Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Leo Soma started the action with a raise to 30,000 and got called by Ryan Tosoc on the button and Joe Hachem in the big blind.

The flop revealed 5♥4♥2♦ and it checked to Tosoc who bet 40,000. Hachem replied with a raise to 150,000 and Soma got out of the way. Tosoc took a minute and called.

On the 4♣ turn, Hachem fired 250,000 and Tosoc called again.

The K♥ completed the board on the river and Hachem shoved, covering Tosoc's stack. The latter snap-folded and Hachem grabbed the nice pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With Michael Mizrachi making his way to the payout cage, PokerNews caught up with his former table who recounted his bust-out hand.

The under-the-gun player raised to 30,000, Dean Lyall two spots to their left called and Michael Mizrachi defended in the big blind.

The flop of 9x7x4x checked through to the 10x on the turn. Mizrachi took the lead for 50,000, the original raiser folded and Lyall raised enough to put 'The Grinder' all in for his tournament life. Mizrachi called.

Michael Mizrachi: Jx10x
Dean Lyall: 9x9x

The rivered Jx couldn't help Mizrachi and he was sent to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jordan Westmorland raised 30,000 in early position and Nikita Luther called from a couple of spots to his left before Thien Chung Wu three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. Westmorland mucked his hand but Luther stuck around.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♠J♠5♥, and Luther checked to Chung Wu. Wu announced all-in for 665,000 and Luther snap-called, dropping a stack of greens across the line.

Thien Chung Wu: A♣K♦
Nikita Luther: A♦J♥

Wu flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no good against Luther's top two pair. Wu couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board completed with the 7♠ on the turn and the 6♣ on the river.

Leo Soma, who won his first bracelet in last year's $1,500 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event, opened to 40,000 from the hijack and received calls from a player on the button and David Eldridge in the big blind.

On the 10♥ turn Eldridge bet 200,000. Soma once again made the call.

The river was the 9♦. Eldridge moved all in, covering Soma's remaining stack of 280,000. Soma thought about his decision for about a minute before putting in the call.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dario Sammartino and Ryan Garcia got all of their chips in the middle preflop and it was Garcia at risk for a little over 200,000.
