Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Chi Zhang

Joining the action on the {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, table and tournament chip leader Chi Zhang and Metin Aksoy got into a raising war and the latter ended up shoving for around 135,000. Zhang looked him up and the cards were tabled.

Metin Aksoy: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Chi Zhang: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The {K-Diamonds} turn gave Zhang the better set and several players at the table gasped. A blank {6-Hearts} river didn't change the outcome of the hand anymore and Zhang may very well be the first player above one million in chips soon.

A short-stacked Guy Pariente shoved for 58,000 and Mazin Khoury called with the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} in the big blind. Pariente had {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} and saw the board run out {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Then, the biggest hand of the tournament thus far was played between Asi Moshe and Gregory Baird. Pete Chen opened to 12,000 and Moshe three-bet to 42,500 in the small blind. Baird only called in the big blind and Chen folded. On the {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Moshe continued for 42,500 and was called and then fired 82,000 on the {10-Hearts} turn.

The {10-Spades} river completed a possible flush and Moshe shoved for 148,000 in total. Baird called with pocket aces and Moshe showed {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for trips deuces to rake in a massive double.

Seth Berger called in the big blind with {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and the board ran out {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{K-Hearts} to eliminate Kuzmin. Christopher Frank followed Kuzmin to the payout desk right after to reduce the field by two.

Cooler!

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Charalampos Lappas was in early position and raised to 12,000. Sadan Turker was in middle position and three-bet to 35,000. Matthew Bucciero was in the big blind and called, putting action back on Lappas. After thinking for a bit, he announced, "All in." Turker snap-called for his remaining 172,000 and Bucciero mucked.

Turker showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Lappas tabled {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and Turker took down this huge set-up hand.

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Linglin Zeng raised to 12,000 on the button and Eric Cloutier three-bet to 24,000 from one seat over in the small blind. Zeng called and Cloutier continued for 10,000 on the {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, which Zeng called. Cloutier checked the {5-Spades} turn and Zeng bet 27,000 before folding to a shove.

In the next hand, James Romero raised to 15,000 and Tony Armand called, as did Zeng. On the {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, the action checked to Zeng and she shoved for 68,000. Romero folded but Armand called with a very similar stack.

Linglin Zeng: {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Tony Armand: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The {A-Clubs} turn improved Zeng to a flush and the {2-Spades} on the river was of no help for Armand. His stack was counted and he was covered by just 1,000 to join the rail.

The flop was {k-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Sabat check-called Abdellatif's bet of 26,000.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Sabat check-called Abdellatif's bet of 44,000.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and both players checked. Sabat tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and Abdellatif mucked.
