Level 34

Jakob Miegel raised to 800,000 from middle position and Lok Chan three-bet to 2,100,000 from the cutoff. Simon Levy jammed with a covering stack from the button, forcing Miegel to fold. Chan took a few moments and then called for his stack of 7,000,000 total.
Lok Chan: J♦J♥
Simon Levy: K♥K♣
Chan was in a lot of trouble with pocket jacks versus the Cowboys of Levy. However, the flop of A♦10♣J♠ propelled Chan into the lead with a set. The rest of the board came 3♦8♥, and Chan cemented his double-up.

Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss jammed from early position for 4,450,000, and Lok Chan made the call from the hijack to put him at risk.
Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss: 7♥7♦
Lok Chan: A♣A♦
Nemeskeri-Kiss needed to find a seven if he was to remain in the tournament. The dealer fanned out a flop of 7♠4♦K♠ to give Nemeskeri-Kiss a set of sevens. The 9♣ turn and 8♥ river didn't improve Chan to a higher set, and Nemeskeri-Kiss doubled up to around ten million.

Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Jakob Miegel jammed for 6,000,000 from under the gun. The table folded all the way around to Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss in the big blind, who squeezed out his cards, and immediately made the call.
Jakob Miegel: 6♥6♣
Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss: Q♥Q♣
Nemeskeri-Kiss looked likely to win the pot, unless Miegel could find a six. The dealer delivered a board of 4♣2♣Q♠4♠5♣ to have Miegel drawing dead by the turn to Nemeskeri-Kiss' boat. The pot was pushed to Nemeskeri-Kiss, and Miefel was out in 26th place.

On the river 3♦, both players checked. Garcia showed A♦4♦ prompting Cao to muck his hand.
