Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Kevin Ruscitti raised from under the gun to 1,200,000 and found a call from Hertsel Levy in early position. Action then folded around to Richard Geyer on the button, who moved all-in for his last 1,700,000. Both Ruscitti and Levy tossed in the additional 500,00 to make the call.

The flop came 5♦K♠9♦, the action went check-check and the dealer peeled off the J♠ as the turn card. Ruscitti checked again, but now Levy bet out for 6,000,000. Ruscitti instantly folded.

Richard Geyer: A♠10♦ All in
Hertsel Levy: K♦Q♥

Geyer needed a queen or an ace to stay alive, but no such luck when the J♣ came on the river and he was eliminated in 20th spot.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Narek Pananyan raised to 250,000 from under the gun and was called by Kieran Walsh on the button and Ronnie Bardah in the big blind.

The dealer revealed a 9♦9♠10♠ flop, Bardah checked, Narek Pananyan bet 2,000,000, Walsh folded, and Bardah went all in and was at risk for slightly more. Narek Pananyan made the call.

Ronnie Bardah: Q♦J♣ All in
Narek Pananyan: A♣J♦

The turn K♠ was music to Bardah's ears, and the A♦ on the river sealed a crucial double-up.

Big blind Nicola Bracchi joined the party with all of his 12,600,000 chips.

Justin Fawcett: A♦J♥ All in
Nicola Bracchi: A♥K♣ All in
Richard Geyer: Q♣Q♦
