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

Joe Tehan raised to 200,000 in middle position and found one caller in Hiroki Nawa in the big blind.

Nawa check-called a 150,000 bet from Tehan on the 7♦J♣5♦ flop and then both players checked on the Q♣ turn.

The 8♠ completed the board and Nawa led out for 175,000. Tehan raised to 600,000 and Nawa folded after a bit of thought.

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

With around 1,000,000 in the pot on a board of 4♣A♣8♠7♣, Kalyan Chivukula moved all in for 525,000 in the small blind as action went on Jacob Ferro in early position.

"I never take this long. Sorry guys," Ferro told his tablemates. "I was folding the entire way, but I talked myself into it," he added as he put in the chips to call.

"Nuts," Chivukula said, slamming down K♣10♣ for a flush. Ferro showed A♦Q♦ and was left paying off Chivukula once the 9♠ fell on the river.

At the same time at another table, Brian Kim was all in for 2,100,000 from the small blind and up against Kevin Theodore on the button.

Brian Kim: A♥Q♠ All in
Kevin Theodore: 9x9x

The flop came A♣J♣J♠ to give Kim the lead with two pair. The rest of the board ran out 7♣2♠ and Kim doubled up.

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

Nicholas Howard had raised and Jordan Griff then three-bet to 550,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Howard in the cutoff four-bet to 1,100,000. Back on Griff, he moved all-in and was snapped off by Howard with the covering stack.

Jordan Griff: Q♣Q♦ All in
Nicholas Howard: A♣A♠

The A♦J♠7♣ flop seemingly sealed the fate of Griff but he pulled a rabbit out of the hat thanks to the 10♣ turn and K♦ river, as several players at the table gasped an "oh my god" and took out their phones to snap a picture.

Griff doubled for 3,470,000 and cut the stack of Howard in half, who paid off the double without any emotions and a "nice hand".

Several players at the table pointed out that Griff had used his one time with this fortunate escape.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jordan Griff	7,200,000 3,125,000	3,125,000

Nicholas Howard	3,150,000 -3,475,000	-3,475,000

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

Tomas Szwarcberg opened to 200,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 600,000 by Kenneth Kim in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Szwarcberg, who called.

Szwarcberg check-called a 450,000 bet from Kim on the A♣K♣8♥ flop and then both players checked on the 10♣ turn.

The K♥ filled the river and Szwarcberg led out for 250,000. Kim wanted no part of it and folded — sending the pot Szwarcberg's direction.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tomas Szwarcberg	8,500,000 100,000	100,000

Jose Carlos Lopez Fibla: 7♥7♣ All in
Niklas Astedt: A♠10♦

Astedt found a straight draw with the 8♥J♥K♦ flop, but the 5♠ turn and the 2♠ river didn't change anything and Lopez doubled up.

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

On a flop of A♦Q♠2♣ there were around 1,200,000 chips in the pot when Randy Gattesco bet 250,000, and Joe Tehan called.

The action then checked to showdown on the 6♦ turn and 7♦ river where Gattesco tabled A♥4♥ to claim the pot.

In the next hand on the table, Hiroki Nawa opened from middle position to 225,000 and Joe Tehan three-bet the button to 550,000. Once the blinds folded, Nawa called.

A flop of 9♦Q♥9♥ saw Nawa check-fold to a bet of 225,000 from Tehan.

Jacob Ferro raised to 1,000,000 from early position, leaving himself just 10,000 behind, and action folded to Marco Zevola in the big blind, who announced he was all in for more. Ferro called all in and hands were revealed.

Jacob Ferro: 6♠6♥ All in

It was a race, but the 5♥7♣J♠A♠3♦ runout paired Zevola's ace on the turn to eliminate Ferro.
