Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, Matias Gabrenja got the rest of his chips into the middle against big stack Seth Davies.

Matias Gabrenja: AxJx
Seth Davies: Ax2x

Although Gabrenja had Davies dominated, the flop of Ax8x2x put Davies in the lead with his flopped two-pair. The runout of 9xQx failed to improve Gabrenja and he was eliminated in 11th place.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

After losing a giant pot to Seth Davies in the previous hand, Steven Stolzenfeld three-bet James Anderson to 1,500,000 after he opened to 320,000. Anderson then moved all in, covering Stolzenfeld.

"Well, here we go," Stolzenfeld sighed as he made the call, "I haven't been doing well with these," as he flipped over his hand.

Steven Stolzenfeld: A♠A♦
James Anderson: J♦J♣

Stolzenfeld was looking good with his rockets versus Anderson's jiggities, but the runout of 2♦8♠7♥9♣J♥ gave Anderson a set of jacks on the river to eliminate him in 13th place.
