Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A big pot was brewing between Artur Martirosian and Joao Simao as they went to the turn on a board of A♠3♣4♦J♥. Martirosian then bet 125,000 from the cutoff, and Simao called in the big blind.

The river was the A♥ and Simao moved all in for 165,000. Martirosian ended up burning through multiple time banks before calling, and Simao turned over A♦J♠5♣4♥ for a full house. Martirosian mucked K♦J♣2♦2♠, and Simao earned the double-up.

Dylan Weisman and Lautaro Guerra both quickly reentered.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jared Bleznick raised to 15,000 under the gun and was called by Christopher Frank in the hijack and Sam Soverel in the cutoff. Jesse Lonis then potted to 81,000 in the small blind, and all three opponents called.

"Are we all on freerolls? Is that what we're doing? Blez is going to bust us then buy us back in," Soverel said as they saw a flop of 9♣3♣3♦.

"This might be the toughest tournament in the world," Bleznick added.

Lonis then moved all in for 210,000 and Bleznick and Frank folded, but Soverel snap-called.

Jesse Lonis: A♦A♠5♠2♣ All in
Sam Soverel: Q♣Q♠3♠3♥

Lonis turned over two aces, but he was already drawing incredibly thin as Soverel had flopped quads. The board ran out 8♠J♦, and Lonis was sent to the rail.

"Is that one of the best hands of your life?" Bleznick asked Soverel.

"It's up there," Soverel replied.

Youness Barakat, Richard Gryko, and Jonathan Azoulay went to a flop of J♥8♣6♠ when Barakat potted to 102,000 from the big blind. Gryko then moved all in for 150,000 from under the gun and Azoulay folded, while Barakat called.

Richard Gryko: K♠Q♣Q♦7♠ All in
Youness Barakat: Q♠J♦10♣10♦

Gryko had the lead with his queens, while Barakat had top pair. The 6♣ turn was no help to Barakat and Gryko was poised for a double-up, but the river brought the 10♥ to give Barakat a set and Gryko was sent to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After three limps, David Benyamine in the big blind squeezed to 25,000 and was called by all three of his opponents.

The dealer fanned a flop of 2♠K♣8♠ and Santhosh Suvarna in the small blind directly moved all in for 65,000. Benyamine called, as well as Barrett Threadgill in the hijack.

Benyamine bet on the K♥ turn and he quickly made Threadgill fold.

Santhosh Suvarna: 7♠7♥5♠3♣ All in
David Benyamine: A♥K♦10♦9♠

The 6♥ river kept Benyamine's trips in the lead so Suvarna was eliminated.
