Feature Table Hands #132-133: Miles Doubles Through Zhu

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

Hand #132: Joe Cada limped the button, and Michael Dyer completed from the small blind as Alex Lynskey checked.

The flop landed {Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and action checked round to see the {2-Hearts} fall on the turn. Action checked through, and the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Dyer bet out 850,000, Lynskey called, and Cada called. Dyer tabled his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} to win the pot.

Hand #133: Tony Miles moved all in for 5,875,000 from under the gun and Yueqi Zhu called in the big blind.

Zhu: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Miles: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Miles was at risk, but in the lead as the dealer spread a {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop to keep Miles in the lead, but give backdoor straight outs to Zhu.

The turn of the {7-Spades} was one of those backdoor outs, and now Miles would need to fade a six or five to stay alive.

The dealer burned and turned the {A-Diamonds} on the river, and Miles doubled to over 12 million in chips.

Hand #120: A walk for Aram Zobian.

Hand #121: Antoine Labat raised to 1,100,000 first to act and Artem Metalidi called on the button, the duo headed to the {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop.

Ryan Phan Eliminated in 11th Place ($725,000)

Secondary Table Hand #123: Artem Metalidi limped in from the hijack and Ryan Phan moved all in for 5,975,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Metalidi snap-called.

Ryan Phan: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Artem Metalidi: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Phan's rail asked for a five ball, but the {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop changed nothing whatsoever. The {10-Spades} turn was a blank, too, and Phan's run in the Main Event came to an end with the {10-Diamonds} on the river. Phan collected $725,000 for his efforts and the remaining 10 players will now combine for the unofficial final table before bagging up their chips once the field has been whittled down to the last nine.
