Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Daniel Zack limped in from the small blind, and Richard Gryko potted to 900,000 from the big. Zack made the call, then checked on the 3♠3♣6♥ flop. Gryko bet out for 700,000, but Zack started carving out raising chips. He threw out 1,200,000, which the dealer added 200,000 to for it to become a legal raise. Gryko folded quickly.

Daniel Zack limped from the small blind and Richard Gryko checked his option out of the big blind.

Both players checked the 4♥7♦8♦ flop to see the Q♠ appear on the turn. Zack led out for 450,000, which Gryko called.

Another two checks followed the 6♠ river, and Zack revealed Q♣Q♦7♠6♥ for a set of queens to win the pot.

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened up the action with a button raise to 625,000, and Richard Gryko defended his big blind. Both players checked on a flop of 7♦9♥J♣ which brought in the 7♠ on the turn. Here, Gryko led out for 700,000, and Mustafov put in the call.

Gryko then checked the Q♥ river, prompting Mustafov to slide 1,800,000 in the middle. Gryko put him all in for just over 5,000,000, and Mustafov couldn't have called quicker, as he showed K♦J♥9♠7♥ for a full house. However, Gryko had rivered the best of it with Q♠Q♣10♦9♣ to rake in a huge pot, and bring the table down to just four.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

When it folded to Fahredin Mustafov in the small blind, he raised to 750,000, and Daniel Zack defended out of the big blind.

The two players saw the flop come down A♥5♦Q♣. Mustafov jammed for about 2,000,000, and Zack made the call.

Fahredin Mustafov: A♠K♠J♣3♣ All in
Daniel Zack: A♣Jx8♣2♣

Thr K♥ turn and K♣ river improved Mustafov to a full house, and he doubled up again through Zack.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened to 650,000 under the gun, and only Zachary Schwartz made the call, as he defended his big blind. He then checked the K♠6♥6♦ flop, allowing Mustafov to bet out for 325,000. He wouldn't see a turn for that price, however, as Schwartz made a check-raise to 900,000, which Mustafov called.

Schwartz continued for 1,300,000 on the 10♦ turn, and yet again Mustafov made the call. Schwartz then shoved the 8♣ river, forcing Mustafov out of the pot.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov made it 650,000 from the small blind, and Daniel Zack defended his big blind.

Mustafov bet 400,000 on the K♣Q♦Q♥ flop, which Zack called.

The J♦ fell on the turn, and Mustafov knuckled the action to Zack. Zack fired 600,000, and Mustafov stuck around with a call.

The 4♣ appeared on the river, causing Mustafov to check. Zack bet 1,500,000, and it was Mustafov's turn to go into the tank. After around ninety seconds, Mustafov flicked his cards into the muck and forfeited the pot to Zack.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Joshua Ladines opened the action from the cutoff, as he potted it to 875,000. Fahredin Mustafov then repotted from the small blind to 2,875,000, and Ladines, after some consideration, elected to just call. He left 1,025,000 behind. On the 9♥K♣6♣ flop Mustafov shoved and Ladines snapped.

Joshua Ladines: A♣Q♣J♦8♠ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: K♥K♦4♦2♠

Ladines needed to hit his gutshot or a club to survive, and the A♠ turn offered him no help, but the 4♣ river gave him the nuts, as yet another short-stack doubled up. "Chip dumping," joked Mustafov pointing around the table, in reference to the lack of knockouts in the past hour.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Daniel Zack raised to 650,000 from the hijack and Fahredin Mustafov potted it to 2,075,000 from the big blind. Zack made the call to see a flop.

Mustafov jammed for 3,550,000 upon seeing the 6♠Q♠10♦ flop, and after pondering for a while, Zack made the call with the covering stack.

Fahredin Mustafov: K♠K♣J♠4♠ All in
Daniel Zack: 8♦7♠6♦5♥

Mustafov needed to win this hand to stay in contention for his first WSOP bracelet. The 5♠ turn gave Zack two pair, but Mustafov a flush. Zack couldn't fill up on the 4♦ river, and almost half of his stack was sent to Mustafov.

Freeroll then Freerolled

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Zachary Schwartz opened to 750,000 under the gun, before Joshua Ladines repotted to 2,375,000 from the big blind. Schwartz shoved and Ladines snapped.

Joshua Ladines: K♠K♣J♣5♥ All in
Zachary Schwartz: K♦K♥7♥5♠

The 9♣A♥4♣ gave both players backdoor draws, with the 4♣ turn only bringing in Ladines', as he freerolled his opponent. However, the Q♠ river brought no blood, and the two chopped the pot.

The very next hand, Richard Gryko opened to 650,000, and Ladines three-bet potted yet again, this time for slightly less, as the value was 2,200,000. Gryko made the call, then snap-called a shove on the 9♠6♠Q♥ flop.

Joshua Ladines: A♣K♥J♠10♣ All in
Richard Gryko: K♣J♣10♠7♥

Both players had the same wrap, and Ladines was in the lead with ace-high but Gryko's seven meant that an eight would award him the full pot. The 10♥ turn gave both players the nut straight, and the freeroll began. The Q♠ river meant that for a second time, Ladines would chop for his tournament life.

Richard Gryko	11,800,000 625,000	625,000

Zachary Schwartz	9,850,000 25,000	25,000
