Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

James Lauer moved all in for 1,750,000 in the cutoff and Richard Rossetti called in the small blind.

James Lauer: K♦3♦ All in
Richard Rossetti: K♣Q♦

Lauer was crushed by Rossetti's better king, but he picked up some hope on the 7♦2♥2♦ flop with a flush draw. The 8♦ turn gave him his flush.

"Let's go! Still in it!" Lauer shouted out as the 5♣ completed the board.

"It's been awhile since you won a hand," Chadd Beatty said from the other table.

"Jimmy, how much you got?" someone yelled out from across the room.

"Enough," Lauer replied.

"He has more than me," Beaty added.

"2.6 big blinds. 40 million. He has half the chips in play," Craig Robertson said.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Derek Childress raised to 500,000 in the cutoff before Craig Robertson moved all in for 3,950,000 in the big blind. Childress then went deep into the tank until another tablemate called the clock.

"This is a final table call, but we're not at the final table yet," Childress said as he eventually folded, saying he had two eights.

The next hand, Robert Hwang raised to 400,000 under the gun and Childress three-bet to 1,400,000 in the hijack. Hwang quickly folded. "I feel better now," Childress said.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

After Mark Donly limped in from the cutoff, Paul Spitzberg raised to 600,000 on the button and only Coleem Chestnut called in the small blind.

Both players checked the 5♦3♠2♠ flop. Chestnut then bet 1,100,000 on the Q♦ turn, and Spitzberg raised to 2,800,000. Chestnut immediately splashed in a pile of chips to put Spitzberg all in.

"I guess I'm going home," Spitzberg said as he called for another 2,000,000. He showed A♥J♣, but Chestnut had flopped a straight with A♦4♦. The river was the 5♣, and Spitzberg was eliminated in 15th place.

Donly doubled up for 650,000 the next hand when his 7♠7♦ won a race against James Lauer's A♦10♥ on a board of 8♦4♣4♥8♥3♦.
