Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Chris Hunichen raised to 26,000 in the hijack. Vinny Lingham called on the button, and Alex Kulev and Mikita Badziakouski followed in the blinds.

The quartet checked through the 5♦9♠3♠ flop, prompting Kulev to lead out for 23,000 on the 6♠ turn. Badziakouski quickly folded before Hunichen and Lingham called.

The J♦ river was checked to showdown. Kulev showed A♦6♦ for a pair of sixes, but Hunichen had rivered a higher pair with K♠J♥ to drag the pot.

Picking up the action on the 8♣2♣2♥ flop, Galen Hall in middle position checked to cutoff Dejan Kaladjurdjevic, who added 45,000 to the pot of 131,000 with a bet. Hall called, and the 6♥ was revealed as the turn.

Kaladjurdjevic sized up to 130,000, and Hall put in another check-call. Hall checked a third time when the 4♦ river hit the felt, seeing his opponent bet roughly 250,000, leaving himself only 1,000 behind.

Hall instantly dropped a calling chip in the middle. Kaladjurdjevic sheepishly showed K♠J♥, playing just the pair on the board, leaving Hall to rake in the big pot with 9♠8♠ for two pair.

The 6♠ river was quickly checked by the two players, first by Lingham who revealed A♥10♠ for two pair. Kulev sent his cards into the muck.

Ren Lin kicked off the action by opening to 20,000 from early position. Jesse Lonis called from the hijack, Daniel Negreanu called from the small blind and Gregory Jensen defended his big blind, taking the players four ways to the flop.

The K♠A♣J♦ board saw all check to the 5♠ turn. Negreanu checked, Jensen bet 40,000 and only Lonis called.

A 3♣ came on the river and Jensen check-called a 110,000 bet by Lonis. Lonis tabled his A♦10♣ for top pair and Jensen mucked his hand.

Barak Wisbrod raised to 20,000 in the hijack. Alex Foxen was in the cutoff and three-bet to 70,000, which Wisbrod called when the action had folded back to him.

Foxen continued for 66,000 on the Q♦9♥A♦ flop, seeing Wisbrod check-call. The 7♥ turn then checked through to the 2♠ river, where Wisbrod led out for 75,000.

Foxen quickly called, but he could not beat the A♠3♠ of Wisbrod and mucked his hand.

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Macchia opened to 20,000 from under the gun and was called by Vinny Lingham to his left and Mikita Badziakouski in the cutoff. Jared Bleznick on the button moved all-in for 314,000 and made Macchia and Lingham fold, but Badziakouski asked for a count. He ended up folding as well.

In the next hand, Badziakouski opened to 20,000 and was called by Ramiro Salinas and Michael Macchia, both in the blinds.

All three of them checked a flop of Q♣4♦J♥ leading to the A♠ turn. Salinas checked but Macchia bet 30,000. This bet was only called by Badziakouski.

Macchia fired a second barrel to 75,000 on the 5♥ turn but Badziakouski folded.

Preflop, Matthias Eibinger got his stack of roughly 500,000 in from the cutoff against Ren Lin on the button, being the player at risk.

Matthias Eibinger: Q♥Q♦ All in
Ren Lin: A♥K♥

Lin paired up on the K♣2♣3♦ flop, and Eibinger could not catch up on the remainder of the 5♠7♠ runout.

Eibinger saw Lin rake in his entire stack and said his goodbyes, while Aleksejs Ponakovs also departed from an adjacent table. Shortly after, Sergio Aido joined as the latest entry.

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei opened to 20,000 from the hijack and Samuel Mullur called from the cutoff. Action folded to John Kincaid who three-bet to 100,000 from the big blind and Rezaei four-bet to 215,000. Kincaid moved all in, putting his remaining stack of approximately 450,000 at risk and Rezaei called.

John Kincaid: A♣K♥All in
Daniel Rezaei: A♠A♦

The 2♣J♥5♦ flop didn't give Kincaid much to work with, and the 10♣ turn and 4♣ river saw to his swift elimination.
