Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tom-Aksel Bedell moved all in for 240,000 from middle position and Dylan Weisman put him at risk in the big blind.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♣Q♣ All in
Dylan Weisman: A♥K♦

Weisman had Bedell dominated, but the Q♦Q♥3♥ flop gave Bedell trips and a big lead in the hand. The 10♦ turn gave Weisman outs to a straight, but the K♣ on the river wasn't enough as Weisman was the one handing over a double up this time.

Weisman was left with around 220,000 and was eliminated a few hands later.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chance Kornuth opened 40,000 under the gun, Mathew Frankland on the left, Sinan Unlu in the hijack and Audrius Stakelis in the big blind all made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of J♣9♣8♥, and the action was checked to Unlu who fired 125,000 across the line. Only Kornuth made the call.

The 3♥ fell on the turn, Kornuth checked and Unlu continued for 420,000. Kornuth wasted little time sliding a stack across the line to put Unlu to the test for his entire stack worth 605,000. Unlu quickly called and both hands were tabled.

Sinan Unlu: 8♣8♠ All in
Chance Kornuth: Q♥10♥

Kornuth not only flopped the nut straight, but also turned a flush draw to go along with it but the 3♦ river paired the board to give Unlu a full house.

Sinan Unlu	1,650,000 900,000	900,000

Chris Moneymaker raised to 40,000 under the gun and Igor Pihela called in the small blind. Rokas Asipauskas then three-bet to 130,000 in the big blind and Moneymaker four-bet to 440,000. Pihela folded, but Asipauskas snap-called for 350,000.

Rokas Asipauskas: K♣K♠ All in
Chris Moneymaker: 9♥9♣

Asipauskas was ahead with his kings and poised for a double up, but Moneymaker spiked a set on the 9♠3♣4♣ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 7♠10♠ and Asipauskas stopped to snap a photo of the board before heading for the exit.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jason Velasco raised first to act, Orpen Kisacikoglu called in the hijack, Igor Pihela called in the cutoff, Chris Moneymaker called on the button, and Eric Wasserson called in the big blind.

"Wow! No respect," lamented Velasco as his raise was called by not one, not two, not three, but four opponents.

No less than five players to the K♣9♣8♥ flop, the action checked to Kisacikoglu who jammed for his remaining 180,000. Pihela and Moneymaker folded before Wasserson rejammed and Velasco folded.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: Q♣10♣ All in
Eric Wasserson: J♣8♣

Both players held club flush draws, but Kisacikoglu had the better one and a gutshot, while Wasserson had the lone pair. The board bricked off A♥K♥ as Wasserson held to score the elimination.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Eelis Parssinen and Dylan Linde went to a flop of J♦7♣5♥ where Parssinen bet 115,000 from the hijack. Linde called under the gun.

The turn was the 10♦ and Parssinen bet another 265,000. Linde again called to the A♥ river and checked over to Parssinen. Parssinen checked back this time.

Linde showed Q♣Q♠, but Parssinen had A♦9♦ for a rivered pair of aces to win the pot.
