Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Niklas Astedt
Niklas Astedt

Dan Colpoys raised it up on the button and Niklas Astedt defended from the big blind. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Astedt pushed all in which Colpoys quickly called.

Niklas Astedt: {a-}{q-}{j-}{6-}
Dan Colpoys: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Astedt flopped two pair but it was no match for the set of queens from Colpoys. The {j-Clubs} on the turn left Astedt drawing dead to the {7-Clubs} on the river.

Chang Takes a Chunk from Arieh and Zyrin

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Danny Chang
Danny Chang

The hand was picked up with three-way action on a completed board of {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} with Anatolii Zyrin who fired out a bet of 320,000 chips. Josh Arieh got out of the way and Danny Chang snap-called and instantly tabled the winner {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for two pairs queens and fives, which sent Zyrin's cards into the muck.

With that pot, Chang chipped up to 3,300,000 and took over the chip leader position.

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Scott Stinson
Scott Stinson

The action folded to Dan Colpoys in the small blind who raised to 60,000. Scott Stinson shoved all in for a little over 100,000 in the big blind and Colpoys called.

Scott Stinson: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Dan Colpoys: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Stinson could only muster a pair of sixes which sent him to the payout desk.

Richie Allen and Matt Woodward went heads-up to a flop of {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Allen led out with a bet of 80,000 and Woodward raised the pot to 320,000. Allen shoved all in for around 400,000 and Woodward called.

Richie Allen: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Matt Woodward: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Woodward flopped two pair but Allen held a flush draw. The {5-Hearts} on the turn also gave Allen a straight and a low draw but the {10-Diamonds} on the river improved Woodward to a full house.

Ben Yu Eliminated in 14th Place ($22,513)

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ben Yu
Ben Yu

Ben Yu raised to 70,000 in the cutoff and Aaron Kupin three-bet to 230,000 from the small bind. Yu quickly called, leaving himself with just 15,000 behind.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Kupin already stuck chips in the middle blindly. Yu kinda laughed and shook his head as he dipped into the tank. After a couple of minutes, Yu eventually laid his hand down.

With just 15,000 chips, Yu was unable to make any sort of comeback as he was eliminated just a couple of hands later.

Damjan Radanov Eliminated in 13th Place ($25,950)

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Damjan Radanov
Damjan Radanov

Josh Arieh raised from the small blind and Damjan Radanov called in the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and the two players got the rest of their chips in the middle with Radanov at risk for a little over 100,000.

Damjan Radanov: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Josh Arieh: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

It all looked like a chopped pot but Arieh quickly found the {q-Clubs} on the turn for a one-outer. The {7-Hearts} on the river was insignificant as Radanov was eliminated in 13th place.
