David Salituro

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

On the last hand of the night, Zhao Liu shoved for 8,250,000 in the cutoff and Lucas Jumalon reraised to 19,825,000 in the small blind to chase away the rest of the table.

Zhao Liu: Q♠9♦ All in
Lucas Jumalon: A♠K♠

Liu's hopes of survival were quickly dashed when the A♦A♣2♣ flop gave Jumalon trips. The 2♦ turn improved him to a full house, and Liu was left drawing dead going to the 4♠ river as the former chip leader was eliminated in 22nd place.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Kyosuke Nagami raised to 5,000,000 from the cutoff with 700,000 behind and Daniel Savas in the small blind three-bet to 10,000,000. It folded back to Nagami, who called all in, and both players turned over the following pocket pairs.

Kyosuke Nagami: J♦J♣ All in
Daniel Savas: Q♥Q♦

The Japanese rail, including WSOP Player of the Year contender Naoya Kihara, yelled out when the flop came K♣J♠3♠. However, the Q♣ turn was a dagger in the hopes of Nagami, leaving him with just one out. No miracle came with the 2♣ river and Savas earned the knockout with his set of queens.

Two years ago, Nagami finished in 21st place and now he bowed out in 23rd place for $325,000.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Evagoras Evagorou raised to 1,125,000 under the gun and Giuseppe Pantaleo moved all in for 4,225,000 in middle position. Tolga Karakaya then reshoved for 9,925,000 on the button and Zhao Liu called in the small blind, while Evagorou took a minute before folding.

Giuseppe Pantaleo: A♠J♠ All in
Tolga Karakaya: Q♥Q♣ All in
Zhao Liu: A♣K♥

Liu had a chance to eliminate both players if he could win the race against Karakaya's queens, while Pantaleo was dominated by both opponents. The flop came 8♣6♦5♦ to keep Karakaya in the lead, and the rest of the board ran out 10♦2♠.

Karakaya scooped the pot to earn the double up off Liu, while Pantaleo was sent to the rail in 25th place.

Tianle Wang raised to 1,000,000 under the gun and Malcolm Trayner three-bet to 2,500,000 in the cutoff. Wang then moved all in for 5,900,000, and Trayner called.

Tianle Wang: Q♠Q♣ All in
Malcolm Trayner: A♥5♥

Wang had found two queens and was a favorite to double up as the flop came 10♣5♠2♣, but Trayner spiked the A♣ on the turn to make two pair. Wang was looking to complete a flush draw or hit another queen on the river, but he missed the 9♥ and was eliminated in 28th place.

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Blake Barousse opened to 800,000 from the hijack and Rami Hammoud called from the button.

Barousse, who had no time banks, check-called bets of 600,000 and 1,800,000 on the flop and turn for the board to read K♦9♥3♥2♥7♣.

Barousse, who had around 5,600,000 behind, checked and Hammoud moved all in as the bigger stack. Barousse thought for about 5 to 10 seconds and called for his tournament life.

Hammoud tabled K♠9♠ for kings and nines, and Barousse mucked. As the latter exited, the dealer turned over his hand, showing K♥10♠.
