Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Liran Betito, Pei Li, and Matthias Auer had already built a pot approaching 1,500,000 with a completed board showing 6♥10♣2♥8♠Q♦. Action checked to Li in the hijack, who fired out 800,000.

Auer quickly folded, but Betito stuck in a call. Li flashed AxKx for just ace-high. "Let's go," Betito yelled, slamming down K♥Q♣ on the table to win the big pot and climb above 10,000,000.

Anirban Das opened to 125,000 from the hijack and received a call from Patrick Tardif in the cutoff. Gabi Livshitz three-bet to 550,000 from the small blind and Das made the call while Tardif got out of the way.

Livshitz opted to check on the 6♥4♠5♥ flop and Das bet 450,000. Livshitz made the call.

The turn was the 4♦ and Livshitz check-called another bet from Das, this time for 675,000.

Both players checked the 7♥ river. Das tabled 8♥8♦ for a rivered straight to win the pot and take a big chunk out of Livshitz's stack.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alexander Villa raised to 130,000 from the cutoff before Matt Salsberg moved all in for 695,000 on the button. Tim Van Loo in the small blind gave it some thought before mucking, but big blind Quan Zhou snap-shoved for his last 800,000. Villa folded to leave Salsberg and Zhou heads-up.

Matt Salsberg: A♥J♦
Quan Zhou: A♣Q♠

Salsberg was dominated and fell far behind on the Q♦8♣5♦ flop as Zhou made top pair. The Q♣ turn gave Zhou trips and left Salsberg drawing dead heading to the 5♣, ending the Hollywood screenwriter's Main Event run.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Eduards Rakuss was the initial raiser from under the gun and Tyler Stafman had come along to the Q♥J♥8♣ flop on which Rakuss check-jammed for975,000 into a bet of 150,000 by Stafman. The instant call via single chip was a bad sign for the Latvian.

Eduards Rakuss: K♦K♥
Tyler Stafman: 10♠9♠

The over pair of Rakuss was on very thin ice but somehow got there on the 5♥ turn and 2♥ river, which saw several players erupt in shock. One of them declared "this guy just can't die" while a disgusted Stafman snapped a picture of the sucker punch and shared it with friends.

Andrey Pateychuk had a raise to 375,000 in front of him in early position before Alec Torelli reraised to 1,000,000 from the big blind.

Pateychuk then announced he was all in, sending Torelli deep in the tank for his last 3,300,000. "What a spot. One hundred and fifty left in the Main Event and here I am," Torelli said to himself.

"You put me in the absolute blender kid. What am I going to regret more," Torelli continued as the minutes ticked off the clock. He eventually slammed his cards into the muck and Pateychuk took the pot without showing.
