Level 27
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Khoi Le Nguyen opened the hijack to 1,000,000 and Alexandre Reard defended his big blind.
On the K♦J♣5♠ flop, Reard check-called a bet of 850,000 from Nguyen.
Reard checked again on the 9♦ turn as Nguyen sized up to 3,000,000, and Reard put in the call once again.
The 3♣ river checked through as Reard tabled J♠9♠ for two pair which was good as Nguyen quickly mucked and Reard collected a big one, much to the delight of the growing French rail.

Level 27

Alexandre Reard limped from the small blind and Vinny Lingham checked his option in the big blind.
The 7♣3♥2♥ flop checked through to the 4♦ turn which saw Reard lead for 700,000. Lingham responded with a raise to 2,100,000, and Reard put in the call.
On the repeat 4♣ river, Reard checked to Lingham who fired for 2,000,000 and Reard quickly called.
Vinny Lingham: 9♣4♥
Alexandre Reard: A♠4♠
Both players went runner-runner to make trip fours, but Reard's kicker played as he collected another substantial pot to extend his chip lead.

: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Fahredin Mustafov raised to 3,000,000 with 1,800,000 behind from the cutoff. In the big blind, Khoi Le Nguyen jammed and Mustafov called off his 4,800,000 stack.
Fahredin Mustafov: A♣10♦ 
Khoi Le Nguyen: A♠Q♥
Mustafov needed some help to survive as his ace was dominated. He found no such help on the A♥9♥5♥ flop as both players paired their ace but Nguyen also picked up a flush draw. The board ran out 4♦4♠ as Mustafov could improve no further, and Nguyen's kicker played to eliminate Mustafov in sixth.

Alexandre Reard jammed from the small blind covering and Vinny Lingham snapped it off for 4,100,000 from the big blind.
Vinny Lingham: A♥9♠
Alexandre Reard: K♥8♠
Lingham was ahead with ace-high but Reard held live cards, which he was able to pair on the Q♣J♦8♥ flop. Nothing changed on the board-pairing J♥ turn before the 5♥ ended Lingham's great run in fifth place, as he takes home $636,279 for his efforts.

Level 27
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Alexandre Reard limped in the small blind, prompting Khoi Le Nguyen to raise to 1,750,000. Reard called, and the two went to a flop.
The dealer fanned out a 9♦K♣9♠ flop, and Reard check-called a bet of 1,000,000.
The action was short and sweet from that point, as the players checked down on the A♣ turn and the 2♥ river.
Reard turned over 5♠5♥, which was enought to claim the pot, as Nguyen mucked his cards.

Level 28
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Khoi Le Nguyen jammed the small blind covering and Jun Obara quickly called from the big blind for his final 5,800,000.
Jun Obara: A♠7♥
Khoi Le Nguyen: K♠10♣
Obara was the slight favorite to double until the 10♦9♣4♣ flop paired Nguyen's ten. The 8♥ turn gave Obara an open-ender, but the Q♠ completed the board as Obara was left with ace-high, and he exited in fourth with a smile on his face, with an additional $879,939 consolation prize.
