Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sean Troha opened up the action to 35,000 on the button. Big blind Jianqiang Yu reraised it to 110,000, and Troha called, leaving himself just 23,000 behind. Yu then put Troha all in on a flop of 3♦9♣3♥ and Troha waited, made the pay jump, then called.

Sean Troha: A♥K♣J♣6♣ All in
Jianqiang Yu: K♠K♥10♦2♠

Troha needed an ace or running clubs to stay alive. The Q♠ turn removed any possibility of a flush, but he now had outs to a gutshot. The 6♦ river bricked, and Yu carried on adding to his already huge stack.

James Cavanaugh led out for 75,000 from the big blind after the K♠6♥A♠ flop. Jianqiang Yu announced a raise in the cutoff, betting enough to put his opponent all in.

"I have top set and a straight draw, I guess I'm putting it in," said Cavanaugh as he made the call.

James Cavanaugh: A♣A♦J♦10♥ All in
Jianqiang Yu: K♣K♦8♠2♠

Cavanaugh was in front after both players flopped a set, but the 3♠ turn gave Yu a flush. Cavanaugh could not improve on the J♠ river, ending his tournament run as Yu added to his growing stack.

Lagodich fired out a bet of 55,000 on a flop of Q♣A♥10♥, and Mosier called. Lagodich bet again when the 8♠ hit the turn for 165,000, Mosier took his time before he decided to move all in for roughly 360,000.

Lagodich picked up his cards and frustratingly mucked them.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Andreas Zampas opened the action from the hijack, as he put in a raise to 35,000. Renji Mao then announced "pot" on the button, before Sean Troha repotted it from the small blind, putting himself all in for 406,000. Zampas took a decent amount of time before folding, before Mao announced "not very ideal," before calling. "Lots of outs," he said, hopefully, upon seeing the cards.

Renji Mao: A♣Q♣Q♦10♣ All in
Sean Troha: A♥A♠J♠K♣

The 8♣J♥8♦ flop didn't change too much, but the 2♣ turn gave Mao a flush draw. He didn't hit it, however the 9♥ river gave him a queen high straight, for a big double right before the table broke.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andreas Zampas	816,000 39,000	39,000
Renji Mao	533,000 227,000	227,000
