Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 4♥3♦9♠, Daniel Dzian bet 200,000 from the cutoff before Sam Stein, under the gun, raised to 650,000.

Dzian instantly flicked in a chip to signify a call as the 8♦ fell on the turn. Stein then led out for 925,000 and Dzian again threw in just a single chip to call before assembling the rest of the bet.

The river came the K♦ and Stein built a tower of purple 100,000 chips, sliding it into the middle for a bet of 2,200,000. Dzian snap-called and Stein showed 9♦4♦ for two pair.

Dzian mucked as Stein, who began the day with just 4,450,000, took in the pot to climb up to nearly 17,000,000.

Sam Stein	16,500,000 4,200,000	4,200,000

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Juan Maceiras Lapido and Koveh Waysei were heads-up in a pot with over 1,000,000 in the middle and the flop reading 8♦7♣5♣. Lapido led out with a bet of 500,000. Waysei shipped all in for a little over 4,000,000 and Lapido rose from his seat. As he roughly counted his opponent's stack, Lapido slid out some chips to make the call.

Koveh Waysei: J♣9♣
Juan Maceiras Lapido: 5♥5♦

Lapido flopped a set of fives but Waysei had a big combo draw. The 7♠ paired the board on the turn to give Lapido a full house and Waysei was left drawing dead to the 6♦ on the river.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jack O'Neill had a big pile of chips pushed in front of him after seeing off Ryan Brown. O'Neill briefly recapped the hand to PokerNews.

O'Neil said he opened in the cutoff and called when Brown three-bet from the small blind.

O'Neill then called for 600,000 on the Kx6x5x flop, bringing the pot to about 3,000,000.

On the 10x turn O'Neill called another bet of 1,100,000, and he called when his opponent jammed for 2,500,000 on the 4x river.

Brown had AxQx for ace-high while O'Neill had a set with his 10x10x.

"Let's goooo!" Liran Betito screamed from the top of his lungs after being heads up against Timothy Faro on a flop of 8♠4♣3♣ when the A♣ fell on the turn.

Faro was all in with the Q♣7♣ for a flush, but Betito, with the K♣8♣, had the nuts. That made the 9♥ river a formality as Faro was sent to the payout desk.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Toby Lewis contemplates a river call vs Sachin Joshi.

Toby Lewis, who made a crazy fold with an ace-high flush yesterday against what ended up being a bluff, was put in another tough spot in a heads-up pot against Sachin Joshi on a board of J♣5♠8♠Q♠4♦.

With several million in chips already in the middle, Joshi bet all in. This sent Lewis into the tank as he considered calling off with around 3,000,000 left in his stack. After about five minutes seeming to be in deep thought, Lewis called.

Joshi could only show ace-high with A♠9♥ as Lewis tabled J♥J♦ to win with a set of jacks.

Sachin Joshi	8,100,000 6,970,000	6,970,000

Christian Harder was moved over to table 622 after the one seat was ousted by Liran Betito. Soon after that, he flipped against Betito in a preflop contest.

Christian Harder: A♥K♣
Liran Betito: 4♦4♣

The board ran out 10♥6♥4♥7♥10♦ and Betito rivered a full house for the win.

Viliyan Petleshkov then clashed in a large flip with Ryan Tosoc, the other big stack at the table.

Viliyan Petleshkov: J♠J♦
Ryan Tosoc: A♥K♣

This time, ace-king came out on top. With a board running out K♠3♣3♦A♦9♠ Tosoc became one of the biggest stacks in the field.

Lewis Bounces Troha to the Rail

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sean Troha was one of the shortest stacks in the room and shoved all in for his last 820,000 from middle position. Toby Lewis reshoved all in from the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

Sean Troha: A♦5♥
Toby Lewis: A♠10♠

Lewis was in a dominating position and the flop of A♥8♦4♥ left it that way. The 9♥ on the turn gave Troha a flush draw but the 8♠ on the river sent him to the payout desk.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look like Chance Kornuth?" one player asked Christopher Ruch after the hand.

"I don't even know who that is," Ruch responded, which got a table full of laughs.
