Sam Laskowitz raised to 21,000,000 on the button with {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Paul Hizer defended from the big blind with {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Hizer started with a check. Laskowitz continued with a bet of 17,000,000 and Hizer ripped all in for around 100,000,000 and Laskowitz instantly flung his cards to the muck.

Jordan Pelon Eliminated in 3rd Place ($193,240)

Level 47 : 5,000,000/10,000,000, 0 ante

Jordan Pelon

Jordan Pelon moved all in for his last 58,500,000 in the small blind and Sam Laskowitz snap-called from the big blind.

Jordan Pelon: {q-Spades}{3-Spades}
Sam Laskowitz: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop provided no help to Pelon. The turn came the {a-Diamonds} and Laskowitz's rail erupted in celebration before realizing Pelon still outs to a straight.

Pelon didn't connect with the {7-Spades} river and the Frenchman was eliminated in third place, leaving Laskowitz and Paul Hizer to battle for the bracelet.

James Scott Eliminated in 4th Place ($146,680)

Level 47 : 5,000,000/10,000,000, 0 ante
James Scott
James Scott

The action folded to James Scott in the small blind who shipped all in for 59,500,000 as the short stack at the table. Paul Hizer was in the big blind with slightly more chips and eventually made the call.

James Scott: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Paul Hizer: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop fell {7-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Scott's pair of tens were still in the lead. However, the {k-Clubs} peeled off on the turn and Hizer's rail exploded as he jumped out front. Scott was down to just two outs and the {4-Hearts} on the river was not going to be one of them.

Hizer Survives Against Scott

Level 47 : 5,000,000/10,000,000, 0 ante
Paul Hizer
Paul Hizer

Paul Hizer had fallen to 26,000,000 as he pushed all in from under the gun. James Scott in the big blind counted out the chips to call and looked around at the other stacks around the table before he called after about a minute.

Paul Hizer: {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
James Scott: {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Both players ran over to their rails as the flop came {8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. The {k-Hearts} on the turn was safe for Hizer, while the {2-Clubs} river improved him to two pair as the one-time chip leader jumped back into contention at the final table.

Level 46 : 4,000,000/8,000,000, 0 ante

Luong Quach

The action folded to Luong Quach in the small blind who shoved all in for 14,000,000. Jordan Pelon surprisingly asked for a count when the shove was for less than two big blinds but eventually made the call.

Luong Quach: {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Jordan Pelon: {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} to give Pelon the lead with a pair of eights. The {a-Clubs} on the turn gave Quach a flush draw to go with his one live card but the {k-Spades} on the river ended his tournament in fifth place.

Level 46 : 4,000,000/8,000,000, 0 ante

Sam Laskowitz opened to 16,000,000 from under the gun with {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and got folds from the entire table as he picked up the blinds and ante.

When the action folded to Laskowitz on the button, he made it 16,000,000 with {10-Spades}{2-Spades} and both of the blinds folded.

Three hands after doubling up, Jeff Loiacono shoved again for 46,000,000 and Sam Laskowitz snap-called in the big blind.

Jeff Loiacono: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Sam Laskowitz: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Loiacono began calling for a club. "More of a sweat," he said.

The turn came the {k-Diamonds}. "Alright, ten of diamonds. If not, good luck guys," Loiacono pleaded as the river fell the {2-Hearts}, eliminating him in sixth place as Laskowitz added to his massive chip lead.

Loiacono Picks Up the Aces

Level 46 : 4,000,000/8,000,000, 0 ante

On the first hand after the break, Jeff Loiacono ripped all in for 19,000,000 in the small blind. Paul Hizer was in the big blind and asked for a count before making the call to put Loiacono at risk.

Jeff Loiacono: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Paul Hizer: {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

"I only saw one ace!" Loiacono shouted to his rail. The flop of {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was extremely safe for Loiacono who was looking to double up. The {3-Clubs} on the turn gave Hizer some hope but the {j-Spades} ensured Loiacono of a double up.
