Zulkowitz was able to flop a full house when the dealer showed the two {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Zulkowitz improved his boat when the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn. The {8-Diamonds} completed the board and Zulkowitz was able to double up, boosting his stack to roughly 2,300,000 in chips.

Gonzalez Takes from Volpe

We came on a hand between Paul Volpe and Fabrizio Gonzalez with the board showing {J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and the action on Volpe. After some thought Volpe checked, and Gonzalez fired a bet of 330,000, which Volpe called.

The river brought the {Q-Spades} and another check from Volpe. This time Gonzalez went deep into the tank, after after some time announced he was shoving all in for 1.855 million. Volpe then took a long time before acting, finally letting his hand go.

Heitmann Folds Kings

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

After both Taylor Paur and Jan Heitmann checked the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts} board, Paur bet 365,000 on the {7-Clubs} river card. Heitmann tanked for a bit before saying, "So pretty, though! So pretty!" as he looked at his hand again. Another little passed and he folded the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} face up. Paur didn't show the table and raked in the pot.

Josh Neufeld Eliminated in 79th Place ($88,070)

Gaelle Baumann opened to 80,000 from late position. Josh Neufeld three-bet the rest of his stack for 600,000 from the cutoff and the rest of the table folded back to Baumann. She sat thinking for about two minutes before calling and showing {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Neufeld tabled {5-}{5-} and the two were racing.

Neufeld was safe on the flop of {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, but Baumann paired up on the {9-Spades} turn. Fifth street was the {7-Clubs} and Neufeld was sent to the rail.
