Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Raymond Mancini opened from under the gun to 250,000 and Derek Stark three-bet to 1,000,000 in the hijack, with 500,000 behind. Steven Parkin, who was in the cutoff, committed his last 700,000 chips and Mancini opted to get out of the way.

Steven Parkin: A♣K♥ All in
Derek Stark: A♦A♥

Stark improved to top set on the 2♥A♠5♥ flop, leaving his opponent on the ropes. Parkin would need runner-runner straight for a chop to stay alive.

The turn landed the 9♥, locking up the win for Stark and the meaningless 3♠ completed the board.

Level 28 : 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded around to Peter Placey in the small blind, who moved all in, putting his opponent, Damien Wierzbicki, at risk in the big blind. Wierzbicki made the call.

Damien Wierzbicki: A♠10♦ All in
Peter Placey: Q♠J♦

The 8♥9♥4♥ flop was safe for Wierzbicki, but Placey pulled ahead on the J♣ turn. The river brought the 4♦, and Placey dragged in the pot, ending Wierzbicki's tournament run.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Richy Rob was down to just 250,000 early in the day and spun it to well over a million before going all in and being isolated by the bigger stack of Bradley Gafford.

Richy Rob: A♦Q♥
Bradley Gafford: A♠K♣

Rob was rooting for a chop when the 3♦7♥3♠ board rolled off but the turn and river were bricks and he was reluctantly sent to the payouts.
