Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Cong Pham open-jammed a stack of 2,400,000 in the cutoff and Jan-Peter Jachtmann called in the big blind.

Cong Pham: 8♥7♥
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: A♣2♥

Pham needed to hit an eight or a seven and didn't get much help from the 9♥4♠2♠ flop. The 5♦ turn gave him additional outs with a gunshot but the 4♦ bricked off on the river to mark his elimination in 12th place for $535,000 as Jachtmann received a small boost after taking a big hit the previous hand.

The deep run gives the Florida native his biggest career cash, besting his third-place finish in the 2013 Borgata Poker Open that brought him $301,225.

The flop came K♥3♥3♦ and Walton checked to Lewis who made a small bet of 2,000,000. Walton called and the A♠ peeled off on the turn. Walton checked again and Lewis slid out a bet of 12,000,000 this time. Walton instantly folded and Lewis dragged in the pot.

Daniel Weinman raised to 1,600,000 in the hijack with K♥7♥ and earned calls from Daniel Holzner on the button as well as Juan Maceiras in the big blind.

The A♥A♣10♣ flop was checked to Holzner, who held K♠Q♠ and had 1,200,000 behind. He bet all but one T-100,000 chip. Maceiras folded his 7♠2♠, and Weinman could all but grin while he was contemplating the decision.

Eventually, Weinman folded, and the rail from Italy celebrated.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Juan Maceiras raised to 1,600,000 from under the gun with A♣9♠ and it folded all the way to Alec Torelli in the big blind, who had a mere seven blinds after he had paid the big blind ante.

Torelli went into the tank for more than three minutes during which he engaged with his opponent in table chat before he eventually folded his Q♣9♥.

The stack of Torelli tumbled further and he is one of three severe short stacks on the same table.
