In the last hand before the break, Manelic Minaya limped from the small blind and Kevin Song made it 825,000 from the big blind. Minaya then min-raised to 1,400,000, and Song called.

On the 10♣A♥J♦ flop, both players checked to the 2♠ turn where Minaya check-called of bet of 1,200,000 from Song.

A 7♣ landed on the river and both players elected to check. Minaya announced that he had a jack and tabled K♠J♥, and Song mucked.

Paul Runge limped in from the small blind and Felix Barriga checked from the big blind.

On the K♠4♣10♣ flop, Runge bet 300,000, and Barriga called.

The A♣ turn and J♦ river were both checked to showdown where Runge tabled 5♦4♥ for a pair of fours, but Barriga had the winner after he flopped a pair of tens holding 10♦6♥.

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Paul Runge shoved from the button for around 3,900,000 and Michael Minetti called out of the big blind for his last 2,125,000.

Michael Minetti: K♦J♠ All in
Paul Runge: 10♥9♠

Minetti was ahead and at risk and felt slightly more relaxed after seeing the 3♣K♣4♠ flop, which improved him to top pair. Runge would need running cards to eliminate his opponent but neither the 8♥ turn nor 7♥ river offered any help.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Minetti	4,700,000 2,300,000	2,300,000
Paul Runge	1,700,000 -2,200,000	-2,200,000

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Manelic Minaya raised to 600,000 from the early position and Felix Barriga three-bet to 2,100,000 from the hijack to leave himself with 1,000,000 behind. The action folded back to Minaya, who considered it for a bit and then called.

The flop came K♥4♥J♦, Minaya put Barriga all in, who snap-called.

Felix Barriga: A♥Q♥ All in
Manelic Minaya: A♠Q♠

"Split pot!" Minaya exclaimed. "Oh no, wait, I didn't see that," he then commented when he saw that Barriga had the flush draw.

The turn was the 7♦, which didn't change anything, but the 2♥ on the river did deliver the flush to Barriga for the double-up.

Manelic Minaya	8,200,000 -2,300,000	-2,300,000
