Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It was all going so well for Kyle Anderson but he has come unstuck after a run of cards that have not worked out in his favor. Just now it folded round to Steve Yea who moved all in for 700,000 on the button and Kyle Anderson was in the big blind and woke up with a hand good enough to call.

Steve Yea:
Kyle Anderson:

The flop connected for both players but Anderson moved a little further into the lead at this point. The turn gave Yea trips and with no ace on the river, Anderson had to count out the chips to hand over.

Steve Yea	1,570,000 -210,000	-210,000
Kyle Anderson	225,000 -1,425,000	-1,425,000

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In the first hand Jason Reels raised it to 125,000 and Ralph Perry moved all in. With action back on Reels he asked for an exact count. The dealer confirmed 780,000 total, which sent Reels into the tank for over a minute before he flashed the and folded.

Two hands later the under-the-gun player raised it to 125,000 and Ralph Perry again three-bet shoved all in. Action folded around to Reels in the big blind, he four-bet shoved for less and the original raiser folded.

Ralph Perry:
Jason Reels:

Khalili was behind but had two live cards and hit one on the river on the runout. Andrade was left short and was eliminated two hands later.

In the second hand, action folded to Jared Kwong in the small blind and he shoved all in. Khalili made the call and was again all in for his tournament life, only that time he was ahead and needed his hand to hold.

Sohale Khalili:
Jared Kwong:

The board ran out , which paired Khalili's queen on the turn and secured his second-straight double-up.
