chair in anticipation as the flop came J♠10♥5♣, keeping him in the lead with his kings but giving Pupo a pair and Milhomem a straight draw.

"No queen, jack, or ace," Hendrix said, and the 6♣ fell on the turn. The river was the 6♦ and Hendrix scooped the pot to score the double knockout, sending Pupo and Milhomem to the rail in 32nd and 31st place, respectively.

Arai Finds a Crucial Double Through Tran

Calum Grant

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Daniel Iachan opened the action with a raise to 800,000 from early position, and Kohei Arai responded by moving all in from the hijack for 4,975,000 with A♥8♥. Theo Tran reshoved over the top for 6,900,000 holding A♦K♥, putting Arai at risk. Iachan got out of the way, and the cards went on their backs.

The board ran out 8♣2♦5♠3♥5♣, pairing Arai’s eight on the flop and holding through to the river. Tran, despite having the better hand preflop, was left with just crumbs as Arai secured a much-needed double to stay alive in the tournament.

Afriat Not a Happy Bunny After Perati Rivers a Full House

Kai Cocklin

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Joseph Ozimok opened the action with a raise to 800,000 from middle position and Braxton Dunaway called in the cutoff. Muhamet Perati called on the button, and Eric Afriat called out of the big blind.

The quartet saw a flop of Q♣6♥7♣ hit the felt, which checked to Dunaway, who bet 1,400,000. Perati called, Afriat called, and Padron got out of the way.

All three checked the 5♠ turn to the 6♦ river, where Afriat led out for 2,500,000. Dunaway folded, but then Perati put in a big raise 9,200,000. Afriat didn't like what he saw and had around 10,000,000 in his stack, which meant the decision was for the bulk of it. After doing some inventory, Afriat called.

Perati then showed a full house with 7♥7♠, and Afriat thumped the table with his fist and mucked.

Muhamet Perati	42,500,000 16,700,000	16,700,000

Stefan Nemetz raised to 800,000 in early position and Kenny Hallaert called in the big blind.

The flop came A♥9♠3♣ and Nemetz bet 550,000. Hallaert called and the 7♣ fell on the turn.

Nemetz then bet 2,300,000 and Hallaert again called. Both players checked the 8♥ river, and Hallaert showed K♦9♣ for a pair of nines. Nemetz mucked K♠8♠.

Perati Short No More After Winning Back-to-Back Hands

Kai Cocklin

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Muhamet Perati just rocketed up the counts after winning back-to-back hands.

First, Joey Padron opened to 800,000 in middle position and Perati three-bet shoved for 7,500,000 in the cutoff. When it got back to Padron, he confirmed the count and called.

Muhamet Perati: 10♠10♣ All in
Joey Padron: A♣Q♥

Perati flopped a set on the 3♣10♥J♣ flop and faded the Broadway draw of Padron on the 4♥5♠ runout.

In the next hand, Perati raised the hijack to 800,000 and Ruben Correia three-bet the cutoff to 1,800,000. When it got back to Perati, he four-bet to 5,300,000, and that earned him the pot as Correia folded.

Ruben Correia	33,000,000 2,500,000	2,500,000
