Nível 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded around to Charles Coultas in late position and he raised it up to 190,000. Marty Zabib called from the button and the blinds got out of the way. The dealer produced a flop of {7-Spades} {3-Clubs} and both players checked their option.

Fourth street was the {2-Clubs} and Coultas checked for a second time. Zabib bet 225,000 and Coultas called. The {7-Hearts} completed the board and Coultas check called a bet once again. This time the magic number was 375,000. Zabib showed {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} for king-high but was behind Coultas' {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for ace-high.

Amit Makhija checked the {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} flop to Marc Ladouceur. A bet of 190,000 came from Ladouceur before Makhija check-raised to 450,000. Ladouceur thought and then reraised the minimum to 710,000. Makhija took a minute, then called to see the turn.

The {7-Hearts} landed on fourth street and Makhija checked. Ladouceur checked behind and the {A-Clubs} was placed out on the river. Makhija checked and Ladouceur moved a tall stack of lavender T100,000 chips into the middle to put Makhija all in.

Makhija reacted quickly with a gesture that explained he didn't like it. He then thought for a bit while talking out loud to himself about the hand.

"So silly to take this line and fold," he said after a minute. "I don't want to bust the Main Event calling off on the river. That's not my style," he continued.

Another minute or so passed and Makhija joked, "Can I ask Danny Wong what he would do? Phone a friend? He's playing pretty well today."

Another little bit passed before Makhija folded the {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} face up, saying that he would normally call with the hand, but not in this situation.

After a little bit of persuasion from the table and Makhija, Ladouceur showed the {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} for a bluff, having a wry smile on his face as he pulled in the pot.

Last year, Ladouceur made a very deep run in the World Series of Poker Main Event. He finished in 63rd place and has already bested that result with his run here, but it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. For his finish last year, Ladouceur won over $130,000.

Jean Malherbe opened for 160,000 under the gun and received a call from Greg Merson. Russell Thomas came along for the ride, as did Jacob Balsiger in the big blind, and it was four-way action to the {2-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} flop.

Balsiger was first to act and checked, opening the door for Malherbe to bet 280,000. Merson was the only player to make the call, and it was heads-up to the {7-Hearts} turn. This time Malherbe slowed down with a check, but check-raised all in for 1.155 million after Merson had bet 425,000. The latter made the call and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Malherbe: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Merson: {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

Malherbe was ahead with his pair of aces, but he needed to dodge the straight and flush draws of Merson. The dealer burned and revealed the {7-Clubs} . Malherbe just looked up at the ceiling upon discovering Merson had made his flush. He then walked around the table, shook hands with the victor, and exited through the ESPN walkway on the way to the payout desk in 48th place.

Scott Abrams opened to 170,000 from under the gun, and Amit Makhija moved all in for 1.27 million from the cutoff. Tristan Clemencon cold-called out of the big blind, and Abrams re-jammed for effectively 2.675 million.

Clemencon went deep into the tank, and examined his stack after the bets were pulled in. While Clemencon was tanking, Makhija picked up his sweatshirt and his backpack, and looked like he was ready to leave.

"Aces?" Clemencon asked Abrams, who didn't answer.

Finally, after a good three minutes, Clemencon called.

Abrams
Makhija
Clemencon

The rail enclosed around the table as the dealer rapped the table, burned a card, and spread {q-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Clubs} .

"There's a lot of spades still in the deck," Makhija announced.

Makhija then made reference to his "one time" before the {7-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn.

The Orange Section of the Amazon Room grew silent as the dealer rapped the table one final time, and when the {9-Hearts} fell on the river, Abram's supporters went wild. Makhija and Clemencon shook a couple of hands before exiting, and the monster pot was pushed to Adams.

By our count, the double knockout rocketed his stack to 9 million chips.

From the middle position, Jesse Sylvia raised to an unknown amount and Andras Koroknai called from the hijack seat before Fabrizio Gonzalez reraised to 430,000 from the cutoff seat. Action folded back to Sylvia and he folded. Koroknai moved all in and Gonzalez quickly called to put himself at risk for about 2.5 million.

Koroknai: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Gonzalez: {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} and Gonzalez was eliminated.
