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

Henrik Juncker opened to 1,000,000 first-to-act and Rony Halimi shoved for his last 2,500,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Juncker, who quickly called to put Halimi at risk.

Rony Halimi: A♥K♦
Henrik Juncker: Q♥Q♠

It was a fair fight, but the Q♦2♦6♣ flop gave Juncker an overwhelming lead with a set.

The 3♥ turn sealed the deal and an irrelevant 5♥ completed the board — ending Halimi’s run in sixth place.

Dann Assouline: K♣J♣
Guillermo Gordo: A♣K♠

Sonny Franco raised to 1,000,000 first-to-act and just behind him, Henrik Juncker three-bet to 2,000,000. Action folded back around to Franco, who called all in for 1,700,000 total.

Sonny Franco: A♦Q♥
Henrik Juncker: A♣K♥

Franco would need some help, but the A♥A♠K♠ left him drawing to a chop at best.

David Salituro

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alexander Glogar moved all in for 1,375,000 on the button and Henrik Juncker called in the small blind. "I hope I'm still live," Glogar said as they waited for the hand to finish on the other table before showing their cards.

Alexander Glogar: A♣9♥
Henrik Juncker: A♠10♣

"Okay, lucky nine," Glogar said. The flop came 2♥6♣3♥, followed by the 4♣ turn to open the possibility of a chop. The 10♠ fell on the river and Juncker made top pair to send Glogar to the rail on the final table bubble.

The remaining nine players are drawing for seats at the final table, after which they will take a 20-minute break.

Charles Whitehouse: 7♣10♣
Omar Del Pino: A♥J♦

Whitehouse was unfortunate that Del Pino woke up in the big blind with a hand he couldn't fold and no help arrived on the J♥4♣6♠K♣4♦ runout, Del Pino eliminating his opponent with a pair of jacks.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yungsheng Sun: A♠8♦

Lonis was in trouble with a dominated ace and the 5♦10♦3♦7♦10♥ runout gave Sun an eight-high flush, sending Lonis to the exit.

David Salituro

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Daniel Kyosev moved all in for 550,000 in the hijack, Andras Matrai shoved for 2,600,000 in the cutoff, and Omar Del Pino called on the button to put both players at risk.

Daniel Kyosev: 7♦7♠
Andras Matrai: A♦J♣
Omar Del Pino: A♣K♦

It was a massive three way all in as the flop came A♠6♦3♠ to give Del Pino the lead with top pair and his king-kicker. The K♣ turn improved him to two pair and left Kyosev drawing to two outs and Matrai already drawing dead.

The river was the 10♥ and Del Pino scooped the entire pot to send both opponents to the rail.

"Is this a race to see who can bust them faster," Parker Talbot told Del Pino after the hand.
