Adam Lamers

Level 30 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Nick Maimone open-raised to 9,700,000 from under the gun, leaving just 2,400,000 behind. Marcelo Aziz raised all in from the big blind and Maimone used a time bank before calling off the last of his chips.

Nick Maimone: K♦9♦ All in
Marcelo Aziz: A♥7♠

The dealer fanned the flop of 8♦5♣4♥ which missed both players completely. Aziz held the lead through the J♠ on the turn and Maimone bricked out on the A♣ river.

Level 30 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Vadzim Lipauka raised to 3,200,000 from the hijack and Derric Haynie was forced all in for 800,000 in the big blind. The rest of the table stepped aside and the cards were on their backs.

Derric Haynie: J♦7♠ All in
Vadzim Lipauka: K♠10♦

The flop of A♥6♥3♥ left Lipauka in the lead as neither player held a heart in their hand. The 9♥ on the turn brought some potential chop outs but it was the 9♠ on the river that eliminated Haynie in 17th place.

Level 30 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Christopher Nguyen raised to 3,200,000 on the button and Sebastian Toro three-bet shoved all in for 50,400,000 in the small blind. Yinan Zhou was in the big blind and used all of his time banks before sticking in his stack of 45,000,000. Nguyen quickly folded and the cards were tabled.

Yinan Zhou: K♠K♥ All in
Sebastian Toro: K♦10♦

"The pay jump," Zhou pointed out after wasting nearly five minutes. The board ran out J♠10♥8♣2♣A♥ and Toro could only muster a pair of tens as Zhou scored a huge double-up, thus leaving Toro on crumbs.

Yinan Zhou	94,800,000 40,200,000	40,200,000

Michael Addamo: 7♣7♦

Nothing changed on the 6♣3♣Q♠ flop, with Mizzi still looking for help. Addamo then found a set on the 7♥ turn, locking up the hand. The 8♣ river completed the board as Mizzi exited in 16th place.

Level 31 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Action folded around to Ren Lin in the small blind, who slid in the call with 4♦2♦. Marcelo Aziz took some time and raised to 10,000,000 holding 10♥3♦.

Lin considered his decision for a bit, opting to let his hand go.

"Professional bluff," said Lin as Aziz took down the small pot.

"Seven-deuce?" Lin continued. "I watch on TV later."

Aziz Takes From Lin Again

Level 31 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

After tangling the previous orbit blind vs blind, Ren Lin limped from the small blind with 10♦2♦ and Marcelo Aziz checked his option with 10♥4♥ in the big blind.

Lin led out for 2,000,000 on the 6♠3♠2♥ flop and Aziz called. The dealer revealed the 9♣ turn and Lin checked.

Aziz checked behind to the Q♠ river and Lin tapped the table again. Aziz took some time before firing a bet of 15,500,000.

"So much," said Lin before laying his hand down and Aziz took down another pot.
