Livello 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Nicholas Ronalds went all in and was called only by Muaaz Gani with the bigger stack. Gani let his rail know what they were looking for and they were on their feet.

Nicholas Ronalds: Q♥Q♠
Muaaz Gani: A♥K♦

"King!", yelled the rail of Gani and the dealer obliged as the flop fell, K♠2♣6♥, Ronalds needed a queen and a queen only and was drawing thin when the 2♣ peeled on the turn. The river was overkill with the A♠ and Ronalds burst the bubble of the official final table..

Jaeguk Paeng Eliminated in 11th Place ($19,344)

Livello 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Jaeguk Paeng went all in from early position for 3,300,000 just a couple hands after chopping with a pot he was a favorite to win. It folded around to Diego Acquila in the big blind who wasted no time in making the call.

Jaeguk Paeng: 9♥5♥
Diego Acquila: A♣K♦

The 5♠ in the window was a cruel tease to Paeng as it was followed by K♠ and the 7♥ behind it, pulling Acquila into the lead. The 2♦ and Q♦ on the turn and river were no good to Paeng and he ended up the bubble of the unofficial final table.

The remaining ten players have moved to one of the feature tables at Horseshoe.

Livello 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Byambajav Bandi opened to 1,200,000 on the button and Spencer Champlin moved almost all of his stack into the middle out of the big blind, leaving himself just 25,000 behind.

Champlin checked on the 8♦6♥7♠ flop and then called when Bandi bet enough to force him all in.

Spencer Champlin: K♥J♦
Byambajav Bandi: A♠3♥

Champlin was behind and could not find any help on the 2♥ turn or Q♥ river, sending him to the rail in 12th place.

Livello 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Wing Liu moved all-in from late position and was called by Muaaz Gani in the big blind.

Wing Liu: A♦9♠
Muaaz Gani: A♣10♣

Liu was behind going into the flop and the final runout of J♦6♣2♥8♦K♥ would not help keep him in the tournament.

Marc Desantis opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun and was called by Jie Fu in the big blind.

Fu led out for 900,000 on the 2♣Q♣6♣ flop and then called when Desantis moved all in.

Marc Desantis: A♣10♦
Jie Fu: Q♠J♦

Desantis had clubs and aces as his immediate outs but failed to connect on the 5♥ turn or 7♦ river, bringing his deep run to an end.

Livello 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Preston McEwen raised to 4,000,000 from early position, leaving only 75,000 behind "In case I brick the flop," explained McEwen. That bet was called by Jay Lockett in the big blind.

Lockett would lead out all-in on the A♣7♥3♣ flop and McEwen sigh called his remaining chips.

Preston McEwen: Q♥10♣
Jay Lockett: A♦J♣

McEwen would need running cards to catch up and got some help on the 10♠ turn, but the 8♥ river would close the door and send him to the payout desk.
