On the {K-Diamonds} turn, Wong checked and Klein bet 425,000 to win the last hand of the level, the players then headed into a 20-minute break.

Shack-Harris Doubles Through Hughes

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Ryan Hughes was first to act and made it 400,000 to go. Brandon Shack-Harris in the cutoff was the sole caller so it was heads-up to the flop.

On {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}, Hughes bet 1 million. Shack-Harris, who had 1.265,000 in front of him, thought about it for a bit before he moved in. Hughes called instantly for 265,000 more.

Brandon Shack-Harris: {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Ryan Hughes: {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The {2-Diamonds} on the turn did nothing. The {5-Hearts} completed the board and completed Shack-Harris' double up.

Klein Jams Into Shack-Harris

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Ryan Hughes raised to 400,000 and Loren Klein called out of the big blind. On the {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, Klein checked and folded to a bet worth 500,000.

One hand later, Brandon Shack-Harris raised to 400,000 from the cutoff and claimed the blinds.

The next hand saw a min-raise to 400,000 by Rep Porter from the under-the-gun position and Shack-Harris called. On the button, Loren Klein glanced over to the stack sizes of Porter and Shack-Harris before announcing a pot-sized raise of 1,900,000. Porter folded quickly, while Shack-Harris checked his remaining stack carefully and called for almost exactly half of what he had left.

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Klein bet the pot, Shack-Harris double-checked his cards and folded.

Bohlman Doubles Through Klein

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Loren Klein raised to 600,000 out of the small blind and Scott Bohlman announced all in out of the big blind, Klein called and Bohlman was at risk for 1,555,000.

Scott Bohlman: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Loren Klein: {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

On the {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Klein improved to top and bottom pair and predicted the next card for a sweat, he asked for the jack of diamonds to give Bohlman a ton of outs. Low and behold, the {J-Diamonds} appeared on the turn and both players burst out in laughter.

"Let's sweat this one out," Klein suggested without trying to predict any card and Rep Porter was going for the {A-Hearts} as final card. Instead, it was the {9-Hearts} that fell on the river and improved Bohlman to a runner-runner straight and remain in contention.

Porter Doubles Through Shack-Harris Once More

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Right after doubling up, Rep Porter opened the small blind for 600,000. Big blind Brandon Shack-Harris called.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Porter potted for 1.2 million with about 170,000 or so behind. Shack-Harris tanked for some time before eventually moving in. Porter called.

Rep Porter: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Brandon Shack-Harris: {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn gave Shack-Harris some extra outs but the {4-Clubs} on the river wasn't one of the cards he was looking for.

Shack-Harris now one of the shorter stacks, Porter in the middle of the pack.

Porter Doubles Through Klein

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Loren Klein raised to 425,000 in the cutoff and Rep Porter moved all in from the big blind for a total of 940,000. Klein asked for a count and called.

"I got some stuff, but he got it," Klein said in table chat while the cards were tabled.

Rep Porter: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Loren Klein: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}

The {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop triggered a guessing game with Klein asking for a sweat with the {Q-Clubs}, while Porter was having other thoughts. Both the {8-Hearts} turn and the {3-Hearts} river bricked off and Porter doubled.

"I was rooting for the {K-Diamonds}, but wouldn't have minded the {10-Spades} either," Porter joked.

Klein Takes Over the Lead

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris opened the hijack to 360,000 but was forced to make it 400,000 as the level had gone up after just before the hand. Loren Klein on the button called, the blinds folded.

Shack-Harris checked on {9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and called the 650,000 bet that followed. Both players then checked the {7-Clubs} on the turn.

The {4-Spades} river completed the board and Shack-Harris checked once more. Klein bet 1.3 million and Shack-Harris went deep into the tank.

After some five minutes, Ryan Hughes asked for the clock. With just a few seconds to spare, Shack-Harris called. Klein showed {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for top-two and Shack-Harris mucked.
