This hand was picked up on the turn with over 2,000,000 already in the middle of a board that read 7♦6♠10♣Q♠.
Mathew Seer bet 400,000 from the cutoff, but Russell Giordano wanted to play for more. Giordano popped it to 1,200,000 on the button.
Seer made the call to bring the A♣ river. Seer checked it over to Giordano, who went all-in on the river. Seer yielded with a fold as Giordano took down a big pot.
Usman Inayatullah open-jammed for 2,650,000 from the hijack and Ros Sok called on the button, leaving himself with 600,000 behind. No further action was seen, and the players were left to flip their cards.
Usman Inayatullah: K♠Q♥
Ros Sok: A♠10♣
The 6♠9♥Q♠ flop saw Inayatullah pick up top pair, which was enough to secure his seat after Sok didn't see any improvement on the 4♣ turn and J♠ river.
Action folded to Michael Disman in the hijack who moved all in for 4,500,000, only for Kenneth Baime to three-bet all in from the cutoff, and he had the table covered. All other players folded quickly.
Michael Disman: A♠J♣
Kenneth Baime: A♣Q♥
Not the door card Disman was looking for on the Q♠7♥5♦ flop, and when the Q♣ peeled off on the turn he was drawing dead the 6♣ river sealed the deal and Disman was sent to the rail.
Huanglin Wu and Omri Zaidman got entangled when Wu shoved from the small blind and was called by Zaidman to be at risk for 1,100,000.
Huanglin Wu: K♥6♥
Omri Zaidman: Q♣Q♦
Wu needed to spike a king to stay alive against the pocket queens of Zaidman, but the king never came on the A♦6♣A♠3♠5♥ runout to send Wu out of the tournament.
Level: 34
Blinds: 200,000/400,000
Ante: 400,000
Arin Youssefian moved all in from late position for 750,000, after Mathew Seer raised to 600,000 from early position. Seer called.
Arin Youssefian: A♦K♠
Mathew Seer: 5♦5♥
The board ran out as 8♦9♥6♠9♣7♦, and the straight would win it for Seer.
Michael Wagner began the hand with an open to 600,000 from early position and was called by Emil Malikov on the button.
Wagner did not slow down on the 9♥3♠5♥ flop and chose to bet 550,000.
Malikov called to bring the 5♦ turn. Wagner bet 1,500,000, which sent Malikov into the tank. After some consideration, Malikov opted to fold to award the pot to Wagner.
Karapet Galstyan open-jammed from the small blind covering Benjamin Kniaz's remaining ~1,800,000 stack. Kniaz didn't take too long to make the call and the players flipped their hands.
Benjamin Kniaz: A♥10♦
Karapet Galstyan: J♣5♣
Kniaz was looking strong, and the 8♠10♥Q♥ flop kept the hope alive. The 8♦ turn didn't change too much, but the 9♦ river saw Galstyan lock up the pot having rivered the straight.
Russell Giordano opened to 600,000 from early position. Joseph Buonomo called on the button, and Mathew Seer came along from the small blind to create a three-handed pot.
The 3♥9♠3♦ flop led to a check from Seer. Giordano cut out a bet of 1,800,000 and slid it toward the middle.
Buonomo and Seer both folded in response to yield the pot to Giordano.
Benjamin Kniaz moved all in from under the gun for 3,200,000 and action folded to Usman Inayatullah in late position who made the call, and it was he at risk. The rest of the table exited stage left sharply.
Usman Inayatullah: A♥A♦
Benjamin Kniaz: K♠K♣
No miracles for Kniaz on the 6♠6♣9♦J♥Q♥ runout and Inayatullah was sent the pot for a double up.
