River Bomb Gets Through For Shorr

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Shannon Shorr opened with a raise to 220,000 and he was called by Volodymyr Drokin in the cutoff as well as Hero Bercovici in the small blind and Nirath Rean in the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and action checked to Shorr who bet 300,000. Only Bercovici called and it was on to the turn.

Both players checked on the {6-Hearts} turn and the {6-Diamonds} came on the river. There, Shorr put out a big bet of 1,200,000 and Bercovici thought for a good while before folding his hand.

Uemura Runs Out of Chips

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Paulino Uemura had previously open-shoved from under the gun to claim the blinds and antes, and soon after he was all in and at risk for 20 big blinds from the cutoff. Aram Zobian looked him up out of the big blind with the superior stack and better hand.

Paulino Uemura: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Amran Zobian: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Zobian remarked, "You picked up some outs," before adding, "I feel the queen of spades is coming," as soon as the {3-Hearts} hit on the turn.

"Don't actually do it," Zobian told the dealer, and his wish was granted with the blank {8-Spades} river.

"Good game, man," Zobian said over to Uemura, who was eliminated in 77th place for $91,610.

Saechao Wins Monster Flip With Haro

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Kao Saechao opened for 225,000 in middle position and Alexander Haro made it 725,000 in the big blind. Saechao shoved all in for 5,005,000.

"I don't think I can fold," Haro said with a sigh as he got the count. "Do you really wanna flip for all of it?"

Haro slammed in calling chips and turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, asking if Saechao "had it." His initial read was right, though, as it was a flip against {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

The {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop paired Saechao. The {3-Hearts} came on the turn and Haro said he was using his one time on the river, but the {4-Spades} arrived to secure the double.

Huber Eliminated by Obst

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

A short-stacked Stefan Huber shoved all in for 580,000 from under the gun and Ming Xi called in middle position. Everyone folded to James Obst in the big blind, who reshoved all in for 3,800,000. Xi quickly released his hand.

Stefan Huber: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
James Obst: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop brought no help to Huber. The {J-Hearts} on the turn brought some chop possibilities for the REG charity co-founder.

"Nine," Huber said with a hint of determination.

It didn't help, as the {3-Diamonds} on the river ended his Main Event run in 76th place. Huber received $91,610 for his accomplishment.

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Jamie Flynn
Jamie Flynn

Volodymyr Drokin raised to 210,000 from the hijack, and Jamie Flynn moved all in for 1.3 million. Drokin made the call and Flynn had the advantage.

Volodymyr Drokin: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Jamie Flynn: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Board: {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Drokin hit top pair on the flop when the king of spades appeared, and Irishman Flynn needed to find an out. But it didn't come, and Flynn finished in 75th place in this year's Main Event for $85,482.

Amin Misses Out on Pay Jump, Busts to Tang

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Ahmed Amin was all in and at risk for 18 big blinds from the button and Daniel Tang called in the small blind.

Ahmed Amin: {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Daniel Tang: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} made things worse for Amin, as he needed a five to win and running cards for a split pot. On the {3-Clubs} turn, nothing much changed and the {9-Diamonds} river failed to improved Amin, who was eliminated in 73rd place for $91,610.

All remaining 72 players are now guaranteed at least $108,745, as announced by a tournament director with the words, "Welcome to the six-figure club."
