Tyler Foran

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

Zachary Schwartz and Bryce Yockey both put 240,000 in the middle to see the A♦K♣8♦ flop and Schwartz check-called a bet of 225,000.

When the 9♥ hit the turn, both players tapped the table to see the 4♦ river.

Schwartz checked once again and Yockey fired 375,000.

Schwartz took about 30 seconds, then made the call to see the A♥Q♦10♦7♥ of Yockey, giving him a diamond flush, before mucking his hand.

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

Joao Vieira opened for 200,000 in the hijack and Brian Rast defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥8♣5♥ and Rast pushed a stack across the line for a bet of 500,000. Vieira quickly announced a raise and Rast called off his stack of 665,000.

Brian Rast: 10♠7♠6♠7♣ All in
Joao Vieira: K♦J♥10♦6♥

Rast had flopped top pair and a straight draw, but was going to need to catch up against the higher kicker of Vieira, who also had top pair to go with his flush draw. The 2♠ turn and 3♦ river were no help and Rast exited the tournament in tenth place.

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

Bryce Yockey opened to 200,000 from early position and Farid Jattin three-bet to 625,000 from the hijack. Naoya Kihara four-bet shoved for 2,300,000 from the cutoff, forcing a fold from Yockey while Jattin made the call to put Kihara at risk.

Naoya Kihara: A♦A♠Q♦3♣ All in
Farid Jattin: A♣Q♣10♦3♦

Kihara was ahead with his aces but Jattin picked up the nut-flush draw on the K♣9♥7♣ flop and then drilled the flush on the 4♣ turn, leaving Kihara drawing dead. After the K♠ river was dealt Kihara made his exit from the tournament area while Jattin dragged in a sizable pot.

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

Joao Simao limped under the gun, followed by Jason Berilgen in the hijack before Bryce Yockey put in a raise to 500,000 from the small blind. Both Simao and Berilgen called.

When the A♠K♥K♣ flop hit the felt, Yockey continued for 400,000 and that was enough to drag the pot.

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

Joao Vieira opened to 250,000 from the button and received calls from Joao Simao in the small blind and Farid Jattin in the big blind.

The flop came K♦7♠7♦. Simao checked, Jattin bet 105,000 and both opponents called.

Jattin bet again for 340,000 when checked to on the 8♠ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from both opponents.

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

Bryce Yockey raised 250,000 in early position and Joao Vieira, Joao Simao, and Paul Radcliffe all made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of J♣7♥5♥ and Radcliffe jammed his last 595,000 into the middle. Yockey thought about it for about a minute while eying the other players' stacks before announcing a pot-sized raise. Vieira quickly folded, but Simao pushed his stack of about 2,700,000 across the line and all three hands were tabled.

Paul Radcliffe: Q♦J♥8♣3♥ All in
Joao Simao: 5♣5♦4♣4♦ All in
Bryce Yockey: K♦10♥9♥8♥

It was an action flop as everyone caught a piece, but the 10♠ turn gave Bryce the best hand as he made a jack-high straight. The 2♣ river changed nothing, sending Radcliffe out in eighth place and Simao out in seventh place.
