Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Leonard Maue opened the cutoff to 50,000 and Joe Cada flatted on the button.

On the K♠J♦2♦ flop, Maue checked to Cada who bet 60,000 and Maue called.

Maue checked once more on the 5♥ turn before Cada sized up to 175,000 and Maue called again.

On the 6♥ river, Maue checked for a final time to Cada who cut out a bet of 325,000. Maue would go into the tank and burned through a time bank before he decided to flick in the call. He got the bad news as Cada tabled K♥Q♥ and his top pair was good enough for the win as he took a substantial pot off Maue.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Martin Zamani limped under the gun, Zdenek Zizka limped the hijack, Christopher Nguyen completed from the small blind, and David Chen checked his option in the big blind.

On the 9♠7♠5♣ flop, it checked to Zamani who bet 80,000 and Zizka called. Nguyen then check-raised to 280,000 and Chen folded. Zamani then announced all-in for 430,000 and Zizka flatted with 440,000 behind. Nguyen went deep into the tank before he announced all-in as the covering stack. However, since Zamani's all-in was not a full raise, Nguyen could only call.

On the J♥ turn, Nguyen jammed as Zizka called off his 440,000 stack.

Martin Zamani: 7♦7♣ All in
Zdenek Zizka: A♠8♠ All in
Christopher Nguyen: 10♠5♠

Zamani flopped a set while Zizka had the nut flush draw. Nguyen had a lesser flush draw but he also paired his five.

The J♣ fell on the river to give Zamani a full house to win the main pot, while Nguyen's pair of fives was good enough to win the side pot and eliminate Zizka.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jack Roser opened to 45,000 from the hijack and was called by Barak Wisbrod on the button, Andrew Pacheco in the small blind, and Shaun Deeb in the big blind to create a pot of an even 200,000 already.

On the 10♦9♠3♦ flop, the action checked to Roser who quickly put out a stack of green T-25,000 chips equal to a bet of 225,000. Wisbrod and Pacheco quickly folded before Deeb had a look at his cards, thought for ten seconds, and folded, showing the 10♣ face-up for top pair. It seems his read was correct as Roser revealed Q♦Q♣ as Deeb made the right fold while behind as he continues his hot start to the day.

Shaun Deeb	2,125,000 1,240,000	1,240,000

Wilson Turns Hemyari Away

Jacob Wilson

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Following a hijack open from Brandon Wilson, Keyavash Hemyari shoved from the small blind for 483,000. Brandon Wilson made the call.

Keyavash Hemyari: 7♦5♦ All in
Brandon Wilson: A♠J♥

The 5♠K♣10♦ flop did have Hemyari in the lead, but there were plenty of outs that he'd have to fade to survive in the high roller. The J♠ was one of them, meaning he needed to find two pair or trips on the river to stay in it. The 8♠ was no help, as he exited the tournament area.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kristen Foxen opened to 40,000 from under the gun before Alexandre Reard three-bet to 115,000 on her direct left, and Foxen called.

On the 9♣8♠3♣ flop, Foxen check-called a bet of 110,000 from Reard.

The J♠ turn checked through to the 5♠ river which saw Foxen check for a third time. After a small tank. Reard decided to do the same before Foxen showed 10♦10♣ which was enough for the win as Reard mucked and Foxen dragged a modest pot.
