The dealer spread a {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop to give Zhu the lead, but the turn of the {3-Diamonds} opened up flush draw outs for Altman.

The river landed the {3-Hearts}, and Zhu doubled through to over 2.7 million while Altman was left with nine big blinds.

Bercovici Takes a Big One From Zobian

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Hari Bercovici
Hari Bercovici

On a flop of {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} action checked to Jonathon Prested who put out a bet of 225,000. Hari Bercovici called before Aram Zobian popped it up to 725,000. Prested quickly folded but Bercovici decided to call.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and both players checked. They both checked again on the {A-Diamonds} river and Bercovici showed down his {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for a turned flush. It was good enough to take down the pot despite the double-paired board and he took it down chipping up to over six million.

Feil Sends Sabia to the Rail

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

The action folded around to Matt Sabia on the button who ripped all in for 1,140,000. Michael Feil was in the small blind and made the call to put Sabia at risk.

Michael Feil: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Matt Sabia: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

"I've been in worse spots before," Sabia said as the TV cameras started to gather around the table.

The dealer put the board of {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} across the table and Feil's ace-high was good enough to eliminate Sabia.
