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

Brad Albrinck opened 210,000 in the cutoff and Alexandre Reard flatted on the button before Connor Rash jammed all-in for about 3,400,000. Albrinck tanked for about 30 seconds before calling off his stack of about 2,600,000 and Reard snap-called, covering both.

Brad Albrinck: A♥J♦ All in
Connor Rash: 10♥10♠ All in
Alexandre Reard: K♥K♦

Reard set the perfect trap preflop and you could hear his rail grown as the ace came in the window on the A♣K♠8♥, but was met with cheers as the king was seen next. The J♥ turn gave both players a chance to crack Reard's set as Rash picked up a gutshot straight draw and Albrinck made two pair. However, the 3♣ river changed nothing, sending both players to the rail.

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

Egor Procop limped in from the small blind and Adrian Mateos made it 300,000 from the big blind. Procop then shoved for a little over 2,000,000, and Mateos called.

Egor Procop: K♣5♣ All in
Adrian Mateos: A♠8♠

Procop needed to find some help from the dealer and did pair his five on the 8♦5♠10♦ flop, but Mateos also paired his eight. The 2♥ turn changed nothing, but Procop's survival instincts kicked in and he willed in the K♠ river, which gave him two pair and kept his tournament life alive.

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

Adrian Mateos opened to 160,000 in the hijack and James Chen jammed 1,000,000 next to act. The action quickly folded back to Mateos and he made the call.

James Chen: A♦5♦ All in
Adrian Mateos: 9♣9♦

The 7♥6♥4♥ flop gave Chen some extra outs with an open-ended straight draw. The 9♥ turn improved Mateos to a set of nines and the A♠ river meant Chen was headed to the payout desk in tenth place.

Eric Baldwin: A♦6♠ All in
Brad Albrinck: A♠J♥

Baldwin was in rough shape and found no help on the A♥Q♣4♦J♠7♦ runout to hit the rail in 11th place.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened 120,000 in the cutoff and Adrian Mateos three-bet 375,000 on the button. Mateos responded with a four-bet jam and Chen called off his stack of 1,385,000.

James Chen: 9♥9♦ All in
Adrian Mateos: A♥Q♣

It was a race and the Q♥J♦8♣ flop gave Mateos the lead with a pair of queens. However, the 9♠ fell on the turn, for Chen to make a set and the K♠ river changed nothing.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Michael Rocco opened 120,000 in the hijack and only Fahredin Mustafov made the call from the big blind.

When the J♥10♠2♣ flop hit the felt, Mustafov check-called a bet of 100,000.

The Q♥ fell on the turn and Mustafov checked again before Rocco fired 375,000 into the middle. Mustafov called.

The 6♦ completed the board on the river, and Mustafov check-called another bet, this time Rocco pushed 900,000 across the line.

Rocco tabled A♠A♣, and Mustafov mucked his hand.

Kai Cocklin

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Brad Albrinck opened the hijack to 120,000 and Alexandre Reard three-bet from the cutoff to 300,000. Aram Zobian was in the big blind and shoved all in, which got Albrinck to fold, but Reard quickly called for his stack of 1,940,000.

Alexandre Reard: A♣K♥ All in
Aram Zobian: A♥Q♥

Reard, who won this event last year, was in a great spot to double up and leap up the counts towards the summit. For a brief moment, Reard perhaps feared for his tournament life as he saw the Q♦10♦J♦ flop which paired Zobian's queen, but gave Reard Broadway.

A 6♦ on the turn brought around some more chop opportunities but the 8♥ river was clean for Reard, who doubled up.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov raised from under the gun to 100,000 and Viktor Blom shoved the button for around 1,200,000. Once the blinds folded, Mustafov made the call that put Blom at risk.

Viktor Blom: 7♥7♦ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: 10♦10♣

Blom was in a lot of trouble and never managed to improve on the J♦5♠5♥K♥J♠ runout which sent him to the rail in twelfth.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

James Chen opened 100,000 in the cutoff and Aleks Dimitrov called in the small blind before Nick Palma jammed about 950,000 in the big blind. Chen moved all in as well, forcing Dimitrov to fold and both hands were tossed on their backs.

Nick Palma: A♦10♣ All in
James Chen: A♣Q♠

"I'm due to get lucky in one of these spots," Palma said as he saw the cards.

Unfortunately for him this was not the time as the 7♣5♥3♣6♥5♦ run out was no help.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The blinds were still 20,000/40,000 with a 40,000 big blind ante and Connor Rash opened 80,000 on the button. Only Toby Joyce made the call in the big blind.

When the 10♥9♠3♠ flop hit the felt, Joyce check-called a bet of 100,000.

The 3♣ fell on the turn, and Joyce check-called another bet of 105,000.

When the 10♦ river double-paired the board, Joyce checked and Rash announced an all-in. Joyce went into the tank for almost ten minutes, before dropping some chips across the line to call off his stack of about 815,000.

Rash tabled A♠A♣, and Joyce whipped his cards face down into the muck as he exited the table.
