Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 200,000 ante
Andrew Moreno
Andrew Moreno

Andrew Moreno limped out of the small blind and Diego Sanchez checked his option from the big blind.

Moreno led out for 500,000 on a flop of {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades} and was called.

Action checked through the {k-Hearts} turn to the {7-Clubs} river where Moreno sized up a bet to 2,750,000. Sanchez thought long and hard but ultimately made the call. Moreno turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the stone cold nuts while Sanchez mucked to leave himself relatively short stacked.

Ankush Mandavia Eliminated in 4th Place ($224,508)

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 200,000 ante
Ankush Mandavia
Ankush Mandavia

Ankush Mandavia opened to 3,000,000 from the button, leaving himself around 900,000 behind. Andrew Moreno called out of the small blind while the big blind folded to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

Moreno bet enough to force his opponent all in on the {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and Mandavia called to put himself at risk.

Ankush Mandavia: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Andrew Moreno: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Mandavia was in bad shape and would need a lot of help to survive. Any hopes of a double up were dashed on the {7-Diamonds} turn, which left Mandavia drawing dead to the meaningless {3-Diamonds} river.

Action checked through the {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop and the {10-Hearts} turn to the {5-Clubs} river where Hong checked for a third time. As Moreno was counting out betting chips, Hong mucked his hand.

Arsenii Karmatckii: {a-Diamonds}{4-}
Andrew Moreno: {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Moreno had rivered two pair to send Karmatckii out of the tournament in 5th place, a result good for $165,791.

James Romero Eliminated in 6th Place ($129,041)

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
James Romero
James Romero

Jinho Hong opened to 600,000 from under the gun and Arsenii Karmatckii three-bet to approximately 2,500,000 in the hijack, representing the majority of his stack. Action folded to James Romero in the small blind and he cold four-bet jammed for approximately 9,800,000. Hong called and had Romero covered, and Karmatckii thought about it and folded.

James Romero: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Jinho Hong: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

A crowd of people gathered around to witness the massive flip with a huge amount of equity on the line.

The dealer spread the {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop as the rail started to get even louder with anticipation. The {4-Hearts} turn left Romero needing an ace or king to survive, but the {5-Hearts} river bricked out and Hong's rail exploded as the South Korean player took a sizable chip lead.

Meanwhile, Romero was eliminated in sixth place following his deep run, good for $129,041.

Hong Chips Up

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jinho Hong limped from the small blind and Arsenii Karmatckii checked his option out of the big blind.

Hong led out for 300,000 on a flop of {q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and called when Karmatckii raised to 850,000.

Action checked through the {6-Hearts} turn to the {7-Clubs} river where, after some consideration, Hong fired off 950,000. That was enough to get Karmatckii to release his holding and send Hong climbing up the chip counts.

Jinho Hong
Jinho Hong

Jinho Hong opened to 600,000 under the gun and Diego Sanchez defended the big blind.

The dealer spread the {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and Sanchez check-called for 450,000.

The {8-Spades} fell on the turn, Sanchez checked, and Hong moved forward a stack of yellow T-100,000 chips for a bet of around 2,000,000. Sanchez thought for some time, but ultimately sent his cards into the muck to concede the pot to the South Korean player.
