Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Ionut Dumitrana limped from under the gun with 3♥3♦. Ali Ayub raised to 2,200,000 in early position with A♠8♠.

Both players checked the A♥J♣8♥, but Ayub bet 2,200,000 on the 8♦ which filled him up. Dumitrana made the call.

The K♠ completed the board and Ayub bet huge for 10,000,000. Dumitrana went through the action in his head but opted to fold and Ayub took the pot and the chip lead.

Not bad considering he was claiming he had no hands at all in the last two days earlier in the session.

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Ali Ayub bet 1,200,000 from the button with J♦2♦ and was met with a raise from Longmao Fan in the small blind for 4,000,000 with K♥5♥.

Ayub used a time bank card, cut through his chips and assembled a bet of 12,300,000, around half of his stack. Fan didn't take long to throw his cards into the muck and the pot was awarded to Ayub.

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Trevor Pearson bet 1,300,000 from the cutoff with Q♣10♣ and was called by Yanwen Li on the button with Q♠3♠ and Ionut Dumitrana in the big blind with the Doyle 10♦2♦.

Everyone missed on the flop of 9♣7♥5♥ and Li took a stab for 1,500,000. Dumitrana mused for a few seconds before raising to 4,600,000. This gained a fold from Pearson and Li.

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jason Riley bet 1,300,000 from the cutoff and was met with a raise from chip leader Ionut Dumitrana to 3,200,000. Riley made the call.

The flop came 10♠8♥2♣ and Riley shoved for 8,700,000 and was snap-called by Dumitrana.

Jason Riley: K♣10♣
Ionut Dumitrana: K♠K♥

Riley was in bad shape and the A♦ turn did not help matters, but a miracle 10♦ on the river saved Riley's blushes and his tournament life to get an unlikely double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ionut Dumitrana	33,525,000 -13,100,000	-13,100,000

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Ben Clark bet 1,100,000 from early position and was called by Yanwen Li on the button and Ionut Dumitrana in the big blind.

The flop came Q♦5♣3♠ and all three checked. The 4♠ came on the turn and Dumitrana bet 2,000,000. Clark shoved for 5,250,000 and Li folded J♥9♥. Dumitrana made the call.

Ben Clark: K♠9♠ All in
Ionut Dumitrana: Q♥6♥

Clark pushed with the flush draw, but was behind to Dumitrana's top pair. The 8♣ landed on the river to send Clark to the rail in ninth place.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ionut Dumitrana	46,625,000 8,325,000	8,325,000
