Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yilu Yuan moved all in for 420,000 from early position and Thiago Crema called next to act. Action folded around to Pei Li on the button, and he announced a reshove for his last 1,520,000. Crema spent several minutes in the tank before he called, having Li barely covered.

Yilu Yuan: 9♦9♥
Pei Li: K♣K♠
Thiago Crema: J♠J♣

Li had woken up with kings and moved further in front on the K♦5♦2♥ flop with top set. The Q♠ turn left both opponents drawing dead, and he secured the massive pot following the Q♣ river. Yuan was eliminated, while Crema handed over most of his stack.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Richard Seymour on the button had Xuming Qi in the big blind all in and at risk.

Xuming Qi: 8♠8♣
Richard Seymour: A♠5♦

Qi, though at risk, was ahead. Unfortunately for him, the flop came 4♠7♠A♥ to give Seymour top pair and leave Qi on the brink. Nothing changed on either the 10♦ turn or 6♥ river to send Qi to the rail while keeping the three time super bowl champion chipping up.

Zanot Runs Into Richez's Kings

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Thomas Zanot won a $6,000,000 jackpot playing Pai Gow earlier this year. But the poker pro won't be adding the $12,100,000 Main Event top prize after a preflop all in confrontation against Clement Richez.

Zanot three-bet to 180,000 from middle position before Richez made it 525,000. Zanot then shoved all in for around 1,600,000 and Richez snap-called.

Thomas Zanot: A♠9♠
Clement Richez: K♦K♠

Richez asked the dealer to hold up dealing the flop as he whipped out his phone and began taking pictures of the action as the board finally came 4♠7♣K♥, giving him top set.

"That's a good start," Zanot said, resigned to his fate as 6♦ turn left him drawing dead heading to the 9♣ river as Richez scooped the massive pot.

Shortly after, Harsheel Kothari eliminated Maryjo Zogman on the same table.

Tyler Foran

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After losing a massive pot to Andrew Hulme, Hermilo Garza was in the action once again.

Benjamin Grise had bet 450,000 into the pot of about 800,000 on the completed board of J♥9♠8♠8♣K♠, and Hermilo Garza shoved for his last 760,000.

Grise snap-called to see Garza's J♣J♠ for jacks full of eights, but it was no good as Grise tabled K♦K♣, eliminating Garza with a bigger full house.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andrew Hulme	6,440,000 2,690,000	2,690,000

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Nicholas Rigby opened to 80,000 from under the gun only to see Camden Mariotti three-bet to 225,000 in middle position. Action folded back around to Rigby who four-bet enough to force Mariotti all in with the latter calling off for his remaining 755,000.

Camden Mariotti: J♠J♣
Nicholas Rigby: A♥K♠

Mariotti would need to win a flip to survive but that seemed an unlikely outcome after the flop came A♣7♠6♥. The 9♠ turn left Mariotti needing to find a jack on the river to survive but he was unable to do so with the 3♥ completing the board instead.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Adam Grovenstein opened to 65,000 from under the gun and was called by Sasha Guerin in late position.

The 5♣K♦7♥ flop saw Grovenstein continue for 50,000 with Guerin making the call to send action to the turn.

Grovenstein decided to slow down following the 9♥ turn, checking to Guerin who pushed 95,000 into the middle. After some thought, Grovenstein called.

The 10♠ hit the felt on the river, prompting Grovensein to take over the betting lead by making it 55,000 to call. Guerin, unperturbed, raised to 250,000 to leave himself just 25,000 behind. Grovenstein responded by putting his opponent all in and Guerin quickly called holding 7♦7♣ for the flopped set. It was no good, however, as Grovenstein tabled 10♦10♣ for the rivered higher set to send Guerin to the rail in brutal fashion.

Ryan Brown opened to 65,000 from middle position before calling after Bert van Doesburg moved all in for 720,000 in the cutoff.

Bert van Doesburg: AxQx
Ryan Brown: AxAx

Brown held a commanding lead and did not relinquish it on the 10♥3♥10♠2♦K♣ runout to send van Doesburg to the payout desk and score another knockout.

Xie Runs into Jacks

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Manh Nguyen opened to 60,000 from middle position before Brian Xie jammed for 665,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Nguyen who tanked for some time before flicking in a chip to call.

Brian Xie: 7♠7♣
Manh Nguyen: J♥J♦

Nguyen made a set on the J♣10♣4♠ flop leaving Xie drawing thin. The 3♣ gave the at risk player a flush draw but Nguyen filled up on the 3♥ river.
