Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

John Cooper and Robert Gittelton were all in preflop. Cooper was the player at risk.

John Cooper: A♠K♦
Robert Gittelton: 4♥4♠

Gittelton couldn't bear to look at the cards and Cooper watched on in horror as the Q♣3♠8♦6♦ rolled out on the board. He was unable to catch one of his over pairs and Gittleton moved into contention for the chip lead.

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

James Burgin and Christopher Hall tangled in a hand shortly after tables broke to the final three.

Hall, who had 2,700,000, was one of the shortest stacks remaining in the field and he moved all in before being called by Burgin, who had his opponent covered.

Hall: 9♠9♦
Burgin: A♣9♣

Hall held the lead before cards were placed on the board, but the flop of 10♦A♥5♥ put Burgin in command. The dealer then placed 10♥ on the turn and 8♦ on the river to end Hall’s run in the tournament.

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Sean Ahrens, who was in the blind, defended a raise from Robert Gittelman. Heads up, they saw a board of 8♥4♣10♠ and Arehs went all in. Gittelman called.

Sean Ahrens: Q♥8♣
Robert Gittelman: K♣K♦

Ahrens realized he was behind and stood up, while hoping to hit a queen or an eight. The J♥ and the 5♠ squashed any hope of the gold for Ahrens and Gittelman soared up in the chip counts.

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Anthony Ibrahim was on fumes as he jammed his last 450,000 into the middle from the hijack and Taylor Durmer isolated next to act, shoving his entire stack across the line. The button and blinds quickly got out of the way and both hands were tabled.

Anthony Ibrahim: 10♦9♣
Taylor Durmer: 8♦8♣

"It's a race!" Yelled Ibrahim to his rail.

The flop of K♦J♣2♠ gave Ibrahim some hope as he flopped a gutshot straight draw to go along with his two live cards but the 6♥ turn and 7♥ river weren't any help as he was sent to the payout desk in 25th place.

Ka Chun Kan raised under the gun before Andrew Dudley jammed his 3,100,000 into the middle. The action quickly folded around to Kan and he wasted no time making the call.

Andrew Dudley: K♥K♠
Ka Chun Kan: A♠A♥

Dudley ran into the best hand in the game and couldn't find a king on the 7♦7♥2♦5♥9♠ run out, sending him home in 26th Place for $13,438.

Li Surges After Three Knockouts

Herbie Teope

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

The players are down to the final three tables, and they can thank WSOP bracelet winner Pei Li for getting them there.

In a span of three out of five hands, Li knocked out three players by himself.

In the first hand, he raised under the gun and was re-raised all-in by the big blind. Li quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Li: 10♠10♦
Opponent: A♥9♠

The board ran out 5♠6♥J♠J♥6♥, giving Li the hand and sending his opponent to the rail.

On the very next hand, a player on the button went all in and Li made an instant call and tabled K♥K♦ even before his opponent tabled A♥10♣.

The dealer fanned out 8♥2♦9♠5♣4♥, which saw Li responsible for consecutive knockouts.

Two hands later, Li took out a third player with 10♥10♠.

The three hands are directly responsible for Li’s stack expanding just minutes before the players broke down for the final three.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Erik Cajelais raised to 600,000 in early position and the action folded around to Kenneth O'Donnell in the big blind who announced all-in. Cajelais had about 6,000,000 in chips and pushed a stack across the line to make the call.

Erik Cajelais: 10♠10♦
Kenneth O'Donnell: Q♥Q♠

Cajelais' pocket tens weren't quite good enough to take down the queens of O'Donnell as the board ran out 6♠4♥4♣7♥7♠, sending him to the payout desk.

Russell Probasco raised to 500,000 on the button and Sean Ahrens jammed for 1,450,000 in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Probasco made the call.

Sean Ahrens: Q♥J♠
Russell Probasco: A♠4♦

The K♦10♥6♠ flop gave Ahrens an open-ended straight draw and the 9♥ turn completed the straight. The J♣ completed the board as Ahrens collected the pot.
