Kai Cocklin

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

Paul Runge shoved the hijack for over 4,000,000 and Michael Minetti made the call from the button for his last 3,000,000.

Michael Minetti: 4♦4♠ All in
Paul Runge: A♠K♥

Minetti was flipping for his tournament life and stayed in the lead after the dealer put out a flop of J♠2♣9♥.

Runge took the lead on the A♥ turn which left Minetti with just two outs to survive. It was Runge who improved on the river as the A♣ gave him trips, and eliminated Minetti in seventh place.

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

The action folded to Manelic Minaya in the small blind who shoved all in, and Kevin Song made the call for his last 1,500,000 from the big blind.

Kevin Song: K♠10♠ All in
Manelic Minaya: K♦7♦

Song was the favorite to win the hand and double up but everything changed once the dealer put out a flop of 2♦A♦J♦, which gave Minaya the nut flush. There was no chance for Song to win the hand as the meaningless runout of 8♠4♣ confirmed his elimination in eighth place.

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

Buck Bucceri shoved from the middle position for around 4,400,000 for the action to fold to Felix Barriga in the big blind. Barriga looked down at his hole cards and quickly made the call.

Buck Bucceri: 10♠9♠ All in
Felix Barriga: A♥A♦

Bucceri put his hands in his hair and nodded while Barriga quickly shouted out what he held to his rail while the rest of the players at the table smiled.

The flop came 7♠5♣K♦ to keep Barriga ahead.

The turn was the 8♦ for Bucceri to pick up the open-ended straight draw but the river completed the board with the 5♠. Bucceri was eliminated in ninth place and quickly made his way off the stage while all the players congratulated Barriga and each other.

Yucel Eminoglu: A♣J♦

The board ran out 7♦7♥7♣K♠10♣ for Runge to hold with the pocket pair for a full house to double up.

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

Gary Fisher shoved for around 3,000,000 but Sean Jazayeri hadn't seen it and announced a raise to 700,000. Upon realizing that Fisher had shoved, Jazayeri had the choice to act but elected to fold, which meant he forfeited the chips he put into the pot. Everybody else at the table folded and Fisher increased his stack by around fifty percent with that shove.

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.

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.

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♥.
