With about 10,400,000 in the pot, on a board reading {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, Maurizio Lo Russo checked from the small blind, as did Patrick Serda from the big blind. Sam Phillips was on the button and bet 3,500,000. Lo Russo called and Serda folded.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Lo Russo asked to see Phillips' stack and eventually checked. Phillips paused and bet 10,000,000. Lo Russo check-raised all-in and Phillips piled in his remaining 17,000,000.

Phillips was at risk and ahead with {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a set of fives, up against Lo Russo's {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for top pair and an open-ended straight draw. The river was the {4-Clubs} and Lo Russo made his straight to bust Phillips in 15th place for $14,000.

MacDonald Falls to Serda

Level 26 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Kevin MacDonald
Kevin MacDonald

Patrick Serda raised to 2,500,000 from the hijack and action folded to Kevin MacDonald in the small blind he decided to move all-in for his last 17,200,000 and Serda asked for a quick count before calling.

MacDonald tabled {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}, up against Serda's {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

The flop came {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} and MacDonald still needed to hit a jack or a ten to survive. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} to pair Serda's queen and give MacDonald a straight draw. The river was the {k-Spades} and MacDonald was eliminated in 18th place, pocketing $12,000 for his efforts.

Joseph Leaves Melowsky with Crumbs

Level 26 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Johanssy Joseph moved all-in preflop and was put at risk by Tony Melowsky.

Joseph: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Melowsky: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop was gin for Melowsky, taking away another of Joseph's outs. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn did put out some chop outs but the river was the last card Melowsky wanted to see; the {j-Hearts}. Joseph spiked the river to double up and Melowsky was left with just a few big blinds that were swallowed up the next hand.
