Chris Dombrowski: K♣J♣ All in
Leo Margets: A♣J♦

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Sergio Veloso raised to 1,600,000 under the gun and Daniel Iachan moved all in for 8,700,000 in early position. Luka Bojovic then reraised to 16,000,000 in the small blind, and Veloso quickly got out of the way.

Daniel Iachan: K♠K♦ All in
Luka Bojovic: Q♠Q♥

Bojovic showed down a pair of queens, but Iachan had him dominated with his kings. The 7♥4♥2♥ flop meant Iachan had to sweat Bojovic's flush draw, but he dodged the 6♠ turn and J♠ river to double up.

Leo Margets raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Diego Ponce shipped all in for 11,200,000. Margets wasted little time calling and the two players embraced as they awaited the community cards.

Diego Ponce: J♥J♣ All in
Leo Margets: Q♠Q♣

The Mexican rail was cheering for a jack, while the Spaniards were hoping for anything but that. The board ran out K♣6♥3♦2♣9♠ and the Mexicans celebrated the deep run of Ponce who bowed out in 19th place.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,700,000 from the cutoff to pick up a single caller in Braxton Dunaway out of the big blind. Both players checked the K♦Q♦10♦ to the 7♥ turn, leading to another check by Dunaway. Hallaert now bet 2,500,000 and took down the pot uncontested.

Tony Gregg then raised to 1,600,000 and Dunaway called on the button. Michael Mizrachi then pushed all in for 17,800,000

Michael Mizrachi: Q♥Q♦ All in
Tony Gregg: 9♥9♠

The 10♣3♥2♦ flop kept Mizrachi in the lead and the J♥ turn changed nothing. Mizrachi turned around and laid on the floor waiting for the outcome of the hand. That was done via the 6♥ river and Mizrachi doubled once again, leaving Gregg short prior to the two table redraw.

Dunaway checked once more on the A♥ river and Margets bet 3,000,000. Dunaway check-raised to 7,900,000 with his two pair, and Margets folded.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi opened to 1,600,000 from under the gun with [10h10d and Sergio Veloso defended A♦4♥ in the big blind.

Veloso checked on the flop of A♣6♦Q♦ and Mizrachi bet 900,000. Veloso called after hitting top pair. Both players then checked on the 6♠ turn.

Veloso bet 2,000,000 on the 5♥ river and Mizrachi folded, despite carving out two stacks of chips as if to raise.

The next hand, Muhamet Perati raised to 1,600,000 in middle position and Braxton Dunaway called in the cutoff as Mizrachi defended his big blind.

Mizrachi checked on the Q♥A♦J♥ flop and Perati bet 1,500,000. Dunaway folded and Mizrachi check-raised to 5,000,000. Perati called.

Mizrachi bet 8,400,000 on the 9♥ turn, and Perati folded.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,600,000 in middle position and Muhamet Perati moved all in for 17,000,000 in the small blind. Hallaert snap-called once action got back to him.

Muhamet Perati: A♥Q♥ All in
Kenny Hallaert: A♣K♦

The underdog pulled ahead on the Q♠7♦3♥ flop, while the J♦ turn provided more outs for Hallaert with the Broadway draw. The river brought the K♣ and Perati turned away from the table in disgust after Hallaert spiked a pair of kings. The Italian snapped a photo of the board before making his exit in 18th place.

All remaining 17 players have now locked up at least $450,000 for their efforts and Hallaert jumped back towards the upper echelon of the leaderboard.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

The action folded around to Joseph Ozimok in the small blind who ripped all in as the covering stack. Daniel Iachan was in the big blind and eyed the tournament clock. After a couple of minutes, Iachan called off his stack of 9,400,000 and the cards were face up.

Daniel Iachan: Q♦9♠ All in
Joseph Ozimok: K♦10♠

The flop of A♥6♣3♣ connected with neither player, leaving Ozimok's king-high in the lead. However, the Q♣ on the turn sent Iachan out front with a pair of queens and the Q♠ on the river secured his double up.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Daehyung Lee raised to 2,000,000 in the cutoff and Joseph Ozimok moved all in for 7,700,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Lee asked for a count before making the call.

Joseph Ozimok: Q♠Q♦ All in
Daehyung Lee: A♣8♦

The flop came J♣9♦8♣ to give Lee a pair of eights but it wasn't enough to overtake the pocket queens of Ozimok. The K♥ on the turn and the 7♠ on the river changed nothing, and Ozimok scored a double-up.
