Blanco: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Bazeley doubled.

Richard Robinson Eliminated in 82nd Place ($72,514)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Richard Robinson
Richard Robinson

Action folded around to the small blind where Richard Robinson dropped deep into the tank. After about two minutes, a clock was called, but before a floor person could even get to the table, Robinson moved all in for just over 1 million chips. Jonas Mackoff wasted no time calling from the big blind.

Robinson: {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Mackoff: {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out clean for Mackoff when it came {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}, improving neither player but keeping Mackoff in the lead and earning him the pot. Robinson was sent to the rail in 82nd place and collected $72,514 for his run in the Main Event.

Johns Ships Twice

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

After a cutoff open to 185,000 by Zu Zhou, Ian Johns shoved all in from the button for 1,105,000. Zhou folded after about a minute of thought.

Right after that, Cosmin Joldis opened under the gun for 180,000 under the gun and received a call from John Hesp. Johns called as well and it went three ways to {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Joldis checked, Hesp bet 300,000, and Johns shoved all in. After shutting off noisy phone calls twice, Hesp announced a fold.

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Nahum Shows Aces

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Kfir Nahum raised to 200,000 from under the gun and was called by Cosmin Joldis and Zu Zhou on the button. The flop fell {K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Nahum continued for 500,000. Joldis called before Zhou raised to 1,350,000. Nahum almost immediately moved all in and that forced a fold from Joldis.

Zhou asked for a count and Nahum was all in for 3,780,000 and Zhou reluctantly folded. "Want to see them?" Nahum asked, and without getting any reply, flashed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} for everyone to see.

Goldberg Doubles Through Silver

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Vas Nunes opened the action to 180,000. Max Silver called and Gregory Goldberg took a peek down at his cards and then moved all in for 1,400,000. Nunes folded and Silver called and didn't look to happy about it.

Gregory Goldberg: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Max Silver: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The flop was {10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and the action board game Silver two pair and Goldberg a set. The turn was the {6-Spades} changing nothing and the river was the {9-Spades} sending the pot and double up over to Goldberg who is off to a great start on the day.

Table 719: Hegele Extends Lead Quickly

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

In the first few hands of play, Dario Sammartino dropped about 800,000 and Robin Hegele has picked up that amount.

Sammartino folded to a couple of three-bets and tried to limp the small blind against Hegele. Hegele raised and Sammartino folded.

Sammartino opened the button to 170,000 and Hegele shoved all in with Arash Ghaneian behind. Both Ghaneian and Sammartino folded.

Then Hegele played a hand with Connor Drinan. The board read {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Drinan bet 200,000. Hegele called.

The river was the {k-Clubs} and Drinan bet 350,000. Hegele raised to 1,250,000 and Drinan folded, showing the {4-Diamonds}.

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Renato Prado Valentim
Renato Prado Valentim

Wen Zhou raised to 160,000 and Joseph Dipascale called from one seat over. Renato Prado Valentim three-bet to what appeared to be 750,000, and Zhou moved all in, which forced a fold from Dipascale. Valentim, however, called it off and was the player at risk.

Renato Prado Valentim: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Wen Zhou: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Valentim was well ahead, but only until the flop fell {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Zhou tapped the table as he improved to a set of eights while Valentim picked up some more outs with a flush draw on the {9-Hearts} turn. The blank {10-Clubs} river completed the board and Valentim had to settle for 83rd place and a payday of $72,514.

Turner Doubles Through Sklenicka

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Daniel Turner moved all in from the small blind for his final 1.2 million. Michael Sklenicka looked at his hole cards, then quickly called.

Turner: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Sklenicka: {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}

While the table waited for the camera crews to come over, players started taking sides on which hand would win. "The ten-eight has to win. It's just too pretty, right?" Scott Stewart joked.

Sure enough, the dealer put out a flop of {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}, giving Turner the flopped straight, and leaving Sklenicka drawing to runner-runner for a chop. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn sealed the double for Turner, who is up to 2.5 million after that fortunate flop.
