Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 265,000 ante
Maxx Coleman
Maxx Coleman

Maxx Coleman opened to 875,000 from the cutoff. Hokyiu Lee reraised to 2,500,000 before Coleman responded with an all-in. Lee called to put Coleman at risk.

Maxx Coleman: A♠K♦9♦4♥All in
Hokyiu Lee: Q♣Q♦7♦4♠

Coleman needed to improve to stay in the tournament.

The flop gave Coleman additional outs when it came 10♣8♦5♦, as he gained a flush draw to go with his overcards.

The J♣ turn gave Coleman a gutshot straight draw, but he bricked out on everything on the 9♥ river to be eliminated in fifth place.

Coleman earned $117,950 for his finish.

Jason Zipfel potted from the button, and Michael Estes repotted for nearly his whole stack from the big blind. Zipfel moved in and Estes called off.

Michael Estes: A♥K♦Q♥Q♣ All in
Jason Zipfel: K♣K♥9♥5♦

Estes picked up a huge sweat on the 6♥10♣2♥ flop, as now a heart would do the job for him as well as a queen. The 6♣ turn was no good, and the K♠ river was overkill as Zipfel made top boat, and Estes gracefully said his goodbyes.

Coleman Stays Alive

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 265,000 ante

Jason Zipfel potted from the small blind and Maxx Coleman moved all in from the big. Zipfel made the call.

Maxx Coleman: K♥K♣9♦2♣ All in
Jason Zipfel: A♣K♠10♦9♠

Zipfel’s rail were rooting for spades, and they got two on the 2♠J♥5♠ flop. The 9♥ turn and 9♣ river improved each player, but the boat of Coleman allowed him to take down the pot over Zipfel’s trips.

Will Givens opened to 500,000 from hijack. Thanhlong Nguyen made it pot for 1,875,000 from the cutoff, leaving only 275,000 behind. Phillip Mighall put in his final 400,000 total from the big blind to be at risk. Givens made the call as Nguyen and Givens took a flop.

The Q♦6♠K♦ flop led to a bet of 275,00 from Givens. Nguyen put his stack in as both Nguyen and Mighall were at risk.

Phillip Mighall: 4♠4♥2♠2♦All in
Thanhlong Nguyen: A♥A♠7♣3♠All in
Will Givens: K♥10♥7♠5♠

Nguyen was ahead with his pair of aces, but Givens had plenty of outs with his top pair, and Mighall was chasing a set.

The 5♣ turn upgraded Givens to two pair, and the 5♦ river gave him a full house to score the double elimination.

Mighall earned $51,620 for his ninth-place effort, while Nguyen would score $67,310 for his eighth-place finish.

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 265,000 ante

Thanhlong Nguyen opened with a pot-sized raise to 875,000 from the cutoff. Phillip Mighall took some time in the big blind to come to a decision. He opted on a call.

On a flop of 4♠10♣6♠ Mighall shoved, and Nguyen snapped off. "Big flop," Mighall told his rail.

Thanhlong Nguyen: A♠A♦J♥10♦ All in
Phillip Mighall: 10♠8♣7♣5♦

Mighall had flopped massive, but the A♣ turn ruined his two pair outs. He needed a flush or a straight, but neither came as Mighall boated up on the 10♥ river to seal his survival.

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

Phillip Mighall raised to 700,000, leaving only 125,000 behind. Will Givens called in the small blind, and Thanhlong Nguyen defended his big blind to create a three-handed pot.

The A♣Q♣2♠ flop was checked by both blinds before Mighall put in his final 125,000. Both Givens and Nguyen called.

The 4♥ turn and Q♥ river were checked down by both Givens and Nguyen.

Mighall showed A♠K♠J♣7♥ for two pair, which was good enough to secure the triple-up as neither Givens or Nguyen could show better.
