Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

James Rodriguez open jammed from the cutoff for his remaining 1,700,000 and was called my Michael Destephen in the big blind who had just 1,175,000 behind.

Michael Destephen: A♥10♠All in
James Rodriguez: Q♣J♦

Rodriguez picked up on the Q♠7♦7♥ flop, but Destephen turned an ace, giving him a better two pair after the dealer placed the A♣.

A K♥ river didn't change the outcome and Destephen remained in the tournament, leaving Rodriguez sitting on just under three big blind.

Carmona Flops the Broadway

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Arash Sarraf opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Luis Yepez Carmona was the only caller from middle position.

The J♠10♣K♣ was check-called by Sarraf after Carmona bet out 300,000.

A 4♥ turn prompted Sarraf to check again, Carmona took some time before moving out 650,000 and Sarraf paid to see the 3♠ river.

Sarraf checked, Carmona paused before asking for 850,000, and it didn't take too long for Sarraf to call. Camona tabled his A♦Q♣ and took the pot having flopped the broadway straight after Sarraf mucked his hand.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Aaron Gao opened from under the gun and got his stack in against Benjamin Kniaz after Kniaz shoved from early position. Gao was at risk.

Aaron Gao: 5♠5♣All in
Benjamin Kniaz: A♠A♥

Gao ran into a big hand as Kniaz had the goods with pocket aces.

The flop did not alter the standings as it came 3♦J♠8♠.

The five never came on the 4♥ turn and the Q♦ river to bust Gao from the tournament.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

From middle position, Tj Shulman opened to 450,000, leaving behind around 50,000 with him. Kurt Paeper, in cutoff, shoved all-in for 550,000 in response, pushing the remaining players out of the hand.

When action went back to him, Shulman put in his remaining chips and asked, "What am I looking at here?" before tabling his hand.

Tj Shulman: K♣5♣ All in
Kurt Paeper: 10♣10♦

Paeper was ahead but the J♣2♣3♦ flop gave Shulman some hope for an upset. The dealer completed the board with a 9♠ turn and the 4♠ river, with no help to Shulman at all. Shulman left the table as Paeper scooped the pot.

Action folded to Joseph Buonomo in the small blind,, who moved all in and had Tianyu Zheng sat in the big blind easily covered. Zheng squeezed his cards and snap-called for his tournament life.

Tianyu Zheng: 6♣6♥ All in
Joseph Buonomo: A♣5♣

No dramas for Zheng on the 9♥9♣10♥ flop and when the 2♦ peeled off on the turn he just needed to dodge an ace to stay alive.

'Hold', he requested from the dealer who didn't hear and duly rolled off the A♦ on the river to send Zheng to the rail.
