John Wasnock raised to 2,600,000 in the hijack with K♥10♥ and Joey Padron flat-called in the cutoff with A♣J♠. The flop came Q♦J♦3♠ and Wasnock continued with a bet of 3,500,000. Padron called and the 2♥ landed on the turn.

Wasnock counted out a bet of 6,000,000 on the turn and Padron wasted little time before mucking his cards. Wasnock celebrated with a fist pump as his rail also joined in the celebration.

Leo Margets was discussing her home country of Andorra with her tablemates as she opened to 2,400,000 in the hijack. "I'll tell you about Andorra after the hand," she said.

"They have good snowboarding there," former professional boarder Jarod Minghini added.

Michael Mizrachi and Tony Gregg called in the blinds and they saw a flop of 9♦6♠3♠. Mizrachi then led out for 5,000,000 with Q♠J♠, and Gregg quickly folded 9♠8♥. Margets also let go of A♠K♣ and Mizrachi took the pot.

Braxton Dunaway raised to 2,400,000 from an early position and was called by Michael Mizrachi on the button.

The flop came A♦Q♠3♠ and Dunaway bet 3,000,000. Mizrachi called and they both checked the 4♣ turn.

Dunaway then bet 7,300,000 on the 7♥ river, and Mizrachi mulled it over for a minute before calling. Dunaway turned over K♥4♥, while Mizrachi had the same hand with K♠4♠ to chop the pot as the two opponents leaned over the table and gave each other a big high-five and fist bump.

Joseph Ozimok raised to 12,000,000 from under the gun, leaving just 600,000 chips behind. John Wasnock flat-called in the cutoff and Joey Padron took some time before folding his 7♦6♦ on the button. The blinds folded and the dealer fanned the flop of Q♠9♣6♠. Ozimok checked to Wasnock who splashed in a bet and Ozimok called it off.

Joseph Ozimok: A♣10♥ All in
John Wasnock: A♠Q♣

Wasnock held a huge lead with a pair of queens but Ozimok's hopes stayed alive with the 10♦ on the turn. However, the 3♠ bricked out on the river and Ozimok bowed out in 12th place.

Leo Margets limped in and Braxton Dunaway checked out of the big blind to see a flop of 9♦8♠6♣, where she check-called a bet of 1,500,000 by Dunaway. The 4♥ turn brought another check-call for 2,500,000 and that led them to the 9♥ on the river.

Margets now bet for 4,000,000 and Dunaway instantly called with Q♦9♠ for rivered trips. Margets mucked A♠A♦ and Dunaway took the pot.

On the next hand, Hendrix raised to 2,400,000 with A♠Q♥ and Daehyung Lee three-bet to 6,500,000 on his left with A♦10♦. Hendrix stuck in a four-bet to 15,000,000 with the dominating hand and Lee eventually gave up his hand.

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Jarod Minghini raised to 2,400,000 in the cutoff and Braxton Dunaway called in the small blind, as did Kenny Hallaert in the big blind.

All three players checked the J♦10♠6♦ flop. Hallaert then bet 3,700,000 on the 6♠ turn and only Minghini called.

Hallaert bet another 6,500,000 on the 4♥ river and Minghini let out a loud sigh, taking a few minutes to count out his stack before sliding the chips to call in the middle. Hallaert showed 8♠5♠ for a missed flush draw, while Minghini turned over Q♣10♣ for two pair to win the pot.
