Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Albert Daher limped in from the small blind and Daniel Rezaei checked his option.

The flop came J♠A♣8♣ and Daher led out for 25,000. Rezaei called, then folded to another bet of 80,000 on the 10♦ turn.

Rezaei moved all for around 400,000 a few hands later and the rest of the table folded.

Sam Greenwood then raised to 50,000 on the button and Artur Martirosian called in the big blind.

Both players checked the 2♥10♠K♥ flop, then Greenwood bet 80,000 on the A♦ turn. Martirosian gave it some thought before mucking.

"These 15-minute levels were a mistake. It's like bingo," Daher said as the stacks rapidly become shallower.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 50,000 from the hijack and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 90,000 from the small blind, leaving a single blue 5,000 chip behind. Greenwood made the call.

The flop came 8♦3♦2♣ and Mateos bet his last 5,000. Greenwood called.

Adrian Mateos: 8♣8♥
Sam Greenwood: A♠3♠

Mateos had the nuts and by the Q♦ turn Greenwood was drawing dead. The 3♣ river gave Mateos a full house to best Greenwood's trip threes and secure a full double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Albert Daher raised to 40,000 in the cutoff, then folded when Sam Greenwood three-bet to 285,000 in the small blind.

Daher again opened to 40,000 the next hand and Greenwood called on the button, as did big blind Artur Martirosian.

The flop came 5♦5♠5♥ and Daher continued for 85,000. Greenwood called and Martirosian folded.

Both players checked the 9♦ turn and Daher tanked for nearly a minute before checking the A♦ river. Greenwood then bet 160,000.

"I was praying no ace," Daher said with a sigh as he mucked. "I will bet that's ace-queen," he added as Greenwood took the pot.

Sam Greenwood opened from under the gun to 35,000 and Daniel Rezaei defended from the big blind.

The flop came 6♠5♥4♥ and Rezaei lead out with a 20,000 bet that was called by Greenwood.

Both players checked the A♦ turn leading to the 8♥ river. Rezaei bet 80,000 and after about 25 seconds Greenwood made the call.

Greenwood showed Q♣Q♥ which was good enough to take the pot.

The flop came 4♣Q♦10♠ and Mateos bet another 35,000. Daher called, while Martirosian got out of the way.

Mateos checked the 2♥ turn and Daher fired out 35,000. Mateos spent a minute in the tank before tossing his cards away.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Albert Daher opened to 30,000 from the hijack and Daniel Rezaei called from the cutoff. Enrico Camosci moved all in for 160,000 from the button, folding out Daher while receiving a call from Rezaei who covered.

Enrico Camosci: A♦Q♠
Daniel Rezaei: 10♠10♦

The board ran out 2♣4♥7♣7♥5♣. Rezaei's pocket tens held to take down a healthy pot while securing Camosci's elimination.

With six players remaining, it time for the money bubble!
