Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alex Livingston moved all in for 275,000 from early position and was looked up by Guillermo Sanchez Otero on the button.

Alex Livingston: J♠10♠ All in
Guillermo Sanchez Otero: 7♦7♠

"I like my hand," Livingston told the table as he saw that he would need to win a flip to survive. The A♣Q♥K♣ flop instantly improved the at-risk player to broadway and seemingly locked up the pot for Livingston. Otero found some hope, however, on the 7♥ turn with the A♦ river completing a rollercoaster runout that saw Otero's runner-runner full house down the flopped joint of Livingston.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised with A♠A♦ from middle position and Hon Cheong Lee called with 6♠6♥, who was sitting to the direct left of Lonis.

The 6♣ turn brought in the full house for Lee as he stormed ahead. Lonis left with only an Ace as an out. Lonis continued betting to 185,000 and Lee called.

The river came the A♣, and Lonis regained the lead. Lonis bet 480,000 and Lee shoved for 930,000, with Lonis making a snap call.

Lee was knocked out of the tournament with no chance of getting away after a brutal runout.

Kristen Foxen opened to 60,000 from early position and received calls from Hai Pham on the button as well as Yingge Yan in the big blind.

Yingge Yan: A♥10♣ All in
Kristen Foxen: A♣A♦

The case ace had made its way onto the flop to leave Yan drawing dead as the dealer quickly completed the board with Q♥J♣ to hand Foxen a sizable pot as her strong Day 5 continues.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

"It might be the biggest pot of the tournament so far," a player told PokerNews, looking at the 2,000,000 chip pot and the 3♣8♥10♣2♠ board he had in front of him.

According to this player, the cutoff opened preflop, Jacob Thibodeau on the button three-bet to 200,000, and Boris Angelov in the big blind four-bet to 550,000. Thibodeau called, then on the flop, he called a continuation bet of 500,000.

On the turn, Angelov bet 750,000 and Thibodeau called once more to see the 10♦ river, where Angelov moved all-in for approximately 2,000,000.

Thibodeau went deep into the tank, and after more than five minutes, he still couldn't make a decision. But when another player called the clock, Thibodeau made the call with JxJx. However Angelov had A♣A♥ and scooped this massive pot. Thibodeau was covered, so he was eliminated in 300st place for $45,000.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

James Reid raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Diogo Veiga called on the button. Alexandros Michas then moved all in for 700,000 in the big blind, Reid called, and Veiga folded.

Alexandros Michas: 5♥5♠ All in
James Reid: A♥A♦

Reid has woken up with aces to leave Michas at serious risk of elimination, and no help was forthcoming on the 8♣Q♣7♠J♠4♣ as Michas was sent to the rail.

"I had sevens," Veiga said, admitting he would've hit a set to win the pot had he played.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded to Jim Reid in the small blind and he pushed all-in for Antoine Saout to call with the covering stack from the big blind.

Jim Reid: 3♣3♠ All in
Antoine Saout: K♠Q♦

Reid asked for low cards but then asked for clubs on the Q♣J♣5♣ flop. That came with the 2♣ turn to leave Saout drawing dead to win the pot, as the 2♠ river paired the board. Reid asked for 405,000 and Saout was left with 120,000.

One hand later, Saout jammed for 120,000 in the small blind and Diogo Veiga called in the big blind.

Antoine Saout: Q♠7♣ All in
Diogo Veiga: A♣J♥

The 9♣4♠2♦10♠10♣ board missed both players and ace-jack dealt the final blow. Saout had reached the WSOP Main Event final table in Las Vegas including a third place for $3,479,669 in 2009.

Reid then declared he had used his one time, to which Oren Haziza replied "oh, you get a new one tomorrow".

"You get a one time every day? I didn't know that ... you learn something every day," Reid finished the conversation.

Jonathan Little was on the button and got his last 500,000 in the middle against Kyosuke Nagami in the small blind.

Jonathan Little: AxQx All in
Kyosuke Nagami: A♣K♠

Little was dominated as the 9♦8♠8♣ flop left open the possibility of a chop. The 6♥ turn was no help, while the 2♣ fell on the river to mark the end of Little's Main Event.

Laura Fryer

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After loosing most of his stack in a previous bad beat, Adrian Mateos was all in for 255,000 from middle position and was called by James Tian to his direct left.

Adrian Mateos: 2♥2♣ All in
James Tian: 7♦7♣

The 8♦5♣J♣A♠Q♥ runout didn't improve Mateos, and his time in the main event came to an end.
