Nível 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Tom Gottlieb opened 40,000 under the gun, and the cutoff called before Ian Richardson shoved for about 500,000 in the big blind. Gottlieb called off his stack of 230,000 and the cutoff tanked for three minutes before a tablemate called the clock. When the tournament director stuck 0, his hand was killed.

Tom Gottlieb: A♦K♠
Ian Richardson: J♣J♠

The board ran out J♥10♥9♣8♣8♠, giving Richardson a full house to eliminate Gottlieb.

At another table

Wen Hong open jammed from the cutoff for 55,000. Jason Wheeler in the big blind called off the bet and Hong was at risk.

Wen Hong: A♠Q♣
Jason Wheeler: 8♦6♦

The board ran out 8♣8♥7♠6♠Q♠. A full house for Wheeler was enough to send Hong home on the bubble.

However, there was an elimination on a third table at the same time, eliminating all three players, and there were 174 players remaining before the hand so all three split the minimum cash of $2,400.

Dara O'Kearney moved all in for approximately 170,000 from the cutoff and was called by Larry Quang on the button who had slightly less.

Larry Quang: 3♠3♣
Dara O'Kearney: J♣9♣

The board ran out 2♦6♦3♦J♥10♥. Quang's set of threes was good for a full double up while Dara O'Kearney was left on fumes.

A few hands later O'Kearney went all in from early position for approximately 50,000 and was called by Faizal Khoja in late position to put O'Kearney at risk.

Faizal Khoja: A♥9♦
Dara O'Kearney: Q♣J♥

The board ran out 10♥4♥6♥J♥10♣. O'Kearney's two pair could not beat Khoja's ace-high flush and he was sent to the rail shortly after the money bubble burst.

There were about 130,000 chips in the middle and the flop read Q♣J♦5♣. Once the big blind checked, Talesh Patel dropped a bet of 55,000 across the line. His opponent in the big blind check-called.

The K♥ fell on the turn, and the big blind check-raised the bet of 80,000 all-in for 430,000. Patel went gave it some serious thought, taking almost two minutes before calling off his stack of 325,000.

Talesh Patel: K♠4♠
Opponent: 10♣4♣

Patel turned top pair which was ahead but he had to dodge the flush draw and open-ended straight draw of his opponent. The 2♠ river was a safe one though for Patel as he remained in his seat.

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A player from early position opened to 80,000 and another player in the small blind raised all in to 240,000. Renmei Liu reraised all in for about 850,000, sending the early position player into the tank.

After about two minutes the early position stated he had pocket sevens and folded, leaving the small blind player at risk against Liu.

Small Blind: A♥Q♠
Renmei Liu: A♠K♣

Liu was ahead preflop but the 2♥Q♥4♠ left him drawing thin against the small blind's top pair. The J♣ turn improved Liu to a gutshot which came in on the 10♦ river to secure the elimination for Liu who surpassed 1,000,000 chips.
