Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jin Hoon Lee raised to 600,000 from early position only to see [Removed:438] jam on his direct left for 2,375,000 total. Lee waited for a verified count before making the call to set up a runout with Goldner at risk.

[Removed:438]: Q♣J♣
Jin Hoon Lee: A♣Q♥

The 5♠4♣J♥ flop was good for Goldner who decided to sit back down after out-flopping Lee. The 6♣ turn and 2♥ river changed nothing as Lee counted out the chips to ship the double up over to Goldner

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Action folded to David Peters who limped from the small blind. Davidi Kitai checked his option from the big blind to bring out the 6♦4♠8♦ flop.

Peters checked over to Kitai who reached for chips and tossed out a bet of 300,000. Peters made the call to see the turn bring the J♦.

Peters checked again and again, Kitai went into his stack and came back out with a bet worth 650,000. Peters wasn't fast to release his hand but after a brief moment, he did toss his cards towards the muck and send the pot in Kitai's direction.

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Action folded to Stefan Nemetz who raised to 500,000 from middle postion before facing a three-bet to 1,250,000 from Maria Ho on the button. With action back on Nemetz, he paused briefly before jamming only to see Ho make the snap-call to send both players to a runout with Nemetz at risk.

Stefan Nemetz: 10♦10♠
Maria Ho: A♠K♦

The 5♣4♣A♦ flop catapulted Ho into the lead and left Nemetz looking for help with two cards to come, but when the turn and river came the 4♦ and 5♠, Nemetz was left with the second best hand as Ho sends another player to the payout desk before adding another huge pot to her growing stack.

Maria Ho	21,000,000 8,800,000	8,800,000

Davidi Kitai shoved the small blind and Phil Hellmuth called all in for about 1,100,000 in the big blind.

Phil Hellmuth: A♣6♦
Davidi Kitai: Q♦3♥

The 10♦9♠7♠ flop kept Hellmuth ahead to the 9♣ turn, but the Q♣ spiked the river to give Kitai the best hand, while Hellmuth's quest for an 18th bracelet will have to wait another day.

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Dong Chen jammed his remaining 325,000 from under the gun and found a caller from the player on the button. Maria Ho was in the small blind and jammed, forcing a fold from the big blind and the button to send herself and Chen to a runout with Chen at risk.

Dong Chen: 10♥9♠
Maria Ho: A♣Q♣

The flop removed any and all sweats as the A♥2♥A♦ left Chen drawing dead before the meaningless 2♣ and 3♣ peeled off on the turn and river, ending Chen's day and helping Ho add to her already huge chip stack.
