Aren James: A♦J♠ All in
Matthew Belcher: K♦Q♣

The 10♥7♣2♣ flop missed both players but Belcher took the lead on the K♥ turn. When the Q♠ landed on the river to give James Broadway, he slammed the table with excitement as he said, "Phew, I thought it was all done there boys."

Ben Jones opened 1,900,000 on the button, leaving just 25,000 behind and Matthias Eibinger made the call from the big blind.

When the A♦A♣4♣ flop hit the felt, Eibinger dropped a bet across the line and Jones went into the tank as he stared at the board for the pay jump. After about 25 seconds, he dropped his last chip across the line to make the call.

Ben Jones: A♠9♦ All in
Matthias Eibinger: K♠8♣

Jones flopped trip aces, leaving Eibinger drawing thin and the board completed with the Q♥ turn, and the J♦ river.

Level 23 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Action has been moving along at a snail's pace with a $24,000 pay jump just a couple of eliminations away. Rodrigo Selouan was one of those on the short stack and finally ripped all in for 2,300,000 in early position. Yang Wang reraised the minimum from the hijack and the rest of the table folded.

Rodrigo Selouan: A♠Q♥ All in
Yang Wang: A♣K♦

Wang was in a dominating position and the flop of 9♣8♥7♥ left it that way. The 4♥ on the turn gave Selouan a flush draw but the 2♠ on the river bricked out, eliminating Selouan before the pay jump.

Level 23 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Derric Haynie raised to 600,000 in early position before Namhyung Kim moved all in for 2,400,000 in the cutoff.

"Good luck," Haynie told Kim as he quickly called once action folded back to him.

Namhyung Kim: A♦A♥ All in
Derric Haynie: A♣K♠

Haynie let out a loud groan when Kim turned over his aces. Haynie made a pair on the K♥J♥2♣ flop, but he improved no further on the 6♦ turn nor 4♣ river and Kim doubled up.

"The right stack to do it against," tablemate Danny Tang consoled Haynie.

"You're right. I lost the minimum," Haynie replied.

Vladimir Minko raised to 600,000 in early position and Troy Quenneville three-bet to 1,600,000 in middle position. Pablo Ruiz then called for 1,450,000 and Minko got out of the way.

"I have no decision, right?" Quenneville confirmed before they turned over their cards.

Pablo Ruiz: K♦6♦ All in
Troy Quenneville: A♠Q♦

Quenneville hit top pair on the Q♥5♣9♦ flop to take a big lead in the pot, but the board ran out A♦7♦ to give Ruiz a running flush as he earned a fortunate double up.
