Danny Chang moved all in preflop and was called by Lisa Fleishman to put his tournament life at risk.

Danny Chang: K♦7♣
Lisa Fleishman: A♦2♥

Chang needed some help as he was behind Fleishman's ace-high, but he seemed to predict the runout as it came 7♦K♠Q♦A♣7♥ to give him a full house to double.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a heads-up turn of 6♠9♥K♥7♥, there is already over 500,000 in the middle when Jerry Yen bets 175,000 after a check from his opponent, David Mzareulov.

After some thought, Mzareulov made the call to swell the pot even more, and the duo continued to the river 5♣.

Mzareulov checked once more, and Yen moved all in for 490,000, which sent Mzareulov into the tank. After around a minute, Mzareulov tapped the table and gave Yen the 'nice hand', and tossed his cards into the middle.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Christopher Chomenko moved all in preflop and was called by Jessica Richards to put him at risk.

Christopher Chomenko: 8♠8♣
Jessica Richards: 10♥10♦

Richards had a huge advantage with her superior holding, but an eight appeared right in the window of the 8♦2♠4♠ flop. The turn came the 5♠ which also gave Chomenko a flush draw and took away one of Richard's two outs. And of course, the river was the 10♠ to give Richards a set of tens, but it also gave Chomenko a flush to take down the pot for the double.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

David Lawson opened under-the-gun to 45,000 and was then three-bet to 100,000 by Isaac Trumbo. When the action folded back to him, Lawson made the call to see a flop of K♦Q♦J♥.

Both players then checked to see the 3♠ peel off on the turn, which saw a bet from Lawson lead for 65,000 and a call from Trumbo.

The river fell the 8♥ and Lawson fired again for 160,000, which sent Trumbo into the tank.

After a few moments of head shaking and counting chips, Trumbo tossed in the chips to make the call.

"Nice call," Lawson sighed as he tabled 8♦9♦ for a pair of eights.

"Nice barrel," Trumbo replied as he rolled over [ajad] to take the pot.

Left short, Lawson exited the tournament a few hands later.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

David 'Lefty' Diaz opened to 55,000 and was called by Venkat Chivulkula and Benjamin Rose to see a flop of 2♠2♣5♥.

All three players checked and went to the turn 10♠, which saw the action check to Diaz, who bet 60,000 and was called by Rose.

On the river 10♣, Rose checked once more and Diaz thought for a bit and checked back.

"Aghh!" Rose exclaimed as he flipped over 10♥9♥ for a rivered full house. and then Diaz rolled over what he checked back... 5♠5♣, which got a wild reaction from the table as to how he didn't go broke.

"You're a magician!" tablemate Gabriel Andrade said, shaking his head.
