Level 21 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yang Wang opened 450,000 in the hijack before Gleb Tremzin jammed all in from the big blind. Wang asked for a count, and as the dealer was counting the chips, Tremzin reached into his bag to pull out his camera. After hearing it was 4,025,000, Wang made the call.

Gleb Tremzin: K♣9♣ All in
Yang Wang: A♣Q♣

The K♠Q♥8♠ flop hit both players, giving Tremzin the lead with a pair of kings. However, the A♠ turn improved Wang to two pair to regain the lead as he nodded in approval of the turn. The J♥ river was no help for Tremzin as he headed toward the exit.

Level 21 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ermo Kosk raised to 450,000 in middle position and David Kaufmann reraised to 2,100,000 in the big blind, leaving himself around 200,000 behind. Kosk then moved all in and Kaufmann spent a few moments looking at the tournament clock before calling.

David Kaufmann: A♥J♠ All in
Ermo Kosk: 10♠10♦

Kaufmann was racing for his tournament life and saw the J♦ fall in the window to give him a pair, followed by the J♥. But they were accompanied by the 10♥ as Kosk spiked a full house.

"I liked the window card, at least," Kaufmann said as the board ran out 2♠3♠ to send him to the rail.

"Now I hope nobody busts in the next 30 seconds," Kaufmann said as he just missed a pay jump.

"I'm using all my time banks, that's for sure," tablemate Chris Moneymaker added.

"I haven't used one. I'm saving them for the next one," Matt Glantz said.
