Zlatin Penev limped in from the cutoff and Junhao Wu opted to check in the big blind.

They both checked through the 7♦3♣5♥ flop to the J♣ on the turn. Wu bet 325,000 for Penev to call.

The river completed the board with the Q♣ and Wu shoved. Penev called with the Q♦J♦ for two pair for Wu to get up as he held the 10♣6♦ for the bluff.

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Derek Normand opened to 200,000 from early position and action folded around to Shashank Jain in the big blind who then moved all in for 1,050,000.

James Anderson then moved all in over the top and Normand went into the tank.

"Agh, this would be so much easier if it was just me and you," Normand said aloud in Jain's direction.

After thinking for another thirty seconds, he announced a fold and the cards were tabled.

Shashank Jain: A♠K♣
James Anderson: A♦Q♠

"See, that's exactly what I didn't want to see! I had pocket eights!" Normand was kicking himself.

He wouldn't kick himself for long, however, as the flop came out A♥Q♣7♥ to immediately give Anderson the lead with top two pair. Jain would need a to hit a king or running jack-ten to win, but the runout of 9♦5♣ did not do it for him and he was sent to the rail in 20th place.

Marco Bognanni Eliminated in 22nd Place ($24,635)

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Before the flop, Justin Kindred and Marco Bognanni managed to get all of of their chips into the middle, with Kindred covering.

Marco Bognanni: J♣J♥
Justin Kindred: Q♣Q♦

Bognanni would need a lot of help to escape this cooler, but the flop of 9♣2♣Q♥ left him drawing very slim. The turn 4♦ left him drawing dead and the 10♣ on the river sent him to the rail in 22nd place.

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Short-stacked George Janssen moved all in preflop for around 900,000 and was called by Derek Normand to put him at risk.

George Janssen: A♠Q♦
Derek Normand: 9♦9♠

Janssen would need some help to stay alive, but the runout of J♠10♣3♣7♥5♣ did him no favors and he was eliminated in 23rd place.
