Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Jean Benvenga jammed 9,700,000 in the hijack and Alexandre Reard called in the cutoff with the exact same stack.

Jean Benvenga: A♦7♥ All in
Alexandre Reard: J♠J♥ All in

Reard was in front with his pocket jacks but the ace came in the window as the dealer fanned the A♣K♣4♦ flop. Reard was unable to find one of the remaining jacks as the 3♠ fell on the turn, and the 9♦ on the river.

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Parker Talbot was all-in for around 13,000,000 in the big blind against Martin Zamani on the button.

Parker Talbot: 10♥10♦ All in
Martin Zamani: A♥6♣

Zamani picked up outs on the 5♣3♠6♦ flop, but the board finished out a safe 8♥7♣ to earn the last ambassador standing yet another double. It's been a miraculous comeback for Talbot, who just hours ago was down to two big blinds.

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Francesco Macri opened 1,500,000 in the hijack and Magnus Persson three-bet 4,000,000 next to act. Kevin Madar was on the button and shoved his last 4,700,000, and Macri tank-folded before Persson pushed more chips across the line.

Kevin Madar: A♣K♦ All in
Magnus Persson: A♠A♦

It was worst case scenario for Madar, and the J♦9♦5♥9♠3♠ runout was no help as he stood up from the table.

Wissam Ouertani shoved his last 1,100,000 under the gun and Alexandre Reard called in the big blind.

Wissam Ouertani: 10♠7♣ All in
Alexandre Reard: J♥10♣

"Professional bluff!" Ren Lin said before Zamani revealed the 2♠ in his hand. "Wow!"

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Parker Talbot open-jammed a stack of just 1,000,000 from the cutoff and Santiago Nadal raised on the button to isolate.

Parker Talbot: A♠6♠ All in
Santiago Nadal: 9♦9♥

"It's fitting that I get ace-six in the cutoff and am behind," Talbot groaned before taking a big lead on the flop of A♥3♥10♥.

Nothing changed as the board finished out 6♦Q♠ to earn the last ambassador standing a small double.

"Now I can run another nine big blind bluff that's always getting called and just incinerate my biscuits," Talbot said before calling for a cocktail waitress.
