Benjamin Pollak Eliminated in 42nd Place ($189,165)

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak
Benjamin Pollak

Ryan Phan raised to 350,000 from under the gun, and Benjamin Pollak defended his big blind. The flop came down {6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and Pollak check-called a 425,000 bet from Phan.

The {j-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and Pollak checked. Phan bet around 1.6m, enough to put Pollak all in and the Frenchman called.

Ryan Phan: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Benjamin Pollak: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Pollak was drawing dead as Phan held two pair. The insignificant river card was put down and last year's Main Event third-place finisher Pollak saw his 2018 deep run come to an end after he took 42nd place for $189,165.

Jan Mach Eliminated in 40th Place ($189,165)

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Jan Mach
Jan Mach

Jan Mach shoved all in for 1,860,000 in early position and Aram Zobian made it 3.5 million in the small blind. Artem Metalidi thought for about a minute and then shoved all in from the big. Zobian was in there immediately for what looked to be about 10 million.

Aram Zobian: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Artem Metalidi: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Jan Mach: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

"Good game, guys," Zobian said confidently.

However, the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Spades} brought him nothing. He asked for a ten for a sweat but the {5-Clubs} was a brick. The {7-Hearts} river likewise and Metalidi's stack was counted down and determined to be 10,435,000.

Alexander Haro
Alexander Haro

Alexander Haro opened with a raise to 350,000 and he met a three-bet from Clayton Fletcher to 1,030,000. Action folded back to Haro and he moved all in for roughly 4,600,000. Action was back on Fletcher and he called bringing the two players to a showdown.

Clayton Fletcher: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Alexander Haro: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{Q-Spades}{A-Spades}{5-Hearts} and that gave Haro two pair and allowed him to double up, leaving Clayton as one of the shortest stacks at the table.
