Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Shoichiro Hamada shoved his big blind following an open from Xiaoyao Ma in the hijack. Ma made the call when action returned to him.

Shoichiro Hamada: K♠9♠ All in
Xiaoyao Ma: K♦Q♠

Hamada did have hope on the turn, but his flush draw bricked on the full 10♦5♠A♣4♠7♦ runout, ending his run with slightly more than a mincash.

Matthew Wantman opened the cutoff to 160,000 before Ryan Feldman jammed for 1,175,000 from the small blind, and Wantman snapped it off.

Ryan Feldman: A♦Q♣ All in
Matthew Wantman: A♠A♣

Feldman was in very rough shape against the aces of Wantman but he found some life on the Q♥3♦2♠ flop. However, he could not find any additional help on the 3♣6♠ runout as Wantman eliminated Feldman in 23rd.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dale Roesel jammed for around 600,000 from the cutoff and Manuel Fritz snapped it off in the big blind.

Dale Roesel: A♦9♦ All in
Manuel Fritz: A♠10♠

Roesel needed some help with his dominated ace as the flop came A♥6♣2♦. Some chop-outs were presented on the J♣ turn before the 2♠ river secured the chop for Roesel as he survived.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dale Roesel open-shoved under the gun for his remaining 660,000. Jun Obara flatted the all-in next to act, and everyone else got out of the way.

Dale Roesel: A♦2♦ All in
Jun Obara: A♥Q♠

Roesel couldn't find another chop, or a double, as the K♠9♥J♥4♣6♥ runout kept his opponent in the lead the entire way, sending him to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Leonard Maue raised to 160,000 in the hijack and in the small blind, Jovan Kenjic moved all in for 705,000 which saw only Maue call.

Jovan Kenjic: 8♥8♠ All in
Leonard Maue: K♣10♥

The board ran out 8♣4♠3♥6♣5♦ and the set of eights was good for Kenjic to take down the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

There was blind on blind violence as Manuel Fritz ripped it from the small, only to be snapped off by Xiaoyao Ma, who had a shorter stack, from the big.

Xiaoyao Ma: A♥9♠ All in
Manuel Fritz: Q♦7♦

Ma found himself ahead preflop, but behind post as the 7♥K♣5♠10♣J♥ runout sealed his elimination.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv raised to 160,000 from the hijack and Fahredin Mustafov called on the button. In the small blind Leonard Maue three-bet to 650,000 which saw action fold back to Plesuv who moved all in for 1,900,000 total. Mustafov folded while Maue took one look back at his hand and called.

Pavel Plesuv: J♣J♠ All in
Leonard Maue: K♥K♦

The board ran out 3♠5♦4♣Q♥6♦ and the kings was good for Maue to take a sizable pot while Plesuv was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened the hijack to 160,000 before Shaun Deeb three-bet to 475,000 from the cutoff. In the big blind, Martin Zamani cold four-bet to 1,200,000 and Reard quickly folded.

"How much are you playing, Martin?" Deeb inquired.

Zamani laughed and replied, "I don't know," before Deeb jammed for 5,275,000, and Zamani called as the covering stack.

Shaun Deeb: A♥Q♠ All in
Martin Zamani: A♣K♦

"I just can't fold to you," Deeb admitted as the 5♦5♣3♥ flop brought some chop-outs for Deeb. However, it was not meant to be as the board ran out 4♠10♥ and Deeb was eliminated by Zamani who has vaulted himself into the chip lead.

Quads for Nguyen

Brett Slezak

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action picked up on the river to a completed board of 4♣2♠2♥4♥3♦ with a little over 1,000,000 in the middle in a hand between Khoi Le Nguyen from the small blind and Sam Soverel from the big blind.

Nguyen led with a bet of 1,000,000 and Soverel called fairly quick. He got the bad news as Nguyen tabled 4♠4♦ for turned quads, as Soverel showed the 2♦ as he had a full house himself in a cooler scenario.

Khoi Le Nguyen	4,975,000 750,000	750,000
Sam Soverel	3,350,000 525,000	525,000
