Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Benjamin Nguyen, under the gun, opened for 240,000, and Rajagopal Sankaranarayanan in the cutoff called to see a flop of 5♥2♦9♥. Nguyen check-called Sankaranarayanan's bet of 150,000.

Sankaranarayanan continued the pressure with 375,000 on the A♣ turn after action was passed to him. Nguyen, unfazed, called.

The same thing happened a third time on the 5♦ river, where Nguyen called Sankaranarayanan's hefty 1,100,000 bet.

Sankaranarayanan turned over 9♦9♣ for a rivered full house, prompting Nguyen to throw his hand in the muck.

In the cutoff, Warren Friedman shoved all-in for 450,000, and Paul Merlette in the big blind called.

Warren Friedman: Q♦6♠All in
Paul Merlette: K♣Q♠

Merlette had Friedman dominated, but the flop came 8♦9♣6♥, pushing Friedman ahead with a pair of sixes. Merlette was still hoping for his king to hit the board, but the turn fell 10♣, and the river showed 5♠. Friedman fist pumped, happy to have survived.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jesse Herron open-jammed for 820,000 from early position and Itai Levy in cutoff called. After action folded around, the two players headed to showdown.

Jesse Herron: A♦Q♠ All in
Itai Levy: 7♦7♣

The flop came J♣J♥K♠ giving Herron a chance for an upset should he complete his straight. But Levy's sevens held on the 9♣ turn and the 4♣ river. Herron was left disappointed as he headed to the payout counter.

Terence Etim raised to 200,000 from the cutoff, and Zixuan Liu in the big blind three-bet to 450,000. After a short stare-down, Etim called to see the flop.

The dealer fanned out 7♣J♣3♦. Liu continued with a 300,000 bet, and Etim tagged along for the next street.

The 8♦ turn fell, and Liu kept pushing with a 500,000 bet. Etim, not to be shaken off, called.

Both players checked the river Q♥.

Liu tabled A♠Q♣ for a pair on the river, prompting Etim to throw his hand in the muck.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Xingwei Chen opened for 200,000 in middle position and Shawn Pilot in hijack called. Junichi Murakami, however, had other things in mind and jammed for 3,645,000. Valentin Farkas in cutoff followed suit and pushed all his 750,000 chips in.

When action went back to him, Chen asked for a count then folded his hand. Pilot did the same leaving the remaining players to head to showdown.

Valentin Farkas: 10♠10♣ All in
Junichi Murakami: A♦K♣

Farkas was looking to double up as his tens held on the 4♠9♥4♣ flop. He faded another street when the 2♥ turn fell. The K♦ river, however, dashed his hopes when Murakami was pushed into the lead with a pair.
