Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Farid Jattin opened to 275,000 from middle position, Bryce Yockey three-bet to 950,000 from the small blind and Jattin made the call.

The flop came A♦Q♥J♣ and Yockey fired a 650,000 continuation bet that was called by Jattin.

Both players checked the 2♦ turn leading to the 7♥ river. Yockey bet 2,800,000 and after a brief tank Jattin made the call.

Yockey showed down A♥A♣6♦5♥ for top set. Jattin mucked and Yockey collected a gargantuan pot to extend his lead over the rest of the field.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Jason Berilgen was all in from the button for 1,775,000 and up against Farid Jattin who had him covered.

Jason Berilgen: K♦K♥Q♥3♣ All in
Farid Jattin: A♠A♥Q♣J♥

Berilgen was in rough shape against Jattin's aces and found no help on the 2♠8♠8♥ flop. The J♠ turn changed nothing but the K♠ river gave Berilgen a full house.

"Oh my god. I'm never this lucky" Berilgen commented as he dragged in a full double up.

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

Three players saw the 8♥6♠4♠ flop and Joao Vieira checked to Farid Jattin, who bet 160,000. Bryce Yockey folded his hand, but Vieira made the call.

The J♥ hit the turn and Vieira check-called another bet, this time for 640,000.

When the A♥ hit the river, both players tapped the table.

Vieira tabled 10♥9♥5♦4♣, backing into a ten-high flush, and Jattin flashed the 7♥5♥, showing a flopped straight that made a smaller flush.

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.

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

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.
