Alexandre Reard opened the button to 400,000, and Michael Rocco called from the big blind.

They both saw a flop of 8♦6♠3♥, which Rocco checked. Reard bet 500,000. Rocco then check-raised to 1,300,000, and Reard called.

The action slowed as both players checked to showdown on the A♠ turn and 5♠ river.

Rocco tabled 8♠7♣ for a pair of eights, and Reard mucked.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened to 300,000 from the button, and Aram Zobian shoved from the small blind for around 1,500,000. Reard called.

Aram Zobian: A♥6♥ All in
Alexandre Reard: 10♠10♥

Zobian needed some help but with the way that Reard had been running today, it was of no surprise to see the board run out 4♦8♥Q♣10♦9♥, which gave Reard a set and sent Zobian to the rail in fourth.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Michael Rocco shoved for 3,200,000 in the small blind and was called by Alexandre Reard in the big blind.

Michael Rocco: A♥10♠ All in
Alexandre Reard: A♠9♣

Rocco had his opponent dominated and looked set for a double up. The 6♠4♠2♠ flop suddenly made things very dicey for the at risk player as Reard picked up the nut flush draw. The J♣ turn changed nothing with Rocco able to breath a sigh of relief after the 8♦ river completed a safe runout.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Adrian Mateos announced a raise to 400,000 from the cutoff, and Alexandre Reard three-bet the button to 2,000,000. The blinds folded, then Mateos shoved for around 2,200,000 total, and Reard put in the extra chips.

Adrian Mateos: 9♦9♠ All in
Alexandre Reard: A♥9♣

Mateos was in a great spot to double up, but his chances were reduced drastically after the dealer put out a flop of A♣4♣5♦, which paired Reard's ace. A 2♣ on the turn did give Mateos some chop outs, but the 6♣ river wasn't what he needed, which meant the Spanish player was out in fifth.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened to 400,000 from the cutoff, and Aleks Dimitrov jammed for 4,500,000 out of the small blind. Egor Procop then called off for less out of the big blind while Reard got out of the way.

Egor Procop: 10♥10♠ All in
Aleks Dimitrov: J♥J♠

It was a cooler that strongly favored Dimitrov. The 9♣J♣5♥ flop all but sealed the hand for Dimitrov, but things changed on the Q♠ turn with Procop picking up a straight draw. It did not come in, however, on the 6♦ river to bring his deep run to an end in sixth place.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Michael Rocco min-raised to 320,000 from the hijack and Alexandre Reard three-bet the button to 850,000. The blinds folded then Rocco shoved for 1,850,000, and Reard called.

Michael Rocco: 10♠10♥ All in
Alexandre Reard: 9♠9♣

Rocco's pocket tens held up on the 3♠A♣J♠K♣6♠ runout which earned him a double-up, and put a small dent in the stack of Reard.

Michael Rocco limped in the small blind and Adrian Mateos checked his option out of the big blind.

Roco bet out 185,000 on the Q♣9♠J♣ flop. Mateos quickly folded as Rocco won a pot that, though modest, gave him some much needed help with his short stack.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Alexandre Reard has been in cruise control over the last few orbits and picked up countless uncontested pots from the shorter stacks around him.

In the latest hand, Reard opened the cutoff to 330,000 and Egor Procop defended his big blind .

On the flop of 2♠9♠2♦, Procop check-folded to a bet of 160,000 from Reard.

Reard is the hot favorite to secure back-to-back bracelets in the same event after taking down this title in 2023.
