Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Derek Gregory, who was in the big blind, had a decision to make when Russell Probasco, who was in late position, raised to 2,000,000 before the flop.

Gregory’s decision came easy after he looked down at his cards and moved all in with his remaining 4,500,00, which Probasco called.

Gregory: 10♥10♠
Probasco: A♥Q♦

Gregory remained ahead after the dealer placed 6♦9♣3♣ on the board, but A♦ on the turn put Probasco in command of the hand. The 6♣ on the river sent Gregory to the rail in 18th place for $13,438.

On a board reading 7♣9♥Q♥, Sachin Bhargava checked and Eric Pfenning proceeded to bet 1,600,000. Bhargava shoved in response, putting Pfenning at risk if he called.

After some deliberation, he ended up calling and both players turned their cards face up.

Eric Pfenning: 10♥10♠
Sachin Bhargava: A♣9♦

Pfenning was relieved to see he made the correct call. Him and his rail were ecstatic when the 8♠ and Q♣ rolled off, securing a big moment shift in favor or Pfenning.

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

With less than 10 big blinds, Olga Iermolcheva was a short stack at her table following the dinner break, and she patiently waited to pick a spot to make a move.

Unfortunately, she ran into a cooler.

Ka Chun Kan to her immediate right raised in middle position. Iermolcheva peeked down at her hand and without hesitation three-bet to move all in. The rest of the table folded, and Kan immediately called.

Iermolcheva: A♠K♦
Kan: A♥A♣

Iermolcheva stood up as the dealer placed 10♥8♠6♥ on the flop. The turn produced 4♣, which had Iermolcheva drawing dead, while a harmless K♠ showed up on the river.

Iermolcheva finished in 18th place for a payout of $13,438.

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

Charlie Hawes went all in from under the gun for his remaining 1,700,000 in chips. Two seats to his left, Russel "Rusty" Probasco went all in for more, totaling 8,500,000. The rest of the players at the table folded.

Charlie Hawes: J♥5♦
Rusty Probasco: A♦K♠

Hawes was initially pleased to see he had live cards but when the flop came the 8♠A♣5♣, it was a far cry for Hawes to have a chance. The 5♠ on the turn did keep some hope alive, but the Q♥ on the river sealed his elimination.
