Stephan Nussrallah opened to 650,000 from the cutoff and Andrew Moreno announced all in out of the big blind. Nussrallah called off for his tournament life.

Stephan Nussrallah: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Andrew Moreno: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Nussrallah was flipping to survive and pulled way out in front on the {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} flop. The {9-Spades} turn did give Moreno a gutshot and it came in on the {q-Diamonds} river to send Nussrallah to the rail in gut wrenching fashion.

Daniel Smiljkovic moved in his remaining short stack for about two big blinds from the small blind and Diego Sanchez called in the big blind.

Daniel Smiljkovic: {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Diego Sanchez: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

"I didn't even look," said Sanchez, who didn't have to call for much more and happened to pick up aces to leave Smiljkovic in a rough spot for his tournament life.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs} to change nothing, eliminating Smiljkovic in eighth place, good for $86,119.

Romero Doubles Through Smiljkovic

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
James Romero
James Romero

James Romero limped from the small blind and Daniel Smiljkovic announced all in out of the big blind. Romero snap-called with the shorter stack to put himself at risk.

James Romero: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Daniel Smiljkovic: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Romero was way ahead and in a good spot to get a crucial double up. The {k-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop changed nothing with the {k-Hearts} turn leaving Smiljkovic drawing to just two outs. There was no miracle on the {q-Spades} river, sending Romero shooting up the leaderboard while leaving Smiljkovic with dust.

Diego Sanchez opened to 725,000 in the small blind and Jinho Hong called out of the big blind to send the two to the flop.

Sanchez continued for 500,000 on the {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop and was called.

Both players checked on the {7-Hearts} turn to see the {q-Clubs} river where Sanchez pushed 2,000,000 into the middle. Hong went deep into the tank but eventually decided to release his hand, sending a sizable pot Sanchez's direction.
