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

Zachary Habayeb opened to 35,000 from early position and Jeremie Zouari defended his big blind.

On the flop of 6♦5♥A♦, Zouari check-called a bet of 35,000 from Habayeb.

The J♥ turn was checked through to the A♠ river where Zouari shoved. Habayeb had around 265,00 remaining in his stack and used four time bank cards before he eventually tossed in the call.

Zouari showed K♦9♦ for a busted flush draw, and Habayeb tabled K♥J♦ for a pair of jacks and scooped the pot.

Erik Bauer opened to 30,000 first to act and James Collopy three-bet to 95,000 on the button. Yi Lin then shoved for approximately 350,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Bauer and a snap-call from Collopy to put Lin at risk.

Yi Lin: 10♦10♥ All in
James Collopy: K♣K♥

The Q♠3♣5♠A♠4♠ runout kept Collopy best with his cowboys and Lin was eliminated just shy of the final table.

Samuel Ju: A♣10♠ All in
Jeremie Zouari: A♠Q♦

It looked to be the end of the road for Ju but a flopped pair of tens on the 10♥3♣7♥3♦9♦ runout ensured his survival and earned him a double-up.

Dai Ishibashi: 8♥8♦ All in
Fabrice Maltez: 10♥10♠ All in
Jeremie Zouari: K♦K♣

On the 4♠7♦9♠ flop, both players checked to the 10♣ turn. Zobian led out for 31,000, and Tamasauskas called.

An A♠ on the river saw Zobian check it over to Tamasauskas, who bet 53,000. Zobian mulled it over for a while and after using some extra time, he made the call.

Tamasauskas showed Q♦J♦ for a busted straight draw, and Zobian had the winner with Q♥9♦ for a flopped pair of nines.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jules Dickerson opened to 18,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 55,000 by James Collopy on the button. Action folded back around to Dickerson, who called.

Dickerson check-called a 65,000 bet from Collopy on the Q♠9♥7♥ flop and Dickerson checked again after the 2♣ came on the turn.

Collopy announced he was all in and Dickerson called all in for his last 230,000 after a lengthy tank.

Jules Dickerson: Q♦J♣ All in
James Collopy: A♠Q♣

Dickerson found his queen dominated, and the Q♥ river kept Collopy best with his ace-kicker to eliminate Dickerson and soar into the chip lead.
