Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kevin Parmley bet 330,000 from the cutoff and was called by James Martini on the button.

The flop of 8♦4♦2♥ was enough for Parmley to commit to a shove for 1,250,000, which was called by Martini.

Kevin Parmley: 9♣8♥
James Martini: 5♣5♥

Parmley's unorthodox play worked out as he spiked top pair. The 3♦3♥ completed the board and Parmley got a much needed double up.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kevin Durgin and Jimmie James went to the turn blind versus blind on a board of Q♥8♥2♦J♣ when Durgin led out for 200,000.

James called to the 5♥ river and Durgin checked this time. James now fired out 400,000 and Durgin tanked for about a minute before he called.

James turned over J♦5♣ for two pair on the river and Durgin let out a frustrated sigh as he showed Q♦10♠ before mucking.

"If I fall asleep will you punch me every now and then?" James asked Durgin shortly afterward.

"I was going to punch you after that river," Durgin joked.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rassoul Malboubi raised to 300,000 in the hijack before Elizabeth Bennett-Martin, from the cutoff, moved all in for 1,460,000. Malboubi threw in a chip to signify a call even before the blinds had a chance to get out of the way.

Elizabeth Bennett-Martin: A♦K♥
Rassoul Malboubi: 7♠7♣

Bennett-Martin's rowdy rail began chanting for an ace as the flop came A♠K♣J♥, giving her top two pair.

The board ran out 8♦4♥ and Malboubi, unlike a previous hand earlier in the day, couldn't find a seven and handed over a double up.

"Lucky Lizzie," Bennett-Martin's rail shouted out as she sat back in her chair.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

David Icke and his wife again clapped their hands in unison as Icke moved all in for 500,000 from under the gun. Richard Wallace called in the cutoff to put him at risk.

David Icke: A♣7♣
Richard Wallace: A♠6♣

"Put a seven out there," Icke asked, and he got his wish on the 3♥K♦3♠7♦5♦ board to double up.

There was some controversy at this table coming back from break where the players couldn't agree where the button should be. Robert Whalen believed he was the button, but Wallace argued he was.

The floor had to be called and play delayed for several minutes as a heated discussion took place. It was eventually ruled the button should be in front of Wallace.

Richard Wallace	3,700,000 2,400,000	2,400,000

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ronald Lane bet 400,000 from middle position on a flop of J♥A♣10♣ before Kevin Parmely raised to 900,000 in the hijack.

Lane came back with a reraise to 2,000,000, Parmely moved all in for around 2,100,000, and Lane called.

Kevin Parmely: A♠J♣
Ronald Lane: A♦10♥

Both players had flopped two pair, but Parmely was ahead with his jack-kicker. The board ran out 6♠A♥, giving a full house to both players and Parmely a massive double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kevin Parmely	4,600,000 300,000	300,000
Ronald Lane	4,500,000 -1,100,000	-1,100,000

"One million," David Icke said as he moved all in from the cutoff. Robert Whalen called in the small blind to put him at risk.

David Icke: A♣4♣
Robert Whalen: Q♦Q♥

"How about an ace," Icke asked, but none came on the 4♠6♠8♦7♣9♦ board as he was sent to the rail in 19th place.

At the same time David Icke was all in on another table, Kevin Durgin had his last 1,100,000 in the middle from the button and was up against Rassoul Malboubi in the big blind.

Kevin Durgin: K♦9♦
Rassoul Malboubi: 7♣7♥

Durgin made a pair on the 8♣6♣9♥ flop and began celebrating as the board ran out A♣2♣ until he realized Malboubi had rivered a flush to send him to the rail in 18th place.
