Hand #63: Action folded to Ryan Phan who opened to 700,000 in the cutoff. Artem Metalidi called in the small blind and Aram Zobian called in the big blind.

The flop was {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and both blinds checked to Phan who checked as well. On the {7-Hearts} turn, Metalidi led with a bet of 1,400,000. Zobian let go of his hand and Phan called.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Metalidi led out with a bet of 2,800,000. Phan called after some time and Metalidi showed down {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} but Phan had him beat and showed down his {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} to scoop the pot.

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante
Alexander Haro
Alexander Haro

Outer Table Hand #69: Antoine Labat opened for 675,000 in middle position and Alexander Haro instantly tossed in his 2,325,000. Labat called with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and dominated Haro's {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

"All right, guys, congratulations on top 18," Haro said, trying a bit of reverse jinx magic.

The {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades} board brought him nothing and he did indeed take his leave in 19th, shaking hands with his tablemates on his way out.

Feature Table Hand #75: Action folded to Ming Xi who opened to 650,000. Michael Dyer called in the small blind.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {3-Diamonds}. There, Dyer led out with a bet of 925,000. Xi folded and Dyer raked in the pot.

Feature Table Hand #76: Action folded to Michael Dyer on the button who raised to 600,000 and Alex Lynskey called in the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Lynskey checked. Dyer put out a bet of 525,000 and Lynskey called.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and both players checked to see the {J-Hearts} on the river. There, Lynskey bet 900,000. Dyer called and showed his {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} while we only saw the {5-Clubs} from Lynskey.

Feature Table Hand #77: Sylvain Loosli shoved all in from middle position for 2,380,000. Michael Dyer called from the cutoff and everyone else folded.

Sylvain Loosli: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Michael Dyer: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} which gave a flush draw to Dyer who still had outs to an ace as well. The turn was the {K-Hearts} though which changed nothing. The river was the {A-Diamonds} and that would be it for Loosli. Dyer made a pair of aces to top Loosli's sixes.

For his deep run and 18th place finish, Loosli collected $375,000.
