Secondary Table Hand #107-114: Zobian Chips Up

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Hand #107: Ryan Phan made it 900,000 to go and Artem Metalidi called out of the big blind to see a flop of {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Metalidi checked and Phan continued for 1,000,000. Metalidi called. The {J-Spades} on the turn was checked through and the {4-Clubs} river completed the board.

Metalidi made it 2,000,000 and Phan called after some consideration to get shown the {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} by Metalidi. Phan mucked the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

Hand #108: Metalidi limped from the small blind and Aram Zobian checked from the big blind. The {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and the {8-Diamonds} turn brought no betting action, and the {4-Hearts} appeared on the river. Metalidi showed the {K-Clubs}{2-Spades} and won the pot.

Hand #109: Antoine Labat raised to 900,000 first to act and scooped the blinds and antes.

Hand #110: Zobian raised to 875,000 on the button and Labat defended the big blind. On the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop, Labat check-called a bet of 800,000 and checked again the {9-Diamonds} turn. Zobian fired a second barrel worth 1,300,000, which Labat called.

On the {5-Clubs} river, Labat checked and Zobian emptied the clip by moving all in for his last 6,030,000.

Hand #111: Zobian raised to 925,000 on the cutoff and Cynn called in the big blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Cynn's check was followed by a bet of 900,000 of Zobian, and Cynn folded.

Hand #112: Metalidi raised to 900,000 first to act, which was good enough to claim the blinds and antes.

Hand #113: Zobian made it 925,000 to go first to act and Nicolas Mannion called in the small blind, as did Metalidi in the big blind. The {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop was checked through and the {5-Spades} turn brought no betting action either. After the {4-Clubs} river, the trio checked once more and Manion took down the pot with the {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for top pair.

Hand #114: Ryan Phan opened with a raise to 1,200,000 from under the gun. Antoine Labat made it 3,000,000 in the hijack seat. Action was back on Phan and he folded after a while allowing Labat to take the pot.

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Hand #120: Joe Cada opened to 900,000 on the button and Alex Lynskey called from the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Lynskey checked to Cada who checked behind.

Hand #121: Cada raised to 900,000 again from the cutoff and Michael Dyer called on the button. Lynskey also called from the small blind and the flop fell {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Hand #122: Lynskey opened 1,000,000 on the button and Yueqi Zhu called from the small blind. The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and both players checked to the {k-Diamonds} on the turn. Zhu checked again and Lynskey tapped the table as well. The {3-Clubs} completed the board and Zhu led out for 1,725,000. Lynskey thought for a minute and then raised to 4,575,000 only to have Zhu three-bet to 7,775,000. Lynskey sent his cards to the muck and Zhu was awarded the pot.

Feature Table Hands #125-126: Cada Shoves the River on Lynskey

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 75,000 ante

Hand #125: Alex Lynskey opened to 1,050,000 from under the gun and Michael Dyer called in the big blind to see a {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Both players checked as the {3-Clubs} landed on the turn. Dyer checked, Lynskey checked, and the river landed the {10-Hearts}.

Dyer tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, but it would be Lynskey's {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} that would earn him the pot.

Hand #126: Joe Cada opened to 1,100,000 on the button and Alex Lynskey called in the big blind.

The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Lynskey checked to Cada who bet 1,000,000. Lynskey called as the {J-Hearts} rolled off on the turn and he checked again.

Cada bet out 2,600,000 and Lynskey called as the {3-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Lynskey checked for a third time, and Cada announced he was all in for 7,150,000. Lynskey went deep into the tank for several minutes before eventually deciding upon a fold.

Frederik Brink Eliminated in 12th Place ($575,000)

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 75,000 ante

Feature Table Hand #131: Yueqi Zhu raised to 1 million and Frederik Brink jammed for 4.1 million in the cutoff. Zhu called with {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and had a slight lead against {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. The {6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades} missed both players. The {4-Diamonds} turn likewise. The board harmlessly paired with a {j-Clubs} river and that ended Brink's run.

Secondary Table Hands #115-119: Zobian Shoves Over Labat; Cynn Continues Growing

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 75,000 ante

Hand #115: Artem Metalidi limped in for 500,000 from the button. In the big blind, Ryan Phan checked.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Phan checked. Metalidi put out a bet of 500,000 and Phan called.

On the {A-Clubs} turn, Phan checked again. Metalidi put out a bet of 1,200,000. Phan folded and Metalidi took down the pot.

Hand #116: Ryan Phan limped in the small blind and Antoine Labat checked in the big blind.

The flop was {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Phan checked to Labat who bet 500,000. Phan called to see the {J-Diamonds} on the turn.

On the turn, Phan checked again. Labat checked back and the {7-Spades} came on the river. Phan decided to check. Labat checked behind. Phan showed {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of tens but it was no good against Labat's {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks.

Hand #117: Action folded to the small blind where Antoine Labat folded and John Cynn received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #118: Aram Zobian opened from early position to 1,150,000. On the button, Antoine Labat made it 2,780,000. Zobian moved all in over the top for 11,700,000 and Labat quickly folded.

Hand #119: John Cynn opened to 1,100,000 on the button. In the big blind Artem Metalidi called.

The flop was {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Metalidi checked. Cynn bet 1,000,000 and Metalidi called.

The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and both players checked to the {7-Spades} on the turn. There, Metalidi led out with a bet of 3,200,000. Cynn called after some thought. Metalidi showed down his {9-Spades}{8-Spades} but it was not good against Cynn's {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, so Cynn scooped the pot.
