Peter Li bet 2,000,000 on a flop of 10♠8♠9♣. Jeremy Scemama moved all in with his last 2,500,000 chips, and Li called.
Jeremy Scemama: K♦Q♠
Peter Li: J♣J♦
Not only did Li have the better of it with the pair of jacks and an open-ended straight draw, he was holding two of the four cards that could give Scemama a higher straight.
The turn and river 9♠10♥ brought no help and Scemama was knocked out.
Justin Kil raised to 800,000 on the button, Kent Stephens called in the small blind and the big blind folded.
Stephens decided to lead for 600,000 when the flop came J♦4♥2♥, Kil called. Stephens checked on the K♠ turn and Kil fired out a bet of 1,075,000, Stephens called.
Action went check-check on the 10♦ river. Kil scooped the pot with K♥3♥.
Ryan Cooper raised to 825,000 from the cutoff, and Rocco Iati three-bet to 4,000,000 from the small blind with just 500,000 behind. Qing Sun cold-called from the big blind, prompting Cooper to jam for around 7,700,000 total.
Sun snap-called out of turn, and Cooper turned over pocket aces with Iati still to act. Iati thought for a while to ladder up the pay jump, and once it was secured, he put in the call.
Rocco Iati: 4♣4♦
Ryan Cooper: A♣A♦
Qing Sun: A♠K♠
Cooper had the preflop nuts and if he could fade a bad runout, would boost his stack to one of the biggest in the tournament.
The 7♣6♦9♥ flop left Sun needing running kings to win the pot.
A 4♥ hit the turn to all but secure the triple-up for Iati, and when the Q♣ completed the board, Iati tripled up, Cooper lost a small chunk of chips, while Sun took the biggest hit after losing around half his stack.
Rafael Gonzalez was given an option as action folded round, and Sheldon Phelps flat called from the small blind. He chose to shove his 3,500,000, and Phelps unenthusiastically made the call.
Rafael Gonzalez: K♠10♠
Sheldon Phelps: Q♥J♠
The 5♣9♥A♦8♥10♣ runout caused some confusion, before the players realized that Phelps had runner-runnered the nuts to knock out his tablemate.
The hand was picked up after the flop and turn brought 2♣7♦9♦8♠.
Paul Interrante moved all in and Yibo Song made the call with a slightly smaller stack of 6,700,000.
Yibo Song: 8♣8♦
Paul Interrante: 10♣6♣
Song's excitement at having turned a set of eights was quelled by the fact that the crazy eight delivered a gutshot straight for Interrante.
When the board didn't pair on the river K♠, Song was done. But he did leave with an additional $25,000, as earlier he snagged the final bounty of that amount.
Justin Kil opened under the gun to 600,000. Action folded all the way to big blind player David Prociak, who slid in the call.
Action checked through on the A♣8♠7♠ flop, before Prociak check-called a bet of 1,050,000 on the Q♣ turn. Action checked through yet again on the 5♥ river, and Prociak's second pair with 8♦2♦ was enough to scoop the pot.
The final Gold Chest bounty has been pulled, with Yibo Song being the one to take home an extra $25,000. Yibo Song is still in the tournament with 55 players left, sitting on a higher-than-average stack of 11,000,000
Level: 33
Blinds: 200,000/400,000
Ante: 400,000
Douglas Chang raised to 800,000 from early position, Alexander Kaviani called in the big blind.
The flop came 4♠A♥4♣, and both players checked.
Action checked on the K♥ turn and Chang decided to lead on the Q♦ river for 800,000, Chang called quickly and tabled K♦J♣ which was good to take the pot as Kaviani tabled J♥8♣.
