Level 33 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Andrew Bak
Andrew Bak

In the first hand after the break, Andrew Bak shoved from the hijack and action folded to Jose Rivas in the big blind who asked for a count. Bak confirmed he had 6,500,000 behind. Rivas looked at his cards and quickly called.

Jose Rivas: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Andrew Bak: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to give Rivas trip aces immediately.

The turn was the {5-Spades} which meant Bak was drawing dead.

The {q-Spades} on the river improved Rivas' hand to a full house and Bak was sent to the payout desk in sixth place for €27,382.

The five remaining players have all locked up at least €37,321 and the WSOPE Main Event Ticket worth €10,350.

Little Dent in Levi's Stack

Level 32 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Shahar Levi's rampage has been momentarily halted by Vangelis Kaimakamis after the latter won a small pot off the runaway chip leader. It was Levi who made it 800,000 on the button and Kaimakamis defended. Both players checked the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop. Kaimakamis check-called 1,300,000 on the {k-Diamonds} turn.

The {9-Clubs} river prompted the Greek to lead out for 950,000. Levi called but Kaimakamis had {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Levi flashed {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} and mucked.
