Steven Daly shoved from the small blind for 2,950,000 and was called by Chung-Tang Lin from the big blind to be at risk for it all.
Steven Daly: A♦7♥
Chung-Tang Lin: K♥2♣
Daly pulled further ahead on the 10♦7♥5♦ flop when he paired his seven.
The 8♣ kept Daly in line for a double-up, and the 6♥ river clinched it for Daly as he scored the double-up against Lin.
Jason Wheeler opened to 1,300,000 for the second hand in a row, this time from early position. Action folded to Nishant Sharma on the button, who cut out raising chips.
He slid out 3,500,000, and action folded to Wheeler who took some time before coming to a decision. Eventually, he returned his cards to the dealer.
Steven Daly moved all in for 1,475,000 under the gun. Action folded to small blind Nishant Sharma who announced all in, and big blind Javier Fernandez folded.
Steven Daly: Q♠9♥
Nishant Sharma: K♦7♥
A seven in the window seemingly kept Sharma in the lead, but the full 2♦9♠7♠ flop had him drawing. The Q♣ turn, although improving Daly, didn't change the outs of Sharma, who still needed a king or a seven.
The 4♥ river sealed the deal, as Daly lived to fight another day.
Steven Daly open-jammed all in from middle position for around 5,300,000 and action folded to Ian Schechter in the small blind who called all in for less. The big blind folded.
Ian Schechter: Q♥Q♦
Steven Daly: A♥10♠
A nice low flop of 6♦4♥9♠ came for Schechter and the K♠ turn changed nothing. The brick 6♥ on the river sealed the deal and Schechter was pushed the pot for a double-up.
Jason Wheeler limped from the small blind, which led to a check by Atanas Pavlov in the big blind.
Wheeler led out for 600,000 on the K♦J♣K♠ flop, but Pavlov made the call.
The 6♠ slowed Wheeler down as he checked. Pavlov took the initiative with a bet of 1,925,000, which was enough to get the job done as Wheeler made the fold.
It folded to Nishant Sharma in the small blind before he opted to shove. Javier Fernandez peeked at his hand and instantly called to be at risk for 4,075,000.
Javier Fernandez: K♦K♥
Nishant Sharma: 6♠3♣
Sharma waved his hand as soon as he saw the kings to signal his jam ran into it as Sharma was well ahead with his pocket pair.
Fernandez flopped a set when it came 6♣10♥K♣ to gain a significant lead.
The A♦ turn sealed the deal, making the 5♥ river procedural as Fernandez scored the double in a blind versus blind scenario.
Level: 36
Blinds: 300,000/600,000
Ante: 600,000
Alexandru Vasilescu raised to 3,800,000 from the cutoff leaving himself 2,600,000 behind and action folded to Chung-Tang Lin on the button who again squeezed his cards and then moved all in. Action came back to Vasilescu who snap-called for his tournament life.
Alexandru Vasilescu: A♣10♦
Chung-Tang Lin: 9♠9♦
No help for Vasilescu on the 6♣Q♥8♣K♦2♦ runout and he was sent to the cage in eighth place.
Action folded to Alexander Voros in the small blind who open-jammed all in for 3,900,000. Chung-Tang Lin sat in the big blind squeezed his cards and then asked for the count, before the dealer had finished Lin made the call.
Alexander Voros: 2♦2♠
Chung-Tang Lin: A♥9♠
Not the flop Voros wanted to see came of 5♦A♦6♥ and Lin took the lead. No deuce on the K♠ turn nor the 3♣ river and Voros was sent to the rail in ninth place.
Nadav Avrahami decided to commit all but 50,000 of his chips when he raised to 1,200,000 from middle position. Nishant Sharma opted to shove in response from the next seat over before Avrahami put in his final 50,000 to be at risk for 1,250,000 total.
Nadav Avrahami: Q♦6♦
Nishant Sharma: A♦K♥
Avrahami had a fair shot to double up, but the flop gave him little to work with when the dealer fanned out 4♣7♦J♣ to keep Sharma ahead.
The 2♠ turn changed nothing, and the 4♥ river was the final card of Avrahami's tournament as he was eliminated in 10th place.
Avrahami scored $13,730 for his finish.
