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.

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

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

Michael Mizrachi made it 1,700,000 to go with K♠K♦ and was called by John Wasnock in the big blind holding 3♠3♦, leading them to the A♠7♦5♥ flop that checked around. On the 5♣ turn, Wasnock bet 1,800,000, and Mizrachi called.

The river was the J♦ and Wasnock opted to check. Mizrachi bet and his rail had reason to celebrate as Wasnock sent the cards into the muck.

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.
